How to disconnect solution from source control on TFS

Asked 2010-07-20T13:56:52.600

I have a solution with solution folder and projects. Get the whole soure code from TFS in a local folder say c:\mycodes Then copy the folder c:\mycode to another folder c:\lab

In c:\lab, remove all source control file *.vssscc, *.vspscc, then open the solution in c:\lab again.

Part of the project disconnect from TFS, but part of the projects in this solution still connect to TFS and some *.vssscc, *.vspscc files recreated when open the solution. Then unbind all project from server, those projects still have *.vspscc files auto generated.

I want to a clean copy of the source code with no source control. How to resolve this problem?

I often need to take solutions or projects out of TFS source control to send to clients without and source control bindings left behind. I use a utility from CodePlex to acheive the job. PLease refer to my blog post "How to Permanently Remove TFS Source Control Bindings from Visual Studio Solutions (VS2012)" http://camerondwyer.wordpress.com/2012/11/07/how-to-permanently-remove-tfs-source-control-binding-from-visual-studio-solutions-vs2012/
