Yes, I understand that you can put multiple files in a component, but that means I have to write the Source for each of the files, and spell out each file xml element. I basically just want to set the Source to a directory and include all files under that directory. Or some process that converts a directory to <File Id="A" Source="A.txt"> <File Id="B" Source="B.txt">
I can't be typing this each and everytime. Heat tool. I'll look into it. Do you know of any websites with tutorial on it?
