NullReferenceException when using VS 2005 integration

Hi,

Sometimes I get a NullReferenceException when using Vault through the VS 2005 client. It seems to be mainly when a connection is first established.

For example, I created a new project, and checked the Add Solution to Source control option. VS attempted to do so after I selected the profile to use to logon, I got a NullReferenceExceception. After clicking OK, I again get the Logon dialog, select the profile again, and it works fine.

Also, using Vault as my SCC provider in HelpStudio 3.0.1 always gives me the same exception (which I am assuming has something to do with Vault at this point).

This started happening after I upgraded to Vault 3.5.2.

Any ideas?

Are other users experiencing the same problem? Can you login with the same profile with the Vault GUI Client?

Is there anything in the Event Viewer on the client machine that corresponds to the error message?

Anything in the Vault Server log? It's sgvault.log in %windir%\temp\sgvault on the Vault Server machine.

Unfortunately I am the only user. The Vault GUI Client works fine.

Nope.

Nothing odd. Mostly SSL Enabled logins, and a few SSL Disabled ones.

Did anything about the Server machine change -- location, IP address, etc?

You might try unbinding and rebind the project. This is in Visual Studio under File->Change Source Control.

No, I just did an upgrade on the existing server.

This has also happened when I first attempted to add a solution to source control which was previously not bound.
