Rebind support VS2012

[Mordachai]

This needs to be added. Sounds like this feature will be too late for us, however.

Can you define the request a little further?

It currently it possible to bind and rebind a solution/project in VS 2012, so I am unsure of what is missing.

Are you upgrading a project from another version of Visual Studio to VS 2012?

[Mordachai]

It's possible currently from within Visual Studio 2012 - but it is not possible from the Vault administration web site, whereas it is for everything up to 2010 (there is an option under the Admin tab, under Source Control Repositories, [Repository-Name], Rebind Projects).

Here is the text from that:

Rebind Projects and Solution

This wizard will search a folder for Visual Studio solutions and project files to bind to the Visual Studio Enhanced Client. Only Visual Studio 2005, 2008, and 2010 solutions and projects can be bound.

The following file types can be rebound through this page:
sln, csproj, dbp, vbproj, vcproj, vjsproj

The rebinding of other project types is not supported. These unsupported projects should be bound manually to avoid source code control binding conflicts when opening the project or solution within Visual Studio.

Notice that it doesn't handle .vcxproj files, or .sln for 2012.

This would be much nicer than having to manually load each solution and rebind them one at a time, as I'm doing now!

Thanks for clarifying. I'll log a feature request.

Can you tell me if the projects you want to automatically rebind are already bound to some other client? If so, what are they currently bound to?

[Mordachai]

They were bound to VSS.

For the current project tree, I have run a script that checks out the files, removes all SCC bindings, and checks them back in. It's a .btm if anyone is interested.

Again, this would have been great during this transition, and could still be of some use for the older projects that we may need to go back to. But for the most part, I'll have already manually re-binded things by the time this feature exists.

I would think that this is most useful to attracting new customers who are migrating from VSS, as we were.
