I'm trying to do an initial code check-in with Team Foundation Server through Visual Studio. After trying to check in once, I got a few errors back. These errors were on ReSharper files. Since I don't need to check these in, obviously, I am now trying to exclude them. But I can't seem to get them out of my pending changes without doing "Undo Pending Changes" on each ReSharper folder. Since there is a number of these, and I'd probably have to do it on every check-in, I was hoping there was an easier way to ignore these files going forward (similar to git's ignoring features).

How can I ignore all of these ReSharper folders and files within them for all future check-ins?

Assuming you are also on TFS 2012, you might want to check out the .tfignore file. Similar to a .gitignore file, you can specify file and folder patterns to ignore.

Edit to answer question in comment:

You can create this file yourself (just a text file named .tfignore), and place it in any directory where you want the rules to apply. The rules are applied recursively to subdirectories, but you can place additional .tfignore files in subdirectories to have more fine grained control.

An additional hint for creating the file in Windows Explorer: right-click and choose New > Text File. Name the file .tfignore. (notice the trailing dot). The trailing dot is automatically removed and you end up with the correct file name.
