Is there a way to copy content files to the build directory in vb.net?
In C# you can use build-events but I don't see them anywhere in a VB
project.

Thanks,

Sam

In theory, setting "Build Action" to "Content" in the file's properties
would do it, but alas, that is not the case.

VB does not have build actions like C#, so with a vs.net build there's no
way to do this short of using a vs.net macro or add-in.
