Problem with source control, web projects and the bin directory
Hi
I have a problem with web projects and source control. It appears that the bin directory is automatically added to source control. This is causes a problem whenever anyone compiles the solution as the same binaries are attempted to check in and of course someone has already checked out and locked the binary. I assume if a change is made to a binary it is automatically locked. Unfortunately even though I have deleted the bin directory from source control whenever the solution is compiled it tries to add the binary to source control again.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get around this.
Cheers

Hello, I have a similar problem.
We have a Web App with a lot of references, and every time we do Check In all the references try to Checkin. So we get 234 merging alerts...
An other problem is that when we set TFVC to Exclusive Checkouts, it doesn't get the last version on the server, so you'll get to merge anyway or click get specific version and select it every time marking "Force get of files already in the workspace" because get Lastest Version doesn't download all the files.
It seems to be a little awkward to use since some functionalities don't work as well as I expected. I tried to exclude a file (I haven't any option to exclude a dir, so I assume I'll have to exclude file per file), but it tries to reinclude it in the next Checkin so I'm confused now :)
Anyone that could give me a hand with that ?
Thanks in advance.
Lorenzo.
PD: How could I exclude for ever all the references I have in my solution?
