I've inherited a bit of a convoluted architecture; Loosely, I have an unmanaged third party DLL that supports side-by-side versioning, for which a C++/CLI wrapper has been written.

I would like the third party DLL to be copied to the output directory as part of the build - I was under the impression that setting its Content property to True should do this, but that doesn't seem to be the case. What other hoops do I have to jump through?

@AlastairTaylor that doesn't work for onward dependencies though? – Rowland Shaw Mar 06 '12 at 13:27
