When an application build is executed, the Build Action property of a file is set indicating how that file is stored within Visual Studio. The Build Action property can have the following values:
- Embedded Resource: The Embedded Resource value is mainly used for resource files. This value is set when a file is embedded in the main project build output as a DLL or executable.
- None: The None value is set when a file is not included in the project output group and is not compiled in the build process. For example, a text file such as a Readme file contains documentation and does not need to be compiled when the build is processing.
- Compile: The Compile value is set when a file is compiled into the build output group process. It is used mainly for code files.
- Content: The Content value is set when a file is not compiled but is included in the Content output group. For example, the default value of any kind of Web file such as .html file is set to Content.
