RE: Source Safe Visual Studio bindings incorrect after Share and Branc

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hello QSIDeveloper,

According to your description, you found an issue that the solution still
binds to the original SS project tree after you performed a Share/Branch on
it. If I misunderstood anything here, please don't hesitate to correct me.

How do you open the solution in VS 2005? If you open it by
"File|Open|Project|SourceSafe", I believe you must have gotten a dialog as
below:
"You opened a project or solution from a location that doens not machtch
its original server binding. The project or solution may have been branched
in your source control store..."

The binding information is stored in .sln file. VSS doesn't know about it.
Therefore, after you share/branch the project, the binding information
which is stored in .sln file doesn't change. It still indicates to the
original SS project tree. This is the reason why you face the issue that
project binds to the "wrong" SS project.

To resolve this issue, you would have to re-bind your solution after
sharing/Brach it in VSS. You can re-bind the project to CORRECT VSS project
tree by "File|SourceControl|Change SourceControl".

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more concern. We are glad to
assist you.

Have a great day,
Best regards,

Wen Yuan
