What are the files that needs to be check in VSS for better handling of files when we do development. There are many file types and are stored and updated internally for each developer based on their own settings. So in other words these files doesn’t need to be part of Source control system. Here are the list of file types that we might need to look in as developer

You can add the following files to Visual Studio source control:

• Solution files (*.sln).

• Project files, for example, *.csproj, *.vbproj files.

• Application configuration files, based on XML, used to control run-time behavior of a Visual Studio project.

But the Files that you cannot add to source control include the following:

• Solution user option files (*.suo).

• Project user option files, for example, *.csproj.user, *.vbproj.user files.

• Web information files, for example, *.csproj.webinfo, *.vbproj.webinfo, that control the virtual root location of a Web project.

• Build output files, for example, *.dll and *.exe files.
