Which files of a VB project under source control?

I'm using subversion. But I guess this is not important for the issue.
So which files of a VB project should be (at least) under source control Or which ones definitly not I know from VB6 projects that there are a lot of unimportant files (vbw, exe, obj,  ...) . But I don't know which of the VB-VS2005 files are similar. So can anyone give me some hints please

Thanks in advance,
Rober

Which files of a VB project under source control?

    Thanks, that was helpful.

    I have looked into the file xxx.vbproj.FileList.txt. It is just a short list of (some of) the files that are in the bin and obj folders. It is within the obj folder. I also don't know why I do have this. But I guess it is not important since it is placed in the obj folder.

    Thanks Alfredo

    In VB6, vbw files are auto-generated if they do not exist. I'm looking into removing those from source control, as they are always being flagged by Subversion as changed if I even open the project (saving the project is not necessary for vbw to change).

    The following files normally do not go into source control:

    * Anything under the Bin\ and Obj\ directories (unless you want to maintain a history of binaries)
    *  .suo file
    * .user files

    All other files are required for building the project.

    From the list you have I'm not sure where the "FileList.txt" came from, though...

    No ideas I thought this would be a simple question.

    I have such files:

    .resx
    .exe
    .vshost.exe
    .sln
    .maypp
    .pdb
    My Project.Resources.Designer.vb.dll
    .resources
    .vbproj.FileList.txt
    .vbproj
    .vb
    .vbproj.user
    .settings.
    .xml (from the source code comments)

    Which ones could be essential for version control

    Or, are there any resources about the project files that I could read
