I really appreciate the Stack Exchange community. This isn't a terrible search . VP of a medium company, B.S. in Computer Science, mostly working with the ASP.NET MVC technology stack. I am the only person at the company who deals with software development making me fill the rolls of a software designer, programmer, dba, server admin, and graphics artist. As you can see from my gravatar, this causes me to wear many hats (hint: they are all from an old winterbash). My main goals when designing and coding are: how can I make the user experience easiest, and how can I reduce redundancy. "Acknowledge your faults so you can overcome them."

So I just performed the coup de gras on my project by accidentally clicking on Exclude From Project instead of Add on my controllers folder.

When trying to add a folder named Controllers I get the error "this folder exists". However, If I try to click on the project -> Add Existing... I cannot select a folder, but only the controllers.

Kind of at a loss here, has anyone had experience with this, or does anyone know how to get the folders back into the solution?
