SYMPTOMS
Header files in the External Dependencies folder in Developer Studio are not added to source control. They also do not appear in any of the source control dialog boxes.



CAUSE
Files in the External Dependencies are considered external to the project; that is, not part of the project (though still required for a build). Since the files are not part of the project, it does not make sense to add them to source control.



RESOLUTION
If the files in the External Dependencies folder really are part of the project, simply drag and drop them into the project. Once the files are in the project, they may be added to source control.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
