How to deploy dlls included in a project that is not the startup project.

[BLUE]

I've 5 projects and in 2 of them I have added some dll I need to copy to the
handheld (add existing item).
When I build and deploy the solution these files are not copied to the
device: is there a workaround?


Thanks,
Luigi.

Hello BLUE" blue,

Did you set "Copy Local = true" into the properties of referred component
in VS IDE?

Hi,

A fast workaround would be just to include these dll in the final app and
mark them as content, I have a similar escenario and they always get copied
(everything marked as content is)

Most probably he does P/invoke those dlls ,so they will not be copied along.
The dll resulting of the project will be.

Yep, it could be,
so the alternative solution is just use the post-build action to copy them
to the desired location
