Which files of a VB project under source control?

Robert Schneider

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
..vshost.exe
..sln
..maypp
..pdb
My Project.Resourc es.Designer.vb. dll
..resources
..vbproj.FileLi st.txt
..vbproj
..vb
..vbproj.user
..settings.
..xml

Thanks in advance,
Robert

Robert,
The "easiest" way to find out is to ask VS.NET.

Ensure you have Visual Source Safe integration installed. Create a Project.
Use 'File - Source Control - Add Solution to Source Control'. Look in VSS at
what files were added.

| I'm using subversion. But I guess this is not important for the issue.
Based on what files VS & VSS added to source control, add the same files to
subversion.

Hope this helps

Thanks Jay for the response.

I don't have VSS. I'm using VS2005 Beta2 and afaik it is not included.
I provided the list of file suffixes that occur in the project directory. Is
it possible that you or someone else mark the lines of the list somehow, so
I can see which files are the essential or the unimportant ones?

Thanks again,
Robert

Robert,
I'm using VS2005 beta 2 & it is included.

I installed it from the VS2005 DVD that ships with MSDN, its a separate
download from subscriber downloads. I've seen the DVD handy out at many an
MSDN event & local .NET user groups.

I have not looked at the public downloads, so I don't know if its there...

Have you tried asking in one of the VS.NET 2005 forums?

http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/

Unfortunately I don't have time to check all the project types &
permutations to give you a list I was comfortable with...

Hope this helps
Jay

DataSets and cs files

by: Rob Brown | last post by:

Is there a way to get the .NET framework to generate a cs file associated with a schema other than when the DataSet is modified? Since the cs file is automatically generated based on the schema, there is a discussion going on at work regarding whether this file should be placed under source control, or generated each time the projects are built. The issue is, we don't know if it's even possible to generate the cs file at build time...
