.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / March 2006VISUAL STUDIO.NET 2005. Exlude a file from project
Hi, If you right click one of the file within a project, and select from the context menu "Exclude from project', visual studio will rename the file to File_Name.File_Extension.exclude. Example: image1.jpg becomes image1.jpg.exclude I cannot believe Microsoft is actually doing that? Renaming the file? The exluded file in my example is no longer a .jpg. Am I missing something? This must be a bug but I just can't believe it If you are talking about asp.net projects, then you are right... MS in its eternal wisdon thought this was an ok thing to do (also you cannot exclude a file from source control). There is hope, you can use Web Application Projects ( http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=57541 ) and get most of the asp.net project brains back... > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Am I missing something? This must be a bug but I just can't believe it Or you might just change it back later. Actually I think "renaming when a file is taken out of a project" is a right thing to do because otherwise some dxxb user might ask "why I still be able to see the file after I exclude it from the project?" They just doing it in a wrong way by changing the extension. The should have named it "filename_excluded.ext", so you know what file has been excluded and you can still view the file if you want.

As long as the file remains in the directory of the web solution, the file will be considered as included in the project. There is no such thing as a web project as of vs2005 (with the exception of the Web Application Projects extension), so there is no such thing as excluding the file and then renaming back to the original name without including it again. No, there IS a difference. For example, if you taken a file out of project, the "Copy Project" button on the solution panel won't copy that file to the new location. Similar things happen when you try to add the project to the source safe. Although you can still view to file on the local web server, the excluded file is no longer considered as part of the project when you attempt to do any action targeted to "the project".

For your coment: Actually I think "renaming when a file is taken out of a project" is a right We have a "build.props" file for our NANT script. This prop is different for every developer because they all have a different working directory on their machine. We do not want to include this file in the solution but it needs to be at the root of the project. Now if you rename it to .exclude, NANT will give you a compilation error that builds.prop doesn't exists. So it's not a good idea to rename....it's a catch 22 They should create a .exclude file that list all the files to be excluded.......not renaming the actual file Also you rename an image for an example.....How can a browser know a .exclude is a jpg for example?
