TF.EXE command excluding executable (*.DLL) files

Question

I'm using the TF.EXE utility to automatically move some build output into TFS as part of our automated build process.

Here's the command line:

tf.exe add C:\Output\*.* /recursive /noprompt
tf.exe checkin C:\Output\*.* /recursive /noprompt

It all works great, apart from the wrinkle that one of the output files has the .dll extension. Initially this file gets picked up as you'd expect, and then towards the end it prints this helpful message:

Items matching the following exclusions were ignored: *.dll

Answer 1

I found the solution was to include the /noignore switch on the add command, like so:

tf.exe add C:\Output\*.* /recursive /noignore /noprompt
