Noob question: VS2005 Console App DLLs location ??

Rick

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

Thanks Bob.

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