Your computer might show different names or locations for some of the Visual Studio user interface elements in the following instructions. The Visual Studio edition that you have and the settings that you use determine these elements. For more information, see Personalize the IDE.

To add a configuration file to your Office project

  2. In the Categories pane, click General.

  3. In the Templates pane, select Application Configuration File.
