I have existing VB.Net 2005 projects I'm wanting to add to VSS 2005. All myt projects have been built to put solution file seperate from project. My project is at: c:\vbsource\projecta and looks like this roughly: c:\vbsource\app1\projecta c:\vbsource\app1\projecta\projecta.sln c:\vbsource\app1\projecta\projecta c:\vbsource\app1\projecta\projecta\test.vb c:\vbsource\app1\projecta\projecta\test2.vb c:\vbsource\app1\projecta\My Project c:\vbsource\app1\projecta\My Project\settings.vb c:\vbsource\app1\projecta\My Project\assemblyinfo.vb We have a lot of 'app1' projects and 'app2', 'app3', common. My VSS Structure has project nodes prebuilt $/ $/vbsource $/vbsource/app1 $/vbsource/app2 $/vbsource/app3 $/vbsource/common/common When I invoke VS2005 and load projecta it loads fine. When I add solution to sourcesafe it builds this structure: $/ $/vbsource $/vbsource/app1 $/vbsource/app1/projecta $/vbsource/app1/projecta/projecta $/vbsource/app1/projecta/projecta/projecta.sln $/vbsource/app1/projecta/projecta/projecta $/vbsource/app1/projecta/projecta/projecta/test.vb $/vbsource/app1/projecta/projecta/projecta/test2.vb $/vbsource/app1/projecta/projecta/My Project $/vbsource/app1/projecta/projecta/My Project/settings.vb $/vbsource/app1/projecta/projecta/My Project/assemblyinfo.vb $/vbsource/app2 $/vbsource/app3 $/vbsource/common/common How do I 'lose' the added /projecta layer?
Hello dmartin, I'm afraid to say this behavior is by design. If the project is added into VSS by VS 2005 IDE, it will be saved as [SolutionName]/[ProjectName]/... (for example:projecta/projecta/...) My suggestion is that you may add existing project into VSS database by VSS Explorer. Have you tried it before? You may follow the steps as below: 1. Open Visual SourceSafe Explorer, and resize it so you have enough room to display Windows Explorer. 2. Open Windows Explorer, and resize it as needed. 3. Select the project folder in Windows Explorer. 4. Drag the selected folder onto a Visual SourceSafe project in Visual SourceSafe Explorer. 5. Check the "Recursive" checkbox in "Add Folder XXX" dialog. Hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know if you have any more. It's my pleasure to assist you.
