There are those times, however rare when you want to remove the source control bindings for TFS from a project/solution. I ran into this myself not long ago and found the answer ( likely on StackOverFlow .. where we all live-and-breath some days, right?) so I wanted to share it here.
In Visual Studio you would go to:
- File -> Source Control -> Change Source Control and then unbind/disconnect all projects and the solution.
That right there will remove all the bindings from the solutions and project files. There is one more additional step that wraps this up quite nicely and it’s the part that I was missing.
Still in Visual Studio go to:
- Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Plug-in Selection and set that option to ‘none’ as shown in the following screenshot.
And that should do it! No this does not automagically remove the ‘vssscc’ files so those will still be scattered about and you’ll have to handle their removal manually.
But at this point you should be happily disconnected from TFS, free to gallop about into other realms of source control options.
Enjoy!
