Re: How to get the whole project on my local PC to VSS existing project (all files at once)?
You have 2 solutions: Both assume you have version 1 labeled:
Solution #1:
-----------------
This solution loses everything after your version 2 (the changes your
client doesn't have the resources to test).
- Revert your VSS code to version one, losing anything after that.
- Set its working folder to an empty folder on your local drive.
- Check out version 1 to that folder (or you can do a checkout without
getting latest).
- Delete the files locally that you just checked out.
- Copy your new code into that local folder (even if they're already
local... just copy them over).
- Check them into VSS.
- Label your project in VSS as v2x or v3 or whatever....
- Change your working folder back to the proper local folder and
delete your temporary, local folder you made for this process.
Solution #2:
-----------------
This solution keeps your V2.
- Duplicate your project (or share and branch). Rename the original
to reflect that it is a dead end, so to speak.
- Using your new copy, apply Solution #1.
Note that if your solution references projects in other folders,
outside of your main project folder, there could be some problems when
you get it out of VSS. Everything will be there, but sometimes Visual
Studio is unhappy. You can putz around and fix the references.
Hope that helps!
