How can I exclude the bin folder from sourcesafe in a Visual Studio 2008 web application?

Question

How can I exclude the bin folder from SourceSafe in a Visual Studio 2008 web application? I want to be able to check in everything recursively from the solution node without picking up anything in the bin folder.

Answer 1

Exclude the folder from your project.

Answer 2

• Right-click the folder in your project
• select "Exclude from project"

Answer 3

You can hide the folder through Windows explorer, although it'll disappear from your Visual Studio Solution Exporer, I don't think that'll affect the website.

Answer 4

Was this solved? I'm not sure why Excluding the folder from the project got a downvote. VSS only maps files and folders that are in a project for source control, so that solution should work.
