How can I exclude a specific file from TFS source control

We have multiple config files (app.DEV.config, app.TEST.config, etc) and a pre-build event that copies the correct config file to app.config. Obviously the configuration specific files are in source control --- but at the moment so is App.Config, and that shouldn't be.

How can I mark that one file as excluded from source control, but obviously not from the project.

I'm using VS 2005, and 2005 Team Explorer.

You can just simply select the file from your Source Control Explorer and Right Click on it, and the select the "Rename" option from there, and you can add ".exclude" at the end of the file name.

And then do remember to check-in the file, and after that you can see that your file is excluded from Source Control.
