Change destination build directory in Visual Studio

Question

I'm new to Visual Studio. I have imported a Visual Studio project made of several sub-projects. I can build all of them, but I don't know where the IDE put the executables files once built.

How can I get/set the destination directory of a project from Visual Studio?

I'm using Visual C++ 2010 Express.

The default output directory is :

$(SolutionDir)$(Configuration)\

So by default, output binaries will be created in:

Path\To\Your\Solution\[Configuration]\.

Configuration can be something like "Debug" or "Release".

Depending on your project settings, these directories can vary. You can see/change those settings in :

Menu Project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> General -> Output Directory
