VS.NET 2003 long delay when undoing a file checkout

[cmccarrick]

I simply choose one single file to undo a checkout and vs.net loops through and opens every single file in the project. This is a pretty vanilla default installation of vs.net, so I am not sure what macro might be installed. Thanks for trying to help me.

The other odd item seems to be that when I undo a checkout of a file or when I re-open vs.net it forces me (there is no cancel button) to re-check out all the files that I just checked back into the system even though there are no changes. This gets very annoying and time consuming.

let's look at this from a different angle.

1) log into vault using your gui client. go to the menu -> Tools -> Options -> Concurrent Development Style section. what do you have set for:

• auto-commit after each operation
• require check out before check in
• make writable
• always request exlusive locks

2) start up vs.net 2003. Go to the menu -> Tools -> Options ->Source Control -> General section. what do you have set for:

• get everything when a solution is opened
• check in everything when a solution is closed
• display silent checkout commands in menus
• display silent checkin commands in menus
• keep items checked out when checking in
• _____ when checked-in items are edited
• allow checked-in items to be edited
• _____ when checked in items are saved

now go to the Source Control -> SCC Provider section. What do you have set for:

• use _____ settings
• perform background status updates
• click on the advanced button, and log into vault. what are the vaules for the following settings:
  • general settings -> always display command dialog on get latest version
  • general settings -> always disconnect from server on add/open to/from source control
  • concurrent development style -> auto-commit after each operation. is it disabled?
  • require check out before check in. is it disabled?
  • make writable. is it disabled?
  • always request exclusive locks. is it enabled?

thanks.
