How do you set to ignore folders and all it's subdirectories in CVS?

It's getting pretty annoying when it commits every file in my \bin, \obj or \TestResult folders.

Tried *\TestResult in the ignore list to no avail

you can create a .cvsignore file in your directories. See here for details

In your case the .cvsignore of your project root would look like

bin
obj
TestResult

One cvsignore file per directory?

Do you know how to make more than one file with the same name in a directory? Seriously, yes. If you want to ignore something go to the directory its in and add the file to ignore to the .cvsignore in that directory.

@John Yes, one file per directory where there are files or directories to be ignored. Of course you do not need to put them in or below ignored directories. If there are filetypes or directories which should everywhere be ignored you can add them to one of the personal, repository or system cvsignore files.
