If you are asking how to add them to your project, you can map the Layouts folder by right clicking on your project and selecting Add, SharePoint "Layouts" Mapped Folder. That should create a folder with the same name as your project. Anything that you add will be available globally in the /_layouts// folder.

It is also possible to map to the SharePoint "Images" folder which can be used for /_layouts/images.

  • I am creating a web part to be deployed on multiple servers, so I am not sure if mapping the Layouts folder will automatically map the folders on all servers.

  • Yes, that is the point. It will place the items in the appropriate folder of any servers it is activated on. This is the supported, best practice way to deploy those items.

    @Nitesh Please note that Mike's suggestion is how to link to a script and not embed.
