automatically copy a config file from referenced dll

Question

I have 2 projects in my VS2005 solution: Exe.csproj and Dll.csproj

Dll.csproj has an app.config

Exe.csproj has a project reference to Dll.csproj

If I compile Exe.csproj, than Dll.dll and Dll.pdb will be automatically copied to Exe/bin/debug, but Dll.dll.config not.

Is there any way to get Dll.dll.config in Exe/bin/debug without post build event technique?

Answer 1

Right click on the file (Dll.dll.config) and view it's properties.

Set Copy to Local to True. This will put the file in the output directory automatically.
