Visual Studio 2008 not nesting files properly in solution explorer

I have a VS 2008 WinForms project, and I recently added an existing form that was developed in a different VS 2008 project. All of the original forms and controls are nesting correctly, however, with the new form, it is showing the form, designer and resx files as 3 separate items.

Is there a way to force VS to nest these files properly? I've been through the settings, googled, been to MSDN, and can't seem to find information on this.

Edit the .csproj file with, say, Notepad. The <DependentUpon> elements are missing.

Assuming the new form is called "Form1" should look like this for it:

<Compile Include="Form1.cs">
      <SubType>Form</SubType>
    </Compile>
    <Compile Include="Form1.Designer.cs">
      <DependentUpon>Form1.cs</DependentUpon>
    </Compile>
    <EmbeddedResource Include="Form1.resx">
      <DependentUpon>Form1.cs</DependentUpon>
    </EmbeddedResource>
