Noob question: VS2005 Console App DLLs location ??

I have VS2005 solution containing a console app project plus a lot of
projects it depends on. When I compile the solution, only those dlls that
are directly referenced are copied to the console app bin/debug output
folder. Projects dlls that are indirectly referenced (i.e. are referenced
only via directly referenced projects) are not copied. This is different
from VS2003. How can I ensure that all required dlls are copied to the
output folder?

Thx

Add references to those DLL's and mark them as CopyLocal...

Thanks Bob.

Do you know of any all-in-one resource that can help someone to move from
using VS2003 to using VS2005 ?

Hello, Let me explain my situation. There is an application in C++ (that I didn't write) that needs to call a C# DLL. One option, I believe, would be to compile the app with the clr switch. Rather than do that first the other developer wondered if I could create an intermediate managed code DLL that would call my C# code. So, I created a C++ DLL that exports a function and compiled it with the clr switch. It calls my C# code. To test...

Two installations of VS 2005 Pro RTM. Same symptom with both. Simple Win32 Console application compiles fine, but when I attempt to run (with or without debugging), message appears: failed to find mdvcp80d.dll. A search reveals the file is present (two instances, 1004 kb each). Anybody else seen this? Any ideas how to rectify the situation?

I have a general question about MSBuild (which I know little about so far) and I hope this is the right newsgroup. I can read the reference documentation about MSBuild, but it's not really telling me what I want to know. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction. We have several projects, mostly C++, that we develop with Visual Studio 2005. I would like to automate this process. All of the targets, executables and DLLs, need to...

Hi, We have a product with bunch of dlls which are now built with Visual Studio 2003. We want to switch the build to use VS2005. I have read that in VS2005 runtime libraries come as side-by-side assemblies and that application has to have a manifest binding it to those assemblies. My question is, can previously built apps use my new dlls build with vs2005? It would be really important to make it work, because otherwise we would...

Hi, We're building an application consisting of an exe and several dlls with VS2005 that needs to be xcopy installed. VS2005 automatically embeds a manifest binding the app and dlls to the assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT' version 8.0.50608.0. Through a policy in the GAC this version is redirected to version 8.0.50727.42 which is deployed with the app. But when deploying this to a machine not having this policy installed,

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
