I want to exclude some of the files in code folders from TFS 2012 source control.
Before VS2012 this was done by the "Exclude from source control" command available in "Source Control Explorer"s right-click menu. But in VS2012 I can not find it.
Does anybody know where it is ?
(I am using a "Local" workspace by the way.)

This means that the compiler will not process it. We can right click on the file, choose properties, go to General and click on Excluded From Build, then choose Yes or No to exclude or re-include.
You can use the exclude folder option to remove unwanted folders like node_modules or others you don't want to open in Visual Studio Code. To exclude a folder, go to File > Preferences, and search for file. exclude in the search settings. You can add the pattern of the folder you don't want Visual Studio Code to open.
When you click on "Detected Changes" in the Team Explorer pane, "Promote Candidate Changes" window opens. This window allows you to select among detected changes and promote them to a source controlled item.
In this "Promote Candidate Changes" window, you select a file (or multi select files with Shift), right-click on it and a context menu pops up which contains an "ignore this local item" option. If you you click on it, selected files are excluded from source control.
Visual Studio adds a file named ".tfignore" to the source control mapping root, which contains names of all files to be ignored by source control. (Previous TFS versions did not produce this file but they were all server workspaces. Since this is a "Local" workspace, filenames to be ignores need to be kept in the workspace)
