TFS 2008 Folder Comparison Filter for both C# and Delphi projects

Posted by jpluimers on 2009/05/25

When using TFS (Team Foundation System) 2008 as a Version Control / Source Code Management system not only for your C#, but also for Delphi projects, this is a good filter string when using the ‘Compare Folders‘ function of TFS:

!*.pdb;!*.obj;!*.dll;!*.exe;!*.res;!*.resources;!*.cache;!*.ilk;!*.ncb;!obj\;!objd\;!bin\;!lib\;!*.local;!*.identcache;!*.dcu;!__history\;!*.dsk;!*.~*;!*.stat;!*.drc

This is the regular Folder Comparison Filter – the bold above is the addition and the link contains an explanation of the filter syntax:

!*.pdb;!*.obj;!*.dll;!*.exe;!*.res;!*.resources;!*.cache;!*.ilk;!*.ncb;!obj\;!objd\;!bin\

Hope this helps some of you in reducing the amount of clutter in the resulting comparisons :-)
