Change VS build folder to the same folder (windows form and console)

Question

I have a product composed by some different files:

1. Some windows form applications (windows form + .net5).
2. Some console applications (.net5)
3. Some class libraries shared by them (.net5)
4. Some json data used by them.

I changed all of the build output folders to "W:\\Cci", but it turned out that they are not in the exactly place:

1. All windows form applications will be put in: "W:\\Cci\\net5.0-windows"
2. All console applications will be put in : "W:\\Cci\\net5.0"

Which means they cannot share json data files.

I know that there is a "Publish" function might do the job, but I want to debug them in the same folder as well.

Anyone can help? thanks.

Answer 1

This works for me:

1. In the Solution Explorer.
2. Expend your-solution-name(the project)/Dependencies/Projects.
3. Right click "Projects" and select "Add Project Reference".
4. Select the dlls.
5. Build the solution.

After that, the .net dlls appear both in W:\\Cci\\net5.0 and W:\\Cci\\net5.0-windows.
