Why does vwd.webinfo always get automatically checked out from source control?

Question

We have a 2008 solution that has a file system website as part of the solution. This solution is under source control with Team Foundation Server. Every time the solution is closed it either checks out a file called vwd.webinfo or attempts to and complains that someone else already has it checked out.

Removing the file from source control does not fix the issue because it gets re-added automatically for some reason.

Why does this happen and is there something we can do about it to remove this nag?

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

I'd like an answer to this too, if anyone has any answers!

Answer 2

You should be able to delete this file manually and have it not reappear. This file holds some information that used to be located elsewhere in the project in earlier versions but apparently is not necessary. Close your solution before deleting the file from source control and on the disk.
