Major problems using TFS source control from VS 2005   
Hi;

I finally have VS 2005 talking to TFS and am hitting a bunch of
problems:

1) VS 2005 throws an exception & exits when starting up about half the
time now. Doing more than 2 or 3 things touching source control causes
it to exit.

2) The pending check-ins window shows files from other solutions in
it, not just the solution I am in.

3) The pending check-ins window does not show a file I edited. The VS
2008 viewer also does not show a file I edited in VS 2005 as being
checked out - but a compare does show it as being different from what
is checked in.

Help please.

thanks - dave

Hello Dave,

Would you please check whether the SP1 of Visual Studio 2005 got installed? 
If the SP1 has been setup, please let us know the "exception" you see when 
Visual Studio crashes. This information is very essential for our 
trouble-shooting. In addition, is there any error log in the System Event 
Viewer?

>2) The pending check-ins window shows files from other solutions
>in it, not just the solution I am in.
We can filter the current solution with the button "Filter by solution" in 
the check-in dialog. That allows limiting files by solution.

>3) The pending check-ins window does not show a file I edited. 
> The VS 2008 viewer also does not show a file I edited in VS 2005

Because neither vs2005, nor vs2008 sees the change of the file, I wonder 
whether the file was once edited offline? For example, the file was once 
disconnected/unbound from the source control, or, the file was set to 
writable in windows explorer without checking out? If that's the case, we 
need to get the latest version from the server by "Get specific version", 
check it out, and replace its content with our new edition, then check it 
in.

Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.

Hi;

The problem is that VS 2005 just exits. No exception, no message -
just gone.

Re: Major problems using TFS source control from VS 2005   
What I did was edit it in VS 2005. When I did that it never asked me
if I wanted to check it out, it just let me edit it and save it.

It also does not give me an option to check the file out when I right
click on it.

Also, while it shows me all the files in the TFS source control
window, it will not give me the command to check them out there also.
It's like it's a read-only view of the files.

??? - thanks - dave

Is the "checkout to edit" or "get specific version" disabled(grayed) or 
disappeared in the context menu? If the item is disabled, please check 
whether the user has the proper permission to check out the files.

Based on my tests, I see this symptom when the file was once edited offline 
(disconnected/unbound from the source control), or when I once changed the 
file's read-only property to false in Windows Explorer. Is it the case on 
your side?
