How to Add a File to the SSIS Project Miscellaneous Folder

Question

I'm using BIDS2008 and I want to add a file to the Miscellaneous folder of my SSIS project.

I have tried:

1. to drag-and-drop a file to the folder icon in Solution Explorer - not allowed
2. to right-click the folder icon - return 0 menu options
3. to add-item from the project icon in Solution Explorer - didn't see anything helpful there
4. to create the folder by hand, add a dummy text file, close-reopen-rebuild solution - no success of any kind

This must be something really simple, but I have no idea what.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Right click on the Project Click ADD->Exisiting Item. Now you can point to any files in the dialogue box which does not have extension such as dtsx or config .Selecting these files will automatically place them in Miscellaneous folder
