Check out with VS 2005 IDE

Hello, I have VS 2005 and Vault 3.1.2 installed. Whenever I want to check out the project, it offers to check out all the files in the project. I just want to check out the csproj file and that's it.

Is it a setting (if so, I can't find it) or a bug of what?

Thanks.

I don't believe there is a setting to just checkout the project file (VS controls this). However, generally it is checked out automatically if there is a change that requires the project file to be updated (such as a file add or delete).

There has got to be a better way. It wasn't this way with VSS. Is this by design or simply overlooked?

This is all controlled by Visual Studio, and it should work exactly the same in VSS.

What task are you trying to accomplish that requires just the project file to checked out?

You can always check out the project file via the Vault client, and then refresh the SC status via the refresh button on the VS2005 Source Control toolbar.
