I'm considering using ViceVersa Pro for creating backup of Visual Studio C# solutions (projects, source files) but without the binaries that are generated during compilation.

I'm familiar with the modern way of doing software development using git, but sometimes file backups is a better solution.

Anyone already created a file/folder filter for this purpose? Willing to share?

Kind regards,
Michael

Hi, we use ViceVersa PRO to backup C++ projects. We exclude :

*.obj - object code

*.pdb - program debug databse file

*.bsc - source browser database

*.ilk - incremental linker file

*.sbr - source browser intermediate file

*.idb - rebuild dependency file

*.lib - library file

*.exe - executable

I appreciate the feedback, thanks!

Looking for similar for C# and IDE Visual Studio I stumbled over the gitignore repository at github.com. I can't include link here, but search for gitignore and it should appear.

It seem "they" have included most of what you use, except for a few they have left out, and an addition of a bunch more.

The corresponding gitignore file for C# development using Visual Studio is much more involved, including by example a bunch of folders with letters that can be spelled with capital or lower case letters etc.

By example part of the "Build results" section use:
Code:
# Build results
[Dd]ebug/
[Dd]ebugPublic/
[Rr]elease/
[Rr]eleases/
x64/
x86/
[Ww][Ii][Nn]32/


And there are also some sections that that doesn't look trivial to translate into ViceVersa settings:

Code:
# Visual Studio 2017 auto generated files
Generated\ Files/

# MSTest test Results
[Tt]est[Rr]esult*/
[Bb]uild[Ll]og.*


How can I "translate" above gitignore syntax to ViceVersa filtering?

Feature idea? Import gitignore files?

Kind regards,
Michael

Hi, thanks, I think these are Regex filters, they should be able to be used in ViceVersa as well using the <r> prefix. See Filter Syntax in help. I will test them.
