Why does vwd.webinfo always get automatically checked out from source control?

Question

We have a 2008 solution that has a file system website as part of the solution. This solution is under source control with Team Foundation Server. Every time the solution is closed it either checks out a file called vwd.webinfo or attempts to and complains that someone else already has it checked out.

Removing the file from source control does not fix the issue because it gets re-added automatically for some reason.

Why does this happen and is there something we can do about it to remove this nag?

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

1. open "source control explorer"
2. find vwd.webinfo in the correct path
3. click "delete"
4. chek-in the operation to solve this problem

The file will still be in your file system and solution, but not under source-control. You won't see "plus" or "v" or "lock" button
