You just need to have an existing file  open the context menu on your folder   and then choose Add    Existing item      If you have the file already placed within your project structure  but it is not yet included  you can do so by making them visible in the solution explorer     and then include them via the file context menu

If you re having an issue where the Resources added are images and are not getting copied to your build folder on compiling  You need to change the  Build Action  to None from Resource   which is the default  and change the Copy to  If Newer  or  Always  as shown below

You need to turn on Show All Files option on solution pane toolbar and include this file manually

Click on the Project in Visual Studio and then click on the button titled  Show all files  on the Solution Explorer toolbar  That will show files that aren t in the project  Now you ll see that image  right click in it  and select  Include in project  and that will add the image to the project
