Project file loading asynchronously [forever]

[rshillington]

Having followed the steps to migrate the binding of a solution and all its projects from version 3 to version 4 all is still not well.

Now when I open the solution from Vault, I see "retrieving files from vault server" messatge in the status bar, but at the end of that, not all the projects are loaded. One that is missing is a web site, and the other a simle Class Library C# project.

Get lastest on the solution doesn't seem to help, nor does Load Project from the context menu of the project in the solution explorer.

Any suggestions?

Ok, so now I'm really messed up. I have a solution with 2 out of the 7 projects not loading. So after giving up the whole "this project is loading asyncronously" bit, I exit VS and go back in and open the solution directly from my working folder. I get the expected logon dialog box, and then an error message saying some of the project could not be loaded (not too surpirsing) so I then remove the unavailable projects from the solution, thinking that I can then add them back in to the solution from source control.

But There is not more source control menu, and all the buttons on the source control toolbar are grayed out. WHERE (if anywhere) is the option to add an existing project from source control.

If you open the GUI client, do any of the files have Old or Edited statuses? You may need to do a get latest from the GUI client, so that all the project files have the 2005 bindings.

The gui did report the files as missing (because they are in fact missing) I did a get latest but it would seem that the project or solution is somehow pooched because having now done a get latest on the entire repository that project is still unavailable.

So at this stage all I can do is remove the project from the solution, but how do I add it back in again from source control.

[jeremy_sg]

Try shutting down VS 2005, doing a get latest, and then restarting 2005.

VS 2005 without SP1 is occasionally very bad at reloading if files have changed on the disk.

1) I think I am running SP1 already ( according to VS Help/About I have 8.0.50727.762 --- which I believe is SP1)
2) I did try as you suggested and that didn't help so now that the project is downloaded from the server I removed it from the solution, and then added it back in again as a local file, and like magic it's all working.

So for the time being I'm up and running --- however the question still remains, where is the function equivilant to the old "All project from source control" menu item.

Thanks,
