How can I add documents to specific forms?
I can add documents to the root, or to specific folders but I want to add documents to a form so when I expand the form I not only see the designer and the resx file but also my own scans and documentation.

I don't think you can: I've certainly never seen it done, and can't see any obvious mechanism to add them.

You can create templates for new Form files, but again, I can't see a way to add other files to the .CS extension file.

I suspect you may have to create a separate folder or folders and keep your documents there instead.

I've found VS addins which may help you, but I didn't test it:

Thanks Marcin,

I followed the first msdn link and it looks like the nestin plugin is exactly what I need. Currently I still use C#2008, and it doesn't work with this version, but that gives me extra incentive to proceed with the current testing of C#2013!

Thanks,
Rob
