What files / folders need to be added to the source control?

Question

I need to know which files and folders must be added to the source control and which files / folders may be omitted.

I know that I can leave bin / and obj / with the .suo file as it depends on the user, but what about the rest of the tree?

FWIW, here is one project + one module:

               7 File(s)         14.987 bytes

Thank.
