Why doesn't a dll exist in the output path

I have 3 projects in a one solution:

a references b (CopyLocal = true), and b references c (CopyLocal = true).

Why doesn't c.dll exist on a's output path?

It's because the code of project a doesn't use directly project b. (It calls an another class's method which uses (references) b.dll and c.dll...)

Because only referenced projects are included in the build and copied to the output directory. It doesn't matter b references a. It will just not copy the file.

You need to add a reference to a in your project c.
