Visual Studio “Add As Link” not working while debugging

[Nitloolla]

I use Visual Studio 2010 to maintain around 40 different web applications that are all housed on the same website upon deployment. These projects are in the same solution but housed in different projects as they each do very different things. I'm trying to share css/js files among the various projects via the "Add As Link" option that way I can update the css or js files once and automatically have the updates reflected in the various projects without having to build and redeploy each project. The issue that I am having is when I am trying to run a project locally on my PC for debugging purposes those linked files aren't working. I'm getting a file not found.\[quote\] My Thought: I assume that this because the folder structure is different when running the applications locally. I'm curious if there is a way to copy the files to the project only when building in debug mode and adjust the relative URLs accordingly so that I will be able to properly test the application before publishing to our web server.\[/quote\]Thanks,
