Why can't I see my image in my Image container from .NET solution?


I have an images folder in which I have stored an image. I can see it in my file explorer, but in my .NET solution, I can only see the images folder. I can't see the image which is inside that folder.

Help me out in this as I am using ASP.NET web forms.


Solution

  • In order to see the files inside of the solution or project, you have to add them. Simply creating a folder and copying files into it will not suffice.

    In Solution Explorer, Right-Click on the images folder> Add> Existing Item... Browse for the files you want to include, and then click on 'Add'

    On a side note, when adding images to your project, it is a good idea to optimize them. I've included a link below to the Visual Studio Marketplace where you can find the Image optimizer from Madz Kristensen, which can help you reduce the file size, without losing noticeable quality.
