Adding a project that was under vault protection before...

[braden]

Hello,

I hope someone can help me with this. I recently had my computer crash on me and I had to get a new one. Luckily I saved my code off to a memory stick earlier that day. Howver, I lost everything else including my vault repository.

I have since installed vault on a different computer than the one that I am development. This is a clean install. On the computer that I am doing development on I loaded up my project that I saved to the memory stick.

Now, I want to add that project to the vault. I was first getting and object reference error. I then went in and deleted the hidden sg_bak folders that are created by vault. Now, when I try to go add the project to source control the option is not there at all.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Braden Powers

I'm assuming you didn't make any backups of your Vault database and that it was on the computer that crashed?

Did you move the project off the memory stick to a location on your drive?
Did you go in Visual Studio to Tools - Options - Source Control and set it to use Vault?

Yeah, I didn't make a back up. I will now, plus it on a separate box.

Yes, I moved the project to hard drive under its normal designation under my docs.

Yes, Vault is selected as the source control option.

Ok...There was a field that I clicked that says..Go Online. I clicked that and the Vault log in come up. It is still pointing to my old server. How do I change that to the new.

Thanks,

I figured it out. I had to unbind the project. Then I could select the add to Vault feature.
