Why Visual Studio doesn't move some files in publish?

When I try to publish my project, Visual Studio doesn't move some files to target publish folder. Currently I have this problem with .json files. I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and MVC4.

Is there any configuration about which files or mime-types should be published and moved to target folder?

When you want to Visual Studio move files to target publish folder click right on the file in solution explorer and select properties then set Build Action to Content.

You can set the Copy to Output Directory property of a file in Visual Studio. Click the file name, press F4 to open the properties, and set Copy to Output Directory to Copy always or Copy if newer.
