In VS 2005 if you exclude files from a project, it actually renames the
file to filename.exclude. In previous versions, it just left the file
alone but excluded it. If you have a very large ASP.net web site you
may have thousands of images. In our case we have millions because the
nature of the site is that users upload their photo albums to share
with other users. I NEVER want the IDE to enumerate these files for
any reason, including loading them into the solution explorer tree. If
I exclude them, the IDE will enumerate them as it renames them, taking
forever, and breaking the website.
The real problem is that I need to do a global replace for a string
that may be in the .aspx file or in the .aspx.vb file depending on the
page. The website only has about 100 different pages. When I do a
find with the search scope set to 'Current Project' it gets every file
from the web. This is the massage in the status bar.
Getting the file '9897686.jpg' from the web...
IMHO, an exclude should not rename any files and a find or replace
should be able to not try to access inappropriate files.
The question, finally, is are there any workarounds for this behavior?
