Build Action

The Build Action property indicates what Visual Studio does with a file when a build is executed. Build Action can have one of several values:

• None - The file is not included in the project output group and is not compiled in the build process. An example is a text file that contains documentation, such as a Readme file.

• Compile - The file is compiled into the build output. This setting is used for code files.

• Content - The file is not compiled, but is included in the Content output group. For example, this setting is the default value for an .htm or other kind of Web file.

• Embedded Resource - This file is embedded in the main project build output as a DLL or executable. It is typically used for resource files.

The Build Action property is extensible. As a result, you may see additional options listed for this property that have been added by other products and features.
