Designed to suck CSS and JS Embedded Resources from Projects of a solution (on saving) into the Startup Application path.

1. Ensure the file you're editing is an Embedded Resource,

2. Ensure the solution has a Startup Application.

Example:

If you're editing a file in "Project b" such as  \content\style.css and save the file. The file will be automatically copied into "Project a" \content\style.css.

Note: The file will not be added into Source Control.

Suction now has a context menu on the:

* Solution

* Project

* Single file

Selecting one of these context items will extract all Embedded Resource under its context.

1.9

Suction will now copy files into a bootstrapper that's in the Solution Folder. Now supports VS2013 - fingers crossed.

1.8

Will not suction cshtml files located in a App_Code path.

1.7

Will not suction cshtml files without the custom tool property being set.

1.6

Now *actually* suctions cshtml files.

1.5

Now suctions cshtml files.

1.4

* Fixed an issue when Suction stops copying files into the Startup project.

* Output window shows where the file is being copied to as opposed to where it's copiedfrom.
