"Add to Vault"

[CCericola]

In our environment, each user maintains their own Solution files which are not checked in, only the invidual projects are. This worked fine with the previous client, but the new Visual Studio Enhanced client does not seem to let me add projects directly to the vault. The option "Add to Vault" under File->Vault Source Control is greyed out.

How can I add this project from Visual Studio to the vault?

The Enhanced Client does not support not having solution files in Vault. That feature is only available with the Classic Client currently. I can put in a feature request for you if you want, but for right now, you would need to either use the Classic Client or add the solution file with the Enhanced Client.

We to use separate solutions in our development process. It has been a huge pain to deal with this not being supported. Please please add it in future releases.

I will add a feature request.

Still, in the meantime, you might feel more comfortable working with the Classic Client since it can do what you want.

Unfortunately the classic client seems to not work very well with Visual Studio 2008. At this point we have a painful work around, but are working.

So please do add this as a feature request.

Thanks for the feedback. I understand that the lack of this feature is painful for some folks, and we do have a feature logged.

I wanted to clarify that what (I think) is truly missing, in MSSCCI terminology, is "Add Selected Project(s) to Vault." You can work with bound projects and unbound solutions, there's just not an easy way to add a new project to source control when you're working this way.

When working with an unbound solution, you can still get there via some extra steps:

1. Create/add the new project in Visual Studio as you normally would.
2. In the standalone Vault client, add the new project to Vault.
3. In Visual Studio, bind the new project via File|Vault Source Control|Change Vault Bindings.

I apologize for the inconvenience. If I've misinterpreted the request, by all means let me know.

bump for this feature to be added - we have the same scenario where each developer has his own solutions...and we use vs2008. so, the sooner this can be out, the better

We'll add your "vote." Thanks.
