Parameters

  The item type of the added item.

• unevaluatedInclude
  Type: System.String

  Include attribute of the item to be added.

Return Value

Type: IList<ProjectItem>
Returns the added item.

Remarks

Any metadata can be added later. Does not modify the project source if a wildcard expression already includes the new item.

Evaluation takes place on a best-effort basis. Items that are defined in the project source following the new item may be used for evaluation. Only this item is evaluated. Other items that might depend on it are not affected.
