I'd like to be able to toggle the "Exclude from build" option for a file, without having to go through Right-Click|Properties.

Is there any way to assign this to a button?

Do you mean "Exclude From Project"? I see that in my context menu when I right click an item.

No, that removes the file from the project, I want to remove it from the build. See (on a file) Right-click|Properties|General|Excluded from build

I think he's saying setting the Build Action to "None".

I don't know that there is a way to do this without creating a VSIP. The only real way to do it is to edit the .csproj or .vbproj file and set the <buildaction> to none. You may want to look through the MSBuild documentation but I'm guessing that making a VSIP is more trouble than opening the properties window and setting the property.
