How to import a folder of resources into Visual Studio

Question

Hi there I am building a basic poker game and I need to import images of all the cards and keep them in their folders to keep organised. Visual Studio only allows me to import images and not folders. Is there any way to select and import an entire folder and its contents?? Also I'm displaying the images as labels. is this the best way or should I use an image/picture holder Thanks in advance!

Microsoft provides sample games of card games; have you looked for that? Have you looked for relevant articles in this web site?

In the Solution Explorer create a new folder in your project. Using Windows Explorer navigate to the folder where your images are stored and select all the files you want to import(Hold CTRL to select multiple items). Right Click-> Copy go back to Visual Studio and right click on the folder you just added in your project. Click paste and all of the files are now added into your project as resources. I know that route works might work the same way with a folder instead of multiple files. Never tried it.
