There is nothing automated – in the Solution Explorer you can select the project node and click on the
Show All Filesbutton.You will then see files and folders not referenced by the project as grayed out.
If you wanted to automate this, you could produce a list of all files in the project directory and subdirectories from the OS (using
dirand redirecting the output to a file, for instance) and parse the project file to get a list of all files referenced by it. At this point, it would be a matter of comparing both lists.
