Add an EXE file to a project, so that it will be copied to the Bin/Debug folder just like a DLL?
You can go the properties of the file, and under Copy to output Directory select, copy if newer
You could add the executable as item to your C# project and in its properties set its Copy to Output Directory
property to Copy always
. This way the executable will be copied to the output folder (bin\Debug
or bin\Release
) everytime you compile your project.
Create a batch file that is performing the copy action after the build. It is possible to do other stuff pre-build and post build. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ke5z92ks.aspx
