Output into subfolder

[climblinne]

Hello,

is there an easy way to put the assembly (and their dependencies & runtime config) into a separate subfolder, when calling it from the native binary library?

May be as a MSBuild property?

Thanks

Not really at present. This involves understanding how a user wants to deploy the generated managed/native pair. It would introduce some serious complexity into the system to support such an option. I think it would better to file an issue and push the single file scenario for Class Libraries/Components. Right now it is only for Applications.

See https://github.com/AaronRobinsonMSFT/DNNE/issues/30

Yes, I think you are right. I just patched my DNNE to link to a subfolder with the assembly name. The copy have to be done manual. Not ideal, but it works for myself at the moment.
