You can use VS post build events to copy the generated dlls.

something like:

copy $(TargetPath) new/path/to/dll/mydll.dll

can you please specify what i can mention on new/path/to/dll/mydll.dll

This is where you want to copy the DLL to, this is a standard DOS copy command.

In your project properties there is a Build Events section. You can use the post-build events to output your DLL's to different locations.
