Visual studio not copying content files from indirectly referenced project

Question

I have the following project structure:

Library1 <--[project reference]-- Library2 <--[ref]-- Executable
--------                          --------             


        

Answer 1

One variation on Brenda's answer would be to add the Library1's content file(s) as Link(s) in the Executable project. You'd still have the entries in the project but you wouldn't need manage multiple copies of each file.
