title: Copy native dependencies locally in a Visual Studio project
body: <p>I have a mixed mode C++ project producing a managed dll assembly exporting some CLR classes (call it Managed.dll). This project is using a native dll, (call it Native.dll).</p>
  
  <p>When I reference the Managed.dll from another project producing Client.exe, everything works as expected, except than I need to manually copy the Native.dll in the same folder as Client.exe.</p>
  
  <p>If there a way to convince VS to copy locally (in the bin folder of Client.exe) not only Managed.dll but Native.dll as well?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to include Native.dll as a dependency assembly in the manifest but this didn't help.  </p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
  
  <p>Managed.dll is going to be a redistributable assembly. It will be installed in a folder in "C:\Program Files.....". When a developer using Visual Studio adds a reference to Managed.dll, Native.dll should be also copied in the \bin folder of his project.</p>
