This may not really sound hard to do but it is currently killing me.

This may not really sound hard to do but it is currently killing me. Currently i have a Visual Studio 2008 C# Project that i use in conjunction with a DAL generator , its nothing fancy at all besides generating files that i can use in the project to access the database.

The problem i am having is that after the generator has run and the files are created they never show up in my project (new files , old existing files are fine). To add them i have to show hidden files (In visual studio) then include all of the files manually. So is there anyway to automatically include these files into my project.

Thanks in advance

  1. In VS2008:

    1) Right click on your project node.

    2) Select ‘Unload project’.

    3) Right click on the project node.

    4) Select ‘Edit foo.csproj’

    5) In the element add a element that includes your DAL files using wildcards like:

    <Compile Include='DAL_*.cs' />

    or

    <Compile Include='DataAccessLayer\*.cs' />

    6) File.Save

    7) Right click on the project node.

    8) Select ‘Reload project’.
