Visual Studio 2005 problem

jimmurray · Post by **jimmurray** » Wed May 21, 2008 12:41 am

Got a problem using Vault (4.1.1.18060) which didn't happen on the pre 4.1 release. Having big problems when checking in a project for which a new datasource ('.datasource' type file). When doing this the VS client hangs requiring VS needing to be ended via task manager. When I go to the Vault client and try and check in the changes I get an error saying the .csproj 'needs merge' ??? - i'm the only one that has changed this project and only by adding a datasource! I select 'resolve merge status' to get round this and try the checkin again. I then get an error telling me the datasource alreadfy exists, then an error telling me the .resx file already exists etc. In order to resolve the problems I need to take a copy of the local files, delete them from within vault and then put them back in the local folder and then cehck them in. As you can imagine this is a total pain!

Are you using the Enhanced or Classic client in Visual Studio?

What type of project are you adding this datasource to?

Enhanced client, project is a 'class' project that will create a dll containig a number of windows forms. Each of these forms contains a grid with a .datasource object as their 'datasource'. This 'datasource' is a business objct that comes from another project/dll that is in the solution i.e. it is not a linkg to a database. Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<GenericObjectDataSource DisplayName="RunItem" Version="1.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdatasource">
<TypeInfo>MES.Data.RunItem, MES.Data, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null</TypeInfo>
</GenericObjectDataSource>

Hi Jim. I'm sorry for the difficulties this issue has caused you.

We've fixed an issue very similar to this for the upcoming 4.1.2 release. We haven't yet announced a release date for 4.1.2, but I can offer you a pre-release build. Email me at ian at sourcegear dot com if you'd like to try that.
