Inconsistent Line Endings

(Running vault 3.1.8.3771 on server and clients.
Server running on Win Server 2003, db on SQL server 2000 sp4.
Visual Studio 2005.)

This has only started to occur recently - files randomly require checkout when opened as VS tells us that the files have inconsistent line endings. Is this a VS problem, or something to do with our vault setup?

Doesn't sound Vault related. What is the exact error/checkout message?

I'll let you know as soon as the next one appears.

Its not a vault dialog its VS complaining about the CR/LF ending of the lines, but I wondered what could be causing it - I haven't yet seen it happen on non-source controlled projects.

It's possible to override Native EOL Type with Vault. Maybe that's what VS is complaining about?

Check in VS 2005->Tools->Options->SourceControl->Plugin Settings->Advanced->Local Files->Override Native EOL Type. It probably should be set to Do not override.
