Answer 1

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.
