Easiest way to change source control in VS.Net to Vault

[bks]

as part of evaluating vault and the intergration with VS.net 2003. I am trying to change the source control from current vss to vault.

I my vs.net, I already have all the project and solution. What is the easiest way to change source control to Vault?

Do I have to delete all the current stuff and get project from source control or are there a easier way (unbind and bind to the new source control)

If unbind and bind is the way to go, is there a more detail instruction on what to do to make this happen.

Or is there another way?

TIA

Is the project already in Vault? If so, then you'd want to do a enable Vault as the default source control provider (go the standalone GUI client Tools->Options->General, and there is a checkbox there that controls this.

Then, invoke Visual Studio and do an Open From Source Control and select the folder in Vault that contains the project, and everything should work from there.

If it isn't in Vault, you'd want to unbind the project, then add it to Vault (or use the VSS import tool if you want to retain VSS history).

There is a general knowledge base article on adding project via the IDE (see http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=776), but we don't yet have one specifically for transferring projects integrated with VSS over to Vault).

Yes, the projects are already in vault.

They are web projects, so when I open proj from source control, It is trying to get the working copy location as URL and when I specify the current location, it complains about it already contains a project.

what should I try next.

Thanks

You'll need to manually remove that virtual folder from IIS, so that VS.Net can recreate it during the open.
