Hello,

I'm a Seasoned developer with a requirement I haven't faced before, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question.

I have a solution with two projects:
Utility.exe - commandline utility
Main.exe - Winforms application. This project has a "Tools" subfolder.

When I compile the solution, I simply want the utility.exe to appear in the Tools subfolder of main.exe (and for the latest utility.exe to be refreshed in the Tools subfolder each time I rebuild the solution).

I'm looking for the simplest, most straight-forward way of handling this.
I prefer not to have to manually create any scripts or anything like that. If VS has native functionality to handle something like this I prefer to do it that way.

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Okay so set the output directory of the Utility project to the "tools" folder.
