Exporting Unbound Project Only From Vault

fuzzlog · Post by **fuzzlog** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 12:15 am

Is there a way to get a copy of a VS 2003 project from Vault without including any vault related files or data? If I do "Get Latest Version" via the vault client, when I open the project in VS 2003, the first message states something like "This project seems to be under version control....." then when I try to debug it gives me a "Cannot debug.....server not configured..." error.

The only way to get rid of the errors is to do "Get Project From Source Control" from within VS, but I don't want that. I want to get the code, modify it and test it without any vault interaction, then when I'm ready, I can copy and paste the working code to a version controlled code so it can be tested again, and then be checked in to vault.

Any suggestions?

Binding information is written into the project and solution files, so you would need to unbind the project first. Unbinding basically "disconnects" the project in your working folder from source control.

To do this, open the project in Visual Studio, then choose File->Source Control->Change Source Control to unbind. Then you can test as you wish, and then rebind when you are ready to check in any changes.
