Question

My project files are controlled by Perforce and I have installed the SCC plugin so that I can work directly with Perforce inside Visual Studio 2010.

Here is the problem I have:

Inside the project, there are several files that I don’t want to take into consideration while I build the project. If I use the context menu “Exclude from Project”, I saw the following warning message:

Checked out items cannot be deleted by your source control provider.
If you continue with the change, you may need to manually delete
xxx.‌h in the source control database.

Is there a workaround that I can use?

Thank you

If you simply do not want them to compile, select the code file and look at the Properties window. Set Build Action to content or some other non-compile setting.
