suo file, what is this ?

Question

 Visual studio seems to generate this file, is it just a binary version of the sln  file?

 I was just wondering if we need to add this file to our CM (version control ) system ..

 

Answer 1

Hi,

NO, do not add it to your CM system.

The .suo files contain user dependant information, like the state of the solution explorer (collaps all nodes, close the solution, delete the file and  you'll notice that the nodes in the solution explorer are expanded again).

I am sure that .suo files also contains breakpoints infomation. 
Is there any other info in .suo files?

Answer 3

User tasks are also stored in the .suo file, along with all of the user's individual customizations.
