How do i add an App_Data folder in visual studio?

Question

This is a silly question but How do I add an App_Data folder to a project? i have an xsd file that i want to include into the project.

Answer 1

App_Data only exists for ASP.NET web sites and web applications.

If you have a web app or web site, right-click on the main node for the web site/app and pick "Add ASP.NET Folder" - this opens up a context submenu, which should contain "App_Data" as one of its options.
