Now in aspx page when i tried to add the href link its not showing the files. I have rebuild the solution. But still its not showing. Do i need to add any references?

Answer 1

You need to include the files in your project.

Read MSDN: How to: Add Existing Items to a Project .

Answer 2

You have to include the folder in your project first. Here is a step by step about how to include files/folders in your project.

For example, I have a project, now I want to include a XML file named Places.xml to my project.

It won't be visible in your solution explorer at first. You have to click Show All Files to see it.

Right click the file, choose Include in Project .

Now, you can see its icon turn brighter.

Re-build the project, and that's all.
