I'm frequently adding a lot of content files (mostly images and js) to my ASP.NET project. I'm using VS publish system, and on publish, new files are not published until I include them in the project. I would like to auto include all files in specified directory. Is there a way to specify which directories should be auto-included in csproj file or anywhere else?

What is a CSProj file? Files with CSPROJ extension represent a C# project file that contains the list of files included in a project along with the references to system assemblies.
In addition to the generic Item element, ItemGroup allows child elements that represent types of items, such as Reference , ProjectReference , Compile , and others as listed at Common MSBuild project items.
When you create a new project, Visual Studio saves it to its default location, %USERPROFILE%\source\repos. To change this location, go to Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Locations.
Old thread, I know, but I found a way to do this that I keep forgetting, and on my search to find it one last time, I stumbled upon this question. The best way I've found to this is is to use the BeforeBuild target in the .csproj file.
<Target Name="BeforeBuild"> <ItemGroup> <Content Include="**\*.less" /> </ItemGroup> </Target> VS 2010 won't touch this section, and it ensures that your files are included as content every time the project is built.
