Problem Adding VB6 folder

Darrel · Post by **Darrel** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 9:18 am

I am attempting to add a VB6 folder to Vault and I get the following error message.

Ticks must be between DateTime.MinValue.Ticks and DateTime.MaxValue.Ticks.
Parameter name: ticks

There is not error

I was able to add other smaller VB6 folders, and .NET folders.

I am using Vault version 3.5.0 (4741).
I am using .Net Framework 2 on the server with IIS V5.

Thanks

Can you tell me what type of project you are trying to open? For example is it a web project?

Also, what server OS and SQL version are you running.

Have you tried the operation from another machine?

This is not a web project, just standard winforms. The folder does contain multiple projects but they are all winforms.

We are still evaluating so the IIS portion of vault is on an XP Pro box. The database is on our real database server and it's running SQL Server 2000 SP4 and Windows server 2000.

Sorry, I forgot to add the version of VB we are using. It is VB6 SP4. We are not trying to use the IDE for source control just the Vault client since we want to be able to have mutiple checkouts.

One thing that may help is to clear the client side cache and then try to add the folder again.

If that doesn't take care of it, then could you send me your Vault Server Log? More detail is available if you place it into debug mode from the Server Options tab in the Admin tool. You can email it to beth at sourcegear.com if you prefer not to post it here.

A Client Log could also be useful.

I've sent you the logs to your email address.

Where would you like me to flush the "client side cache"? I couldn't find a setting for it in the vault client. I receive the same error on another workstation and the server using the GUIClient.

Thanks

Sorry about that. Here's a post on how to Clear Client Side Cache

Clearing the cache didn't work, sorry

Could you go ahead and put the server into debug mode and run the operation? That will provide much more information. To place the Vault Server into Debug mode, open the Vault Admin Tool and go to the Server Options tab. The second half of the window is on logging. Set the Log Level to Debug.

In the meantime, it was recommended to me that there could be an issue with running IIS5 with the .NET 2.0 instead of .NET 1.1. You could try installing .NET 1.1 and setting up Vault to use that one.

You found my problem in the client log file I sent you. One of the files I was trying to add had a corrupted creation date. As soon as I deleted the offending file the upload worked fine. So it turned out to have nothing to do with VB6 or the .net framework.

Thanks for all your help
