Our projects are typically stored as single projects, and are not part of a larger solution. When I open a project, Visual studio creates a solution (sln) and soution options (suo) file in my folder. I want to stop this automatic sln and suo creation, Does anybody know how to go about doing this?
EDIT: We have several dozen individual projects, and when I do a compare to source control to find the items that need to be added/checked in, these 2 are always crapping up the list for each project.
I usually just un-check "Create directory for solution" so that it puts the SLN file in the same folder, and then I delete them by hand the first time I close the project. VS won't recreate them unless you do something solution-worthy (add a second project, for example).
There's no native way to avoid generating them.
