We selected SourceGear Vault Standard Classic Client in VS2010 as the source control plug-in.
Our client computers are Windows 7 64bit.
I first branched a project in the Vault client.
Then I launched VS2010 and selected File / Source Control / Open from Source Control...
After specifying the branched project, and nominating a local folder, it then creates the local copies of all the project files and attempts to open the project in VS2010.
The first thing that happens after that is a modal dialog box saying "The project you have chosen cannot be correctly opened from source control." There is also a paragraph of text that I couldn't be bothered typing in. If you want to see it, I can send you a screen capture.
The only buttons are OK and Help.
If I click OK it goes ahead and loads the project anyway.
At first all the icons for the files have Explanation marks (warning), but after a few seconds they seem to get replaced with the familiar lock icons. Fair enough, I give it a minute or two to process all the files before doing anything (it is a big solution with three projects and folders containing many classes etc.).
After that if I open a form that has custom controls located elsewhere in the project, instead of showing the form in Design view, it shows the screen saying "To prevent possible data loss before loading the designer, the following errors must be resolved: "
Below that it lists each broken reference it is having trouble resolving.
But all the dependencies are part of the project. If I navigate to the folder in the Solution Explorer containing one of the alleged missing dependencies, the file has one of those Explanation mark icons mentioned above. If I open it, I can see the code, and the icon changes, but attempting to reopen the form still complains of a missing reference.
If I build the project it seems to resolve the references, and I can then open the form in Design view.
Does I need to do that each time a new branch is opened for the first time?
Am I using the tools correctly?
What if I can't build due to some other problem?
Also - we paid for 1 year's support - does that just let us use this forum? Or is there another avenue we can use for support?
Thank you.
