Excluding files from project issue. Has it been resolve in Visual Studio 11??

Question

Hello

In version of Visual Studio 11 will it resolve the issues of excluding files from a project?  As soon as I do this , the excluded files in Visual Studio 2010 will get flagged as candidates for deletion in the pending changes window.  This seems to be a known issue from Microsoft (see links below), and from what I've gather reading, the only know workaround is to manually edit the project file to remove this entry.

Is there any other way around this?

 So is this fix in this version of Visual Studio or do I have to upgrade to 2012 version?

Answer 1

VSS does not say it supports VS 11 or VS 2012 RC now, so yes, based on the two links, this is a TFS related thread. I will help to move it to TFS Version Control forum.

And from the connect record, it said "we fixed in VS 11 Beta", did you try it with latest TFS version and least VS? Download from: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/11/en-us/downloads

Thanks Bob for moving it to TFS forum.

Hi AnthonyL25,

I have checked that this issue is fixed in both VS2012 RC and VS11 Beta product. And if you still have anything unclear, welcome back.

Thanks.
