Visual Studio - Items within folder - Can all items in folder always have property of embedded resource always?

I have a console application with a folder. This folder contains files that are added to it on a daily basis. In order for this application to be executed at a later date these files need to be marked as embedded resources. As this application is packaged up.

Is there anyway to have all items in a folder marked as an embedded resource? Either automatically or programatically? Basically, I just want to make sure if an item is added to this folder it is automatically included as an embedded resource.

I know how to right click, properties, set a file as an embedded resource, but others tend to forget to do this which causes research back down the chain etc.

You should follow the instructions in this question.

Basically, you want to edit the .csproj file manually to do something like this:

<ItemGroup>
  <Content Include="myfolder**\*.dll**" />
</ItemGroup>

So you'll want to use wildcards (*) to match the folder name.
