Answer 1

You can use Post-build Event in project properties. Using this event you can copy dll file any other place or directory after build but dll project must be added in this project.

Answer 2

Go to Projct properties. Tab "Build". Change Output path

If I am not wrong I believe you can using Element . You can do this in app.config file The following example shows how to specify application base subdirectories the runtime should search for assemblies.

Personally I have not tested this. I found this in here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/823z9h8w.aspx
