Visual Studio 2017 Team Fundation Server(TFS) automatic add to source control not working

I usually get this problem with my visual studio TFS.

When I add a new item (*.cs, *.js...), it does not add to the source control automatically. But the *.csproj file does include the file.

I am sure that I did not change any related settings.

I solved it by modifying the local config file LocalItemExclusions.config, because there is *.lib in my solution's name, it will be excluded.

When I deleted this line <Exclusion>*.lib</Exclusion> in the config file, it worked (or you can change the namestyle to avoid it).

Double check if there are folders and branches called Release in your soucre control and their contents is automatically excluded from TFS (along with Debug and lots of file types). You can override this for particular folders by creating a .tfignore file.

More details about the solution please refer this similar question: Visual Studio 2015 new files not being added to source control automatically

If above is not working, check if you source control binding is correctly. File > Source Control > Advanced > Change Source Control.

If not, bind the solution and project to your source control server (unbind first if it's already bound).
