ProjectItem.AddFromFile only copies file , but does not add to project

Hi all,

I am trying to create a VS project using C#. I am able to successfully create the same and save it to a location.

I have a requirement that I am not able to work through. After creating the project, I have to copy from files (from a physical file location) to folder under the project. The file needs to be copied physically as well as get added to the Project also. I am able to traverse the project and find the folder. I use this code :

Project proj = soln.Projects.Item(1);
            ProjectItems items =  proj.ProjectItems;

            foreach (ProjectItem projectItem in items)
            {
                var i = projectItem.Kind.ToUpper();
                if (i == DTEConstants.vsProjectItemKindPhysicalFolder)
                {
                    var i1 = projectItem.Name;

                    if (i1 == "<<The Folder Name>>")
                    {
                        projectItem.ProjectItems.AddFromFile(@"<< File to Copy path>>");
                    }
                }

}

The file gets copied under the project , but when  I open the project in VS the file is not included in the VS project. I need the file to be included into the project too.
