Migrating Visual Studio projects?

Hi,

I'm evaluating SourceGear vault, so I hope this is a valid question

We have a variety of Visual C++ 6.0, Visual Basic 6.0, and Visual Studio.NET 2003 projects already under VSS.

Now, last week we evaluated SubVersion, and one of the things we needed to do after the migration was complete was to open up the .sln files in notepad, remove all references to VSS, then open up VS.NET, and add the project to SubVersion manually through the plugin.

Will I have to do the same thing with Vault? Is there a conversion tool that can remove all VSS references, or will the Vault "ignore" VSS references and replace them accordingly?

Thanks for your help,
Julian

Visual Studio creates the binding information and adds it to your solutions when you integrate with a source control system.

Vault does not automatically remove all VSS integration references. You may not have to manually edit all the files, however. You should be able to unbind the projects from VSS or use "change source control" if the projects are already in Vault.

For details, see this KB article.It refers to imported projects, but the suggestions can also be used for projects that have been added:

Linda,

I have seen the "unbind" option, but didn't realize it could be used to switch between repositories "cleanly". thanks for the tip.

Warm Regards,
Julian
