VS 2005 I have a solution that contains files from two different folders that also exist in two seperate folders in SourceSafe. The vfproj file is in the same folder as one set of files and when I added files from the other folder it gave me a message about not being able to add this set to source control because they were in a different location than the root but also said that by changing bindings I could get it to work. I hit the help button on the dialog and clicked the "Don't show me this again" and when I looked at the help window it gave me a Topic not found window. So my question is how do I do this? Thanks, Drew
Hi Drew, It seems to me you're adding to a project a file that is on local disk outside of the bound root (The folder that is already bound to the scc database). The message you got is most likely a warning message - if you clicked continue, the file was added to the project but it doesn't have source control support. You can use File/SourceControl/ChangeSourceControl dialog to unbind and rebind the project to a folder in the VSS database that will be able to contain all the files in your project. -- Alin Constantin This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
