Which files to check in?

Hi Guys,

When I create an ASP.NET web app, which files do I need to check into
my version control? I assume that the "bin" directory is skipped, but
I'm not sure about the hidden directories (_vti_cnf, _vti_pvt,
_vti_script, and _vti_txt). What are these things, and which of their
contents do I have to check in?

NOTE: I know at least some of the hidden dirs' files have to be kept,
because trashing them caused problems in opening the project. However,
I don't want to cause problems with checking in files that will later
be generated.

Thanks,

Ed,

The vti_cnf, _vti_pvt, _vti_script, and _vti_txt folders are hidden
FrotnPage extensions folders. They should not be checked in. When you have a
project/solution that hasn't been added to source control yet, you can ask
VS .NET to add it to source control. This way you'll get all the required
files checked in.

Hi

No need to check-in the hidden directories (_vti_cnf,
_vti_pvt, _vti_script, and _vti_txt)

I'm using subversion. But I guess this is not important for the issue. So which files of a VB project should be (at least) under source control? Or which ones definitly not? I know from VB6 projects that there are a lot of unimportant files (vbw, exe, obj, ...) . But I don't know which of the VB-VS2005 files are similar. So can anyone give me some hints please? So far I have the following files: ..resx ..exe

If the files are created this month then it...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
