Files show up in Solution Explorer in Visual Studio with a shortcut icon. What does that mean?
问题 I've downloaded FParsec's library source code, and all the files appear with the shortcut symbol. What does it mean? 回答1: When the item was added to that project, it was added as a link Project -> Add Existing Item -> Add as Link The file is most likely hosted in another location in the directory structure, and can also be referenced normally by another project. From MSDN: Adding an Existing Item as a Link You can also add an item as a link rather than directly adding the file to your project
