title: pending add image asp.net mvc 5 visual studio
body: <p>I get a "Pending add" message when I hover over the "+" sign in front of an image (whether in .png, .gif, or .jpg format) that I've just added to a project. Even though Visual Studio shows a thumbnail of the image when I hover over its name in the Solution Explorer, it is not showing up as the background of the body of my page. (When I alternately assign a background color in that same body section, that color DOES show up.) Don't know why it would matter, but I added this image by right-clicking my new Images folder and adding an existing item. </p>
  
  <p>I've already gone through answers involving Pending changes, and none of those are helpful here. Any suggestions for getting this image to stop "Pending add" and be added already, so that it will render, please? Thank you.</p>
