sir, please check if they are added in to your project as References. If so, it will always copy from source to the "Debug" or "Release" folder.

There are not "Release mode" or "Debug mode". Those are just different configurations. You can always add your own configurations. "Debug" and "Release" are just names, they don't have to be related to debugging or any "modes".

Clean up everything, build again. Check up the parameters of the project related to the files, output and intermediate directories. It's easy to keep files related to different configurations using the macro reference $(Configuration). To see how it works, create a brand-new project and look at the project properties (and/or project file itself).

after reading a bit more about this I realised that the debug version of the dll gets copied into my release bin folder. I think this should not happen ideally. Is there a way out

You should never add/modify anything in your obj and output directories; you can only remove them.

I havent modified anything as yet. Just wanted to know if there was any setting in VS 2010 through which I could stop the debug version dlls to be built into my Release\bin folder

Well, I don't know what was wrong, but my advice should help.
