ProjectItem^ AddFromFileCopy(
	String^ FilePath
)

Parameters

FilePath
Type: System::String^

Required. The path and file name of the project item to be added.

Return Value

Type: EnvDTE::ProjectItem^

A ProjectItem object.

AddFromFileCopy adds a project item from a file already installed in the project directory structure, or copies it verbatim, if necessary, to move it into the project directory. AddFromFileCopy differs from AddFromFile because it does not add a link, and it differs from AddFromTemplate in that it does not necessarily copy the file or apply a template.

This example works only in Visual Studio .NET 2003. For more information, see .a0b479e4-3c83-4407-986c-1d7353d6a406

   ' Create a new VB Console application project. Adjust the save path as 
   ' needed.
