Recently I’ve found how to add a link to an item in Visual Studio so that you can reference common or shared files between projects. Editing the original propagates the changes to the projects where the file is referenced. But you can also edit the reference item and the changes are reflected in the original file, is there a way to prevent this behavior?
Reference item is the original file.
If you don’t want “the original” to change, copy the file instead of referencing it.
Also, people like editing files.
If some code is not supposed to be edited, make it a binary.
