I have several components that run with external linked files such as XML Schema and XSLT stylesheets. I like to link rather than embed so I can extend and enhance without re-compile.

The only way I have found to link these files at compile is using the command line compiler and the /linkresource: switch. Does anyone know a way if linking resources at compile using the VS Net IDE? I can only find 'Embedded Resource' in the Build Action property dropdown.
