Correct. That's why I said add the folders first. Of course, in the commit dialog you can right click on any folders that you don't have the property on an add it.

Well sure. ADD only adds non-versioned files. But, you don't have to click on EVERY file. Just click on the folder that they are in and add the *.exe (or whatever) ignore.

I guess so. In visual studio all these files are put into a obj and bin folder. I have just ignored those folders... which ignores all their contents.

As said above. The easy way is to add the property to the root folder of your WC and tell TSVN to apply it recursively. Or, just apply it to the folder where these files will occur.
