Deploy unmanaged dependecy dll within a .NET control

i've a c# wincontrol that depends on a bunch of c++ unmanaged dlls. 

dotnetctrl.dll
 +
 +--myliba.dll
 +
 +--mylibb.dll

Is there a way to include these mylib[a|b].dll when deploying the dotnetctrl.dll? i.e. When in a project I add a reference to dotnetctrl, is there a way to make the mylib dlls available in the right path just like .NET assembly?

Copy the DLLs to the directory where the .NET binary file is and it will load the unmanaged DLL's within that directory.

Hope this helps.

Click on the unmanaged DLLs, then in Properties, change the "Build Action" to "None" and the Copy to Output Directory to "Copy if newer"
