Hello Brian,

A developer and I are working on the issue you ran into with the file shared between multiple projects. We want to make sure we reproduce this correctly. Currently, I haven't been able to make the same situation happen.

Can you provide more details? Can you confirm that the layout with the shared files is the same in SOS 4.2 and that it worked for you that way?

Were the shares made in VSS or in SOS?

OK, I'm done with testing and here are the results.

With the exception of the "Response for No Message Sent!" message box coming up twice in succession there appears to be no difference between SOS 4.2.0 and 5.0.1. The message doesn't come up on the previous version of SOS. That's probably what prompted the developer to tell me there was issues....because of this difference. In addition, when you unbind the projects and then attempt to re-bind them, the one project that shares those couple of files gets the same message as follows:

Item2.jpg (39.73 KiB) Viewed 14518 times

Now I also did this with Visual SourceSafe 2005. When unbinding and re-binding the project with the shared files the following message is given:

Item3.jpg (50.78 KiB) Viewed 14518 times

After clicking OK, bound to the parent project as it states in the message box and it worked like a charm. So that appears how Microsoft deals with the shared files issue.

Also see this post. http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic ... 2&start=15

Maybe the issue will be resolved by the end of January….it’s similar.

Thank you and have a happy New Year.

Hello Brian,

Where I'm going with this is I think the shared file is what is ultimately making the "Response for no Message Sent" error. Once the shared files are dealt with, that error shouldn't be seen any more. Do you have any cases of errors where there isn't shared files involved? If not, then I'm going to start the process of permanently removing your project from my drives so that you won't have to worry about us having any of your code.

I was simply letting you know that VSS deals with this scenario, and your previous version of SOS didn't give the Response message that your current version does. Go ahead and delete the project.

Brian,

We've identified a scenario where the Response for No Message Sent is occurring, and fixed it in SOS 5.0.2. Look for the maintenance release to be out today (March 31, 2010).

THANK YOU!!!!

NP.

In our testing scenario, I identified one issue causing this behavior. I'm hopeful it is the same state of things in your solution/project. Please let me know if this release resolves the issue.

[BrianDrab]

I can verify that the "Response for No Message Sent!" message is resolved in SOS 5.0.2. I can also verify that SOS still doesn't allow you to deal with shared files as nice as the VSS client.

Thanks for fixing the message.

Glad to hear the Response for No Message Sent issue has been resolved.
