KillAllBindings is a tool that removes TFS source control bindings from a project written in C#.
This was written specifically for use when migrating source code from TFS to another SCM. If these bindings are left in the solution files, Visual Studio will try to connect to your TFS server again. This can cause issues.
I wrote this in preparation for a migration from TFS to Stash (commercial version of Git) but it should work regardless of what SCM you're moving to.
This has been tested on VS2010 and VS2013 solution files.
KillAllBindings only does a few things.
- Remove read only flags from ALL files in your project.
- Delete .vssscc & vspscc files.
- Remove source code bindings section from solution files (if present).
If you do not wish to download the source and build it yourself, you can download the latest executable from here: http://chasberndt.com/kab/latest/
KillAllBindings.exe C:\source\code\path\
First and most importantly, this is the first thing I've ever written in C#. Regardless, I am not responsible for any and all issues that arise out of the use of this code.
Feel free to contribute to this project, submit bugs, fix bugs, whatever. I want this to be as useful as possible.
