Atomic Checkings for Whole Solution, from IDE

[johnrusk]

I'm trying to do atomic checkins, from the Visual Studio IDE. As far as I can tell, Vault will process all checkins from a given project as a single changeset (if I check the whole project in at once); but it will not process all checkins from the entire solution as a single changeset.

Is that correct?

If so, are there any plans to allow solution-wide atomic checkins in a future release?

In the meantime, is my best alternative to do the checkin from the Vault client, then choose File | Source Control | Refresh Status (to synch the IDE to what I've just done)?

I believe Visual Studio sends us batches of checkins based on project, which we turn into atomic transactions. The problem is that VS doesn't tell us that another batch is coming for a subsequent checkin, so there isn't a way to know that we should wait until all projects have sent their checkins.

So, yes, the best way to do this would be to do it from the GUI client.
