VS.Net Bindings <unable to display>

Whenever I view/change source control bindings in VS.Net, the dialog always displays <unable to display>. This makes it very difficult to see what the binding is - especially when branching!

Thanks for the feedback. I think a few other people have noticed this too, and we'll look into it.

Yep! We've definitely noticed that too. In fact, I've never seen binding information in VS for any SCM product other than VSS!

One thing to note is that you can get the connection information from the MSSCCPRJ.SCC files (one per project). Although certainly not as convenient as seeing them in the binding dialog, there is a place where a human can read them

Should these files be checked in ? When I migrated I found that I had to delete these files and the VSSCC ones or VS.Net got completely confused about bindings.

They should definitely not be checked in - they contain connection information about the project that can vary slightly for each user, and as you noticed, cause bindings to become invalid.
