SVN Ignore issues

Question

I have searched google and tried a bunch of the suggestions but I can't seem to ignore subfolders.

Amongst other entries, in my Ignores.txt file I have these folders that are not ignored (to include the contents of those folders):

bin
obj

All the other entries specified in Ignores.txt file are ignored.

The folder structure is:

DataService/obj/<bunch of files and folders>
DataService/bin/<bunch of files and folders>

Can somebody tell me what the heck I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Answer 1

There must have been something wrong with the Ignore.txt file. After I deleted the file, recreated and set the prop again, it worked.

Answer 2

Ignore will not take effect if you have already checked in your bin and obj folders. If you have, I believe you will have to add them to the ignores list and then delete the folders using Subversion's delete functionality (i.e. not simply the operating systems delete
