Exclude Folders In asp.net Web Site

.:takis:. · Post by **.:takis:.** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 3:59 am

Hi,

I'm using Vault version 3.5.0 (4741), and i'm currently facing an odd problem. I have a solution with 5 projects (class libraries), and 2 web sites. I don't want any dlls or pdbs uploaded to the server (it's on the net), so i excluded the specific file types, and also any folders named 'bin', 'debug', 'release' etc.
When i bind the solution to the Vault, the class libraries behave ok (the bin/debug folders are excluded from checkin in-outs) but the web projects add all of the dll and pdb files that resist in the /bin folder.

I tried to make a brand new asp.net web site, and add the references one by one. In this case the thing worked better (the dlls are no more source-controlled), but the pdbs still "want" to be checked in.

Is this a bug , or there is a workaround (i guess it IS a bug, but any suggestions would be appreciated.)

Thanks in advance

What version of Visual Studio are you using with this?

I believe this behavior is seen with Visual Studio with source control where it always wants to add pdb files for web projects. Visual Studio controls what is added rather than the Source Control package. I'm searching for more information on that now.

This item and possible work-arounds were discussed in the Microsoft forum here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPo ... 9&SiteID=1

Thanks
Beth

Everything i've read till now, (via the proposed link) is related to the VSS. I thought these problems where MS VSS specific, so i switched to Vault, to avoid silly bugs.
Is every VSS bug a Vault bug also? How could this be?
Is it the same product, under another name, and with sql support?

Thanks in advance!

Although the posts talk specifically about VSS, this behavior is in fact controlled by Visual Studio. So all MSSCCI plugins will suffer from the same symptoms, regardless if it is Vault or some other plugin.

In essence, MSSCCI is an API for things like - File Status, Add, Checkin, History, etc. The Vault plugin supplies the "how to" for Adding, Checking out, Checking in, etc. VS.Net determines the "what". So VS.Net controls the contents for added files/folders, check outs, check ins, etc.
