title: Do MSTest deployment items only work when present in the project test settings file?
body: <p>I can't seem to grasp how MSTest deployment items are supposed to be configured. I have been able to get them working properly by modifying the project's test settings file, but this is less then ideal -- the deployment item configuration is separated from individual tests, and the file paths appear to be stored as absolute paths unless the files are under the solution folder.</p>
  
  <p>Am I not supposed to be able to add a deployment item using the <code>[DeploymentItem]</code> attribute on either a <code>[TestClass]</code> or <code>[TestMethod]</code> without having to create/modify a project test settings file? How do I accomplish this?</p>
  
  <p>(Frankly, I don't understand the need for a separate deployment item configuration -- why not just use the existing 'Copy to Output Directory' settings for project files that should be deployment items?)</p>
