Is there a way to automatically include content files into asp.net project file?

by

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.
