Question about check-in and VS2005 integration (3.51)

[MikeShepard]

I'm having a hard time reconciling what I do in VS with what I see in the client. I have used Vault (as a single developer) for a while using only the IDE integration and have had no real problems. Tonight, I happened to look at the client and things don't seem to match. If I check a file out for editing in VS, it shows checked out (a little checkmark icon in the solution explorer). However, if I look in the vault client, it doesn't show the file as being checked out. If I subsequently edit the file in VS and save it, it shows in the client as "renegade" (even though I checked it out). Note: I can see a pending change set in the client for this file.

Am I having a great big "duh" moment? What am I missing?

I have always used the following rhythm...check out files, edit files and test changes, check in files with comments.

In VS, the "Keep items checked out when checking in" was set. Once I unchecked that, things seem to be behaving like I would expect.

Would you mind posting a screen shot of your VS 2005 source control settings? I have noticed a lot of posts regarding check in / check out issues. I put a lot of faith in a source control system and if files aren't being checked in properly, etc. it makes me lose sleep.

Forgot to post these... This is what I want to see. Should it be set to custom or does it even matter since Visual Source Safe isn't the specified source control plugin?
