Solution Explorer shows the wrong Modules

[SteveInAlabama]

How does one control what's included and not included in a project?
I am forced by the environment to work in the same directory as other projects. I have written a Class and also a Module with a subroutine that does not show up in my project, yet I see other Modules that are not mine.

When I click on "Show all Files", I see my Class and my Module are in the list but have only a 'white page' icon, not a 'VB' icon even though they were added to my project via Project/Add New Item and they have a .VB extension. So when I call the subroutine, I get an error stating that subroutine name has not been declared.

a) How do I tell Solution Explorer to include them, and
b) how do I tell Solution Explorer not include the other modules that below to other Projects?

Thanks.

Create New Project and save the project in new folder.

1. Click on "Show All Files"
2. Right click (shortcut menu) on file you want to include/exclude
3. Click on Include in Project/Exclude from project.

hmmm... Perhaps my problem is that I'm using the Express versions? In both VB2005 Express and VB2008 Express, a right click on either .vb files I want or don't want yields a menu list of only:
Open/Cut/Copy/Delete/Rename/Properties, and in VB2008 also ViewCode.

The .vb's I don't want have two additional properities: Copy to Output and Build Action (which are currently Compile but could be changed to None, Content, or Embedded Resource). My poor grayed-out orphan .vb's that I want to include don't have these two properties.

OK, sorry for being a dunce. I renamed my orphaned .vb files, then made CERTAIN I had my project open. I added to my project a new Module and new class, copied in my code, and there they are, nice and happy. Still can't figure out why I can't 'add' the old ones, but at least I'm off and running with this workaround.
