Visual Studio 2003

I have just purchased Vault and use a VS solution with several projects included.
When I select "Add selected projects to source control" from VS/File/SourceControl everything works except that it includes the files that are supposed to be excluded as per the Vault admin/repository options/file exclusions.

Am I doing something wrong?

What is the best practice for adding VS 2003 solutions and projects?

Thank you,
Tim

The exclusion list is really only for the GUI client. Visual Studio decides for itself which files should be included and which should not. Sorry for the confusion...

Is it better to add the files via the VaultClient and then select open from source control in VS?

If you plan to use Vault integrated with VS, then it is better to add files from within the IDE, because it knows which files it expects to be under source control. If they are not there, it will cause a lot of problems. And, if there are files it doesn't need under source control, there usually isn't a good reason to force them in.
