hi,

in visual studio :
is it possible to add a cs-file to a project without visual studio making a
copy of the original file.
So, I want to leave the file at its original location (as in VS 6.0).

I know it is possible to move a file in the project by opening it,
right-click in the editor window and then select "move into project".
Unfortunately intellisense does not work then.

Any ideas ?
thnx

Select the file you want to add, just beside the Open button, there is an
arrow button.
Press this and you can add the file as a link.

Hi Chris,

I pushed the button (just left of the Open-button) : added an existing item
.... but he still makes a copy !
This button is just another way to add something to the project (as you do
via the menu or via shortcut menus).

So, how do you manage ?

thnx
Chris
 
On my system the button is to the right of the open button.
When you press this, you get a menu, one of the options is "Link file".
If you select this, the file is added as a link, in the solution explorer it
is
show with an icon similar to shortcuts.
