'Newly Added File' and VSS

Friday, September 26, 2003

So, we have a handful of files in our project that we do not want to check into VSS. We see this pretty little red check next to them stating 'Newly Added File' and, every time we do a project check in, we have to make sure we unselect these files.

To disassociate these files with VSS, we did:

File > Source Control > Exclude (filename) From Source Control

And now we are good. Many thanks to Ivan Towlson at White Carbon for the tip!

Couldn't you just exclude them from the project in the VS.NET solution IDE? I think that eliminates them from being checked in.

I tried this 1st, however the IDE kept locking up on me.
