I added a folder to my project by right clicking on the project and adding a new folder. Now I added the image to the folder (using copy paste in Windows File Explorer), but the solution explorer is not showing my added image. I did refresh the solution as well.
Also, in that folder, there is no option of adding an image, only Visual Studio files (new items etc)..
Why isn't Solution Explorer showing my image?
You just need to have an existing file, open the context menu on your folder , and then choose Add => Existing item...
If you have the file already placed within your project structure, but it is not yet included, you can do so by making them visible in the solution explorer
and then include them via the file context menu
You need to turn on Show All Files option on solution pane toolbar and include this file manually.
Click on the Project in Visual Studio and then click on the button titled "Show all files" on the Solution Explorer toolbar. That will show files that aren't in the project. Now you'll see that image, right click in it, and select "Include in project" and that will add the image to the project!
If you're having an issue where the Resources added are images and are not getting copied to your build folder on compiling. You need to change the "Build Action" to None from Resource ( which is the default) and change the Copy to "If Newer" or "Always" as shown below :

I am trying to add an Excel File that I have existing on my computer to the Solution Explorer in my Project, but when I try to look for the existing item (or add a new item for that matter) looking for an excel file nothing related to a xlsx File exists, not sure if I am missing a nuget package I have tried to download everyting i know pertinent to the project. please help
You don't add the file using the Add Item dialogue.
You can right click on the project in the Solution Explorer and go to Add and then Existing Item and find the file in the project directory.
or
You can just put the file in the project's folder directory, check Show All Files in the Solution Explorer panel, and then find the file, wherever you put it in the directory, right click and then go to Include In Project.
I am new in TFS, i have did GetLatestVersion but all newly added file in TFS was not getting in visual stdio but i can see those added file in TFS Server. Please suggest?
Click on the Show All Files in solution explorer to see the newly added file. It will be greyed out. Right click on the file and select Include to get it added to your project or soltion.
Common problem is that file will be present in source control but not included into the solution.
You can do it this way:
File > Source Control > Advanced > Open from Source Control
Find you Team Project
Open its .proj, .sln file, whichever is appropriate
Select 'Yes' / 'Overwrite' if it says you have the same files locally
This will ensure you get all the files from source control, rather than just those in your local project definition.
I changed the name of my folder which holds my project. Now when i open the project in Visual Studio, no files open automatically. It is important that i submit this project very professionally. Is there a way that i can make my Form.cs file show automatically in VS when the project is opened, as it does by default if you do not change the project folder name?
You will need to right click on the project in Solution Explorer, go to:
Add -> Existing Item
Then find your Form.cs file
I thought it would be as easy as creating a new folder, copy-pasting source tree into it and referencing the lib from a source file. But the copied files do not show up under the new folder in Solution Explorer sidebar. Obviously there is more than that.
What do I need to do to make this work?
You need to click on the "Show All Files" in the Solution explorer toolbar, and then right click on the folders/files and select "Include in project".
Sorry, i am new to VS... :'(
I am currently using VS2010. When i am trying to double-click a .csproj to load a project, it just load a XML instaed of all the associated .cs / properties / reference files. I did previously can load other projects with .csproj. So i am wondering if it's related to the project itself.
Any way I can spot/check the reason/root-cause of it? (from the XML file loaded?)
Is it because the project is previously developed using other older VS, like VS2008 / VS2005?
Thanks.
Maybe you have accidentally changed the default file association of your .csproj files. Go into the Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Set Associations to see what application is set to open the file and change it to Visual Studio.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Click Folder Options.
Click File Types tab in Folder Options window and the full file
types and their association will be listed.
Click New and type the File Extension in the box and then click
Advanced.
Choose an association for the file type.
Click OK and then Click Close.
Open the file again
