title: Why are my binaries not placed in the /bin/release folder when I build a Windows Service in C#?
body: <p>I am new to C# and VS 2010, and am following an online guide to creating a C# Windows Service in Visual Studio 2010.</p>
  
  <p>When I try and build the application however, I don't get any files created under the <code>/bin/release</code> folder.</p>
  
  <p>I do get files under the <code>/bin/Debug</code> folder.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried all the build configurations e.g Active, DEBUG, Release, All but nothing changes.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried closing the solution down and restarting etc.</p>
  
  <p>I have also experienced this same problem on a number of other projects which have been C# console apps.</p>
  
  <p>The <code>/bin/release</code> folder exists (as I had to create it by hand) and I have checked the output path in the properties tab to ensure the release configuration is targeted to that folder.</p>
  
  <p>I asked our "C# guru" at work and he didn't have a clue. Does anyone know what could be causing this?</p>
