In VS 2005, i want to add a folder tree into a solution folder I created.

VS 2005 does not seem to be able to add a folder tree into a solution and I may have to manually add
the sub-folders one at a time.

Is there a way to tell VS 2005 to bulk add the files in a folder tree or do I really need to perform
that chore manually?

Regards.

You could write a macro I suppose. I'd like this functionality too, since we
ensure our project layouts match the file system layouts. I believe this
came up as a suggestion during the VS2005 beta but MS didn't implement it.
Instead you can toggle a button in Solution Explorer to view all files
instead of just those in the solution, but that just doesn't work if your
solution file is not at the root of your codebase.
