Set Copy to Output folder by code

Question
I am developing a code generation tool, so the project files(.csprj) are created by code. Is there any way to mark a content file to be copied always to the output directory? ...
var project = new BuildEngine.Project();
project.Load(ProjectFile.FullName, ProjectLoadSettings.IgnoreMissingImports);
var buildItem = project.AddNewItem("Content", fileName);
... I need something like this buildItem.CopyToOutput=true
...
project.Save(ProjectFile.FullName);
Every ideas are welcome. Thank you.
Solution
Try
buildItem.SetMetadata("CopyToOutputDirectory", "Always");
OTHER TIPS
<Content Include="My.File">
<CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
</Content>
