Group files in Visual Studio

by

In your project file : 

<Compile Include="FileA.cs"/>
<Compile Include="FileA.xml">
  <DependentUpon>FileA.cs</DependentUpon>
</Compile>

Or you could use Group Items command of VSCommands 2010 extension.

Edit: Just in case your file is in a folder, don’t include the folder name in DependentUpon tag. For example if your file is in Helpers folder:

<Compile Include="Helpers\FileA.cs"/>
<Compile Include="Helpers\FileA.xml">
  <DependentUpon>FileA.cs</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
