I have two projects, one VB6 project which compiles to an EXE and one MSVC++2010 project which compiles to a DLL. The DLL needs to be in the same folder as the EXE file in order
Visual Studio has pre and post build events that you can use to accomplish what you want to do.
just go to Project: "project name" properties you should see a tab named build events. There you should be able to create Macros to do it for you.
Hope this helps.
