visual studio 2010 - How to set Build Action on a file - Advanced Properties Not Displayed in properties window

Question

There is no advanced properties settings available for the files in my ASP NET 4.0 project in VS2010. I have looked through the options settings and I dont see how to turn them on.

I am looking for the Build Action setting so I can set to Embedded Resource.

Is this only available if the project is compiled to an assembly DLL?

Here's a screen shot from 4guysfromrolla sample. Note that their sample is a user control.

Answer 1

The response marked as the answer is not correct. These properties are available for ASP.NET applications, but only if the project type is a web application.

Files on websites, in contrast, do not have these properties. The reason is that the Build Action, for example, is stored in the project file. Since websites lack project files, the Build Action cannot be set.
