Move the hidden *.cs (excluded files) from the project folder/subfolder to the backup folder

[moh-hassan]

In vs 2017 I can exclude CSharp file e.g class1.cs in the project from within the DropDown menu in the solution explorer by clicking the option 'Exclude from Project'.

Visual studio hide the file from the solution explorer and remove its entry(node) in cspro:.

         <Compile Include="Class1.cs" />  <!-- this node will be removed -->

and compilation and build are OK.

I can see these hidden files by pressing 'show all files' icon.

When I migrate the project, these hidden files become again part of the the project (although i excluded it, but not deleting it from the folder) and cause many problems(If i discover it :).

My work around is: Before migration 1) Click 'show all files' 2) Delete all the hidden cs files . 3) Migrate

It's nice if the migration tool can manage these hidden files in the old style project and move it to the backup folder with info message.

I lost hours to discover a problem in the project after migration and find the problem was the hidden files.

What version did you use for this? This was reported in #190 which should be part of the latest version (3.0.2).

The only case in which it doesn't work is if you were using wildcards before.

Thanks for reply. I use dotnet-migrate-2017.exe net461 v3.0.1 I will try using v3.0.2 and feedback. Note: The excluded files have no Compile Remove node:

       <Compile Remove="file.cs" />  <!-- not included in csproj -->

v3.0.2 is not includedin the release

I just updated it, that's the only manual step in the release process so that's sometimes forgotten...

Great. :) v3.0.2 remove the hidden files. I find Compile Remove node in csproj for the hidden files.

These are the files which are removed:

    <ItemGroup>
        <Compile Remove="Class2.cs" />
        <Compile Remove="xyzclass.cs" />
        <Compile Remove="bin\Debug\aa.cs" />
        <Compile Remove="obj\Debug\TemporaryGeneratedFile_036C0B5B-1481-4323-8D20-8F5ADCB23D92.cs" />
        <Compile Remove="obj\Debug\TemporaryGeneratedFile_5937a670-0e60-4077-877b-f7221da3dda1.cs" />
        <Compile Remove="obj\Debug\TemporaryGeneratedFile_E7A71F73-0F8D-4B9B-B56E-8E70B10BC5D3.cs" />
      </ItemGroup>

Just a suggestion:

• Display info for these hidden (Remove) files.
• Exclude bin and obj folder by default.

Thanks for help and support
