✅ Visual studio does not display all files
The screenshot displays the directory in file explorer and the directory in visual studio. Why does the docker file, readme and other files not show up in the solution explorer? Is there a setting for this? The find in files functionality also does not let me search inside the files that are not showing up in solution explorer, but are in the project directory.

because that's the solution explorer, not a file explorer
it shows items in your solution
you can explicitly include certain files in your solution if you want them to show up there
Ty. Its just annoying not seeing important things like readmes and docker files
Solution view literal mounts your projects and all their files and folders . There is a toggle button in same window to show all files. In vscode you have an option for folder view.

this is after I manually added the files to the solution

Right you got it
