Author Removing a project from Source Control

Hello

How do I remove a project from source control? I have an installer project
that I added to Source control, and I really didn't need to. I've deleted
the project from SourceSafe, and removed the source control files from the
project directory. Now I get an error from VS.NET that says.

"The solution appears to be under source control, but its binding
information cannot be found. ...... The project will be treated as not under
source control"

Which is great because I don't want it under source control. How do I get
rid of that error message?

Thanks for the help.

Hi John,

The easiest way to remove a project from source control is to unbind it.
You can do this in ChangeSourceControl dialog:

1. Open your project/solution from disk
2. File->Source Control->Change Source Control...
3. Change Source Control dialog pops up
4. Select the project you want and click the "Unbind" button
5. Click OK to dismiss the dialog
6. Now you should not see no more source control glyphs and the project
should not be under scc
