Help with create new project from Vault server

[dcaver]

I just received a new computer and I’m trying to open up my Vault project on this new computer. According to the documentation I need to open a project and then get the files from source control. I installed the Vault Client (v. 2.06) and the VPN to connect to the SQL Server on the new computer.

I created a new Web Project in VS called MDWebNet which is the same name that was originally used. I then went to File | Source Control | Open from Source Control. I was then prompted for my Vault credentials and then chose the project from the Repository.

I was asked to select a Working Folder, so I pointed it to c:\inetpub\www\mdwebnet. A box then came up and said that there was already a solution in the folder and wanted me to use c:\inetpub\www\mdwebnet_1. It would not let me change it to c:\inetpub\www\mdwebnet, so I accepted c:\inetpub\www\mdwebnet_1 and then all my files were brought into my project.

When I closed VS, I was asked to save MDWebNet(2).sln (which I did). Now when I open up VS I have MDWebNet and MDWebNet(2).

What steps do I need to take to create a project that uses c:\inetpub\www\mdwebnet as the working directory and MDWebNet.sln as the solution?

Thanks,
David

Visual Studio creates the virtual folder for you, so when you created it manually, it did make the connection that it should use the one you created, so it created a second one.

You should probably start over, and delete both the virtual folders and your working folders and then do a new Open From Source Control, and let VS create the virtual folder for you.

I had to reboot to be able to remove everything but once I cleared out all the folders and started over without creating the project first it seemed to work.

Thanks again,
