svn:ignore for Visual Studio

Similar to other source control systems, you can add an ignore list of files that should not be under source control. In subversion, this is the svn:ignore property. If you are using Visual Studio and the VisualSVN plugin, this can be achieved in the following way:

• Right-click the solution > VisualSVN > Properties...
• Click on New... > Advanced
• In the Property name drop-down select svn:ignore
• In the Property value text box put the list of expressions you want to ignore, separated by the space character.

Here is an example (work in progress, probably this will have the same content as my .gitignore):

*.suo

*.user

*.dbmdl

*.resharper

aspnet_client

thumbs.db

bin

Bin

obj

Obj

TestResults

debug

Debug

release

Release

You'll end up with something like this (TortoiseSVN):
