How can I always block checkin of a specific file in TFS

Question

There is one file that I always made changes to, but that I never want to be checked in. I would like TFS to block me from ever checking it in or committing the changes. H

Answer 1

For TFS 2012, just use the .tfignore file.

When you add ignored files to folders that are mapped in a local workspace, they do not appear in the Pending Changes page in Team Explorer.
