Missing OK/Cancel in Locate Solution dialog

[I tried to post this yesterday, but it didn't end up on the board, so I'm trying again. Sorry if this is a duplicate.]

I've got a VS project that was translated from VS2008 to VS2015. The source control bindings were lost and VS prompted me to attach the project to an existing project in source control. Attached is a screenshot of the dialog that is displayed -- the OK/Cancel buttons are clipped and using the tab key doesn't seem to allow me to accept the dialog.

It looks like you selected a project file instead of the .sln file. Look in Vault separated to see if the solution file is in the path. If you are binding a project file and not a .sln file, then expand the folder and there is probably a subfolder that holds the project file. You should see the .vcxproj in the center panel when you have the correct folder.

Thanks. The same problem occurred when opening the solution. It appears the issue was due to the VS2008->2014 translator. I edited the .sln file by hand to restore the Vault info and it appears to work now. Thanks for your help!

Thank you for the update.

If you have more projects to move from VS 2008 to VS 2014, you might try checking out the entire project before you open it in VS 2014. That way if VS 2014 wants to make any changes the files are in a writable state.

Agreed, it was a mistake on my part that I didn't do that.
