Moving files to bin folder.

[Frank Rizzo]

When I add a configuration file (app.config) to a WinForms project, it
seems like the when I compile the app, vs.net copies the file into the
Bin/Release (or Bin/Debug) folder. How can I add an arbitrary XML file
(or something else) and have it copied to the Bin/Release folder as well?

Just add an XML file to your project, and ensure the Build Action of the
file is set to Content (Click on file, and look at the properties).

You can use an add-in to do that:
