Can .dll files check-in to TFS Source Control?

  • Article

The answer is yes.

 

When creating a web project in Visual Studio .NET 2005, the bin folder gets exposed to TFS source control.

Normally, the bin folder is how the web project keeps track of the project references. When a project reference is added to the project, the .dll is copied to the bin directory.

In a source controlled environment, this copy is "noticed" by Visual Studio 2005 and exposed to the source control process. This means that you can check in all the .dlls added to the bin folder.

The Bin folder is not visible on the Source Control Window. So, when you checked in the .dll files, the files will be drop on the drop release folder.
