Hi,

We are evaluating your source gear vault source control software. For Windows application it is working fine and for ASP.NET web applications we are facing some issues.

The problem we are facing is when we integrate web applications with vault, only the solution file are getting added. It is eliminating the ASPX, CSS, ASCX and other files which is inside the web. How do we add all files into source control.

Appreciate your support on this.

Regards

G.Venkat:

Did you add items through the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Vault client using Visual Studio.Net?

If so, please let us know if the information contained in this knowledge base article solves the problem?

Hi,

If we have IIS in our local machine it is working fine. But we are facing problem only when we are integrating with web server. Could you please tell us how to rectify this.

Hi,

Here is the environment for your understanding.

We are having one machine "X" with Win2000 server, IIS and .NET Framework 1.1. Source gear server is also installed in server "X".

All our web projects are in "X". My machine "Y" is installed with WinXP, IIS, VS.NET and source gear client. Now what I am trying to achieve is, I am creating one web application in server "X" and trying to integrate with source control using source gear. Now only the project file are getting integrated with source control. It is eliminating rest of the files in the project.

If I am creating the same web application using VS.NET in my machine's local IIS "Y", all the files in the project are getting integrated with source control.

My question is how do I integrate all the files which is in the server "X".

Hope you can understand the scenario now.

Appreciate your support in this.

Regards
G.Venkat

Remotely host projects are not the default nor recommended for Web Projects in VS.Net(*). You would normally use remote hosted projects when:

Machine Y cannot use IIS.
You want to test or remotely debug on Server X.

Do you want to remotely debug on Server X? Note, when debugging a remotely located web project, all other users are blocked from making changes or working in the remote web project.(*)

In any case, I think what is happening is the solution / project files exist on Machine Y. However, the ASP.Net files are sitting on Server X, and for some reason VS.Net cannot access them through the web share on Server X.

How was this project added to Vault? Did you add it within VS.Net using "Add project to Source Code Control" from within VS.Net? Does your login account on Machine Y have all the necessary ACLs on Server X for remote hosted web projects (*) ?

With so many restrictions / limitations placed for remote projects by VS.Net, why even use Server X for the remote web project? Is it for deployment reasons? If so, I wold recommend setting up a local solution, and then use Vault's shadow folder for deployment.
