VisualStudio WPF. Adding a folder into output directory

I need to create a Folder with Wallpapers. This needs to be placed into the output directory so that users can then add their own images.

So my question is:

How can i place a folder in my output directory? (this should work in debug and release)

For the second part of the question I can handle on my own, which would be to bring all the items in that folder and present it to the user to chose.

Setting items in the folder in your project (assuming you have some default wallpapers) to Build Action = Content, Copy to Output Directory = Copy Always/Copy if Newer will place them inside that same folder structure in your output directory. If you don't already have files there you could add something like a ReadMe.txt with instructions on adding images that could serve the same purpose.

Add a folder to your project and then set its Copy To Output Directory property appropriately.
