LightSwitch project: Which files to check in, and which to ignore?

Question

In a LightSwitch application, what files and folders should I ignore and not keep in source control?

(I'm using Git, and I'm wondering what to put in the .gitignore file.)

Answer 1

From my article on this very question (includes some extra's for DevExpress and so on):

*.lsproj.user
ServiceConfiguration.cscfg
*/_Pvt_Extensions/*
*/GeneratedArtifacts/*
*.csproj.user
*.vbproj.user
*/[Oo]bj/*
*/[Bb]in/*
*.suo
*DXCore.Solution
[Tt]humbs.db 
*.user
*.bak.* 
*.bak 
*.[Cc]ache
*/[Pp]ublish/*
*.vssscc
*.vs10x
*/[Dd]otfuscated/*
[Dd]otfuscated/*
*.vsp
[Nn][Dd]epend[Oo]ut/*
*.licx
*.docstates
*.cscfg
*.csdef

Answer 2

I believe this is a comprehensive list of what isn't needed in source control.

_Pvt_Extensions\
bin\Debug
bin\Release
Client\bin
Client\obj
ClientGenerated\bin
ClientGenerated\obj
Common\bin
Common\obj
Server\bin
Server\obj
ServerGenerated\bin
ServerGenerated\obj

Not sure about git ignore syntax but in Mercurial my .hgignore contains:

*/[Oo]bj/*  
*/[Bb]in/*  
*.suo  
*.lsproj.user  
*/_Pvt_Extensions/*  
*/GeneratedArtifacts/*
