I've noticed on a few tutorials online that when a new ASP.NET Server Control is added, it automatically includes Properties folder (containing AssemblyInfo.cs) and a References folder.
This works fine for me when creating a C# Server Control, but in VB.NET I just get a template .vb file and a Project file.
Why is this and how can I get an AssemblyInfo.vb file?
AssemblyInfo.vb file is created for every project. By default it is not displayed in the Solution/Project Explorer.
To view this file and others in Visual Studio click Project >> Show All Files menu items.

In my current project I have a folder with several files that the application needs to function properly. The folder is in the bin/debug folder and with the line Application.StartupPath I can easily access the files. It couldn't be easier.
However, when I publish the application the files don't seem to be included in the project, at least not at the StartupPath.
So my question is: how am I supposed to add this folder to my published application?
First, you'll need to include those files in your project. Then click each file in the Solution Explorer and in the Properties Windows change the value for "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy Always".
I am trying to port my Windows 8 Store application from Developer Preview to RTM now and I got problems with importing old XAML layout into the newly created project (the old project isn't runnable anymore).
Whenever I import .xaml and .xaml.cs files, they are not recognized as a single file. Rather, two different files are added. How can I import both files as a single "entity", as it happens if I add a new XAML page to my project?
Corresponding .cs or .vb files are imported on import of .xaml files,
but in VS2012 there is one catch:
you must import only one XAML file at a time
If you mark more than one file in file selector, XAML files are not paired correctly with their corresponding code files (even in case if you switch filter to All Files and then select both XAML and code files).
When including XAML files you should have both XAML and xaml.cs files in the same folder, and then in Visual Studio select for including only the XAML files, not the xaml.cs files - they should be included automatically in the process.
In Visual Studio 2015: To add an existing XAMLs with its corresponding code-behind, just copy all the files (.xaml and .vb) via File Explorer and Paste in VS' Solution Explorer.
Is there a way I can publish *.ascx files without adding them to my project?
I am trying to make my user controls in Visual Studio 2010 reusable. I have a project containing my user controls called ControlsLibrary solution directory. I copy the ascx files to the web directory upon building the project with build events.
I use the command copy "$(SolutionDir)ControlLibrary\*.ascx" "$(ProjectDir)controls\"
This copies the *.ascx files from G:/SolutionDirectory/ControlsLibrary to C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/WebProject/controls
Now when I publish WebProject, the publish does not copy the *.ascx files from C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/WebProject/controls to my website. This is because they are not added to my project.
Is there a way I can publish *.ascx files without adding them to my project?
I know there is a way to publish all files by selecting the option "All files in this project." That includes more files than I want.
Have you considered using the Virtual Path Provider approach? Here's a good article on it: Load Web Forms and User Controls from Embedded Resources.
I am working in VB.NET and I am familiar with working in the vb[design] view as well as regular vb. I am looking to view/edit my APP.CONFIG file how do I access this file? I am using Visual Studio 2008
The file should be in your project root directory. You can open it by double clicking it in the solution explorer. If the file is not there, you will need to add it using the add new item dialog (from the Project menu), and choosing "Application configuration file"
You can add it a couple of ways, first by adding it via the new item dialog as you would a new class file, etc... OR by double clicking on the My Project Icon and going to your settings tab and adding settings. This will aso create the app.config.
i am using itextsharp and creating a PDF with images.
currently the images i am using in the application are on my desktop, but i will need to make an installation file that will put the images in a specified directory on the users computer and be able to call them from the specific directory.
how do i include pictures with my build?
how do i reference the pictures? currently i am using:
Dim jpeg3 As Image = Image.GetInstance(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) & "\2.jpg")
How and where do you add the pictures?
If you simply added them to the project as if they were code files (using "add existing item"), then check the Properties for the file in the solution explorer (Build Action, and Copy To Output Directory are useful), and also the Application Files button/window (under the project settings -> Publish). This is useful for distributing the files along with the application (for both debug and release), deployed in a specific sub-directory.
If you added the files to the project's resource file, you can use them using the My.Resources namespace.
