If your .tfignore file is in the solution root folder, adding a \Dist to it will make TFS ignore the Dist folder only inside the root folder. For instance, if you create a Dist folder inside a subfolder (e.g any of the projects folder in the solution), it won't work.

In that case, you need to use just Dist rather than \Dist, then rule will aply to the .tfignore root folder and all its subfolders.

This only apply to folders.
