Visual Studio - bin folder 'include in project' option

Jon Maz

Hi,

Got a simple one. In the VS.NET Solution Explorer you can right-click on
the "bin" folder and there is an option to "Include in Project". Selecting
this option changes the icon next to the dll's (and pdb's) in the bin.

* What exactly does this do?
* When and why would you want to do this?

Thanks,

JON

The Bin folder is always included in your project although it is normally
hidden from your view since you don't generally need to work with it or its
contents directly.

The main use for the "Include In Project" is for when you might want to
import some miscellaneous items into your project and so you manually place
them in the project folder yourself. Although they will be in the project
folder, VS.NET will not be aware of them. You can "show all files", "include
the file(s)" and then VS.NET will know about your files and you'll be able
to edit them in VS.NET as well as have them included in the deployment
process.
