Question

Everytime I start a project I have to think carefully about which files to exclude from source control. Has someone made a list of the criteria so I can look it up from the beginning? I work on my own so I have not got round to it.
I appreciate that in the case of a DLL, you would want to include some and exclude others, so it is not just dependent on the file extension.
My projects are ASP.Net, although a general discussion of other templates would also be useful.
