A file that was part of a project that is no longer being used.

Is there any way to remove a file from a VSS project as part of the current
configuration but leave it there so that you can get it with older versions
of the software.

So I had file a.cs which I have now replaced with b.cs and c.cs. I want to
not include a.cs anymore in the VS project and also not have it as part of
my builds in VSS (the real concern is when I go to create a label for the
'current' versions, I don't want this included.)

Any thoughts?

TIA - Jeff.

Use source control. You can then pin the older version so you can pull it
out, if you need to bug fix. In the new version, you simply dump the file.

I don't understand what you mean by 'pin' the older version. What I really
want to do is have the file in VSS as part of my older labels but not part
of the new/current ones.

I believe that setting the "Build Action" property of the source file to
"None" may do what you are looking for in the scenario.

Here is an MSDN article on pinning:

I don't currently use SourceSafe, but I believe there is a pin to label
feature in the product.
