However, if I add a file to that directory (let's say, an test.sqlite file in the App_Data folder, or say, images created by some other program), then these files do NOT appear in my Solution explorer, even if I cl...

So instead of: public int SomeValue{get;} you have int SomeInterface.SomeValue {get;} I'm currently considering using one as i'm using an internal interface (to decouple, yet restrict) and I don't want to make the methods on the implementing object to appear in its public API....
