I migrated a solution from VS 2010 to VS 2017. When I build the solution, some files are reported to be missing while they're existing in the specified paths. The solution (which is in C#) was compiling in VS 2010 without any problem. The filenames are the same except their cases. I need to know whether file names are case-sensitive in VS 2017 while they were not in VS 2010? If so, how can I revert this feature, or set the option to ignore the file names cases?

What I have tried:

I tried to find some options indicating this, but I couldn't. I didn't find a clue in the internet too.

XML is case sensitive, and VS project files are XML.

File names are not case sensitive, but text strings in code certainly are. However, we have no idea where the problem is occurring, or even what programming language you are talking about.

This is not a VS issue. The drive has been mapped by SFTP Net Drive. For such virtual drives, in which the original drive is case-sensitive and will be mapped in Windows which is not case-sensitive, there's an option in the last tab, 'Drive', which one should set it. It's:
Handle case-sensitive filenames
