Visual Studio 2008: No Build Events folder on the project Properties page

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional to build a VB.NET console application. I have a text file that I want to copy to the output directory after a build. I would like to create a build event to do that, but I do not see a "Build Events" folder on the property page. Is there a setting where I can get this folder? Or, is there another way I can set up a post-build event to copy a file to the output directory?

The folders I see on the Properties page: Application Compile Debug References Resources Services Settings Signing My Extensions Security Publish

Compile tab. Scroll down and right, click the Build Events button.

But, no need to do it that way, just add it to your project with Project + Add Existing Item. Select it and in the Property window set Build Action to "Content" if you want it deployed, Copy to Output to "Copy if newer".
