VS 1.1 "Getting item(s) from Source Control" hangs

[Ron Kunce]

I mostly use Vault with the advanced client in Visual Studio 2.0 and have little problem. However, we still have a number of older VS 1.1 applications which have been placed under Vault and are very problemmatic. One problem is that all the 1.1 applications keep reverting to the condition that keeps an item checked-out after checking them in. I have unchecked this property numereous times but coming back to the same application I find it is checked again.

My biggest problem right now is one where I open the application in Visual Studio and the project goes into a unending permenant status of "Getting item(s) from Source Control". I've forced out the VS 1.1 application task, opened the Vault Client, and discovered there was merge problem which I resolved through the Client screen. But, when I return to the application it is still going into a lock-up for the same "Getting item(s) from Source Control" status.

HOW do I correct the problem? Need response as soon as possible!

We could use more information.

What version of Vault are you using? What version of Visual Studio? I'm not familiar with VS 2.0 or VS 1.1. Are you referring to VS 2005 and VS 2008?

Vault Version 4.1.2(18185). Sorry, VS 2005 uses ASP.Net 2.0 while ASP.Net 1.1 is Visual Studio 2003. (VS 2008 employees ASP.Net 3.5).

I got past the unending wait state by excluding some unecessary sub-folders (i.e., images) from the project and source control repository. However, it is still giving me fits with VS 2003, not allowing me to rename a .aspx file and claiming I can't check it out because it is already checked out when the project nor the Vault Client repository show the file as checked out.

Check in the Vault Admin Web client under Source Control Repositories->(Repository name)->Undo checkout to see if the file is actually checked out.

If it is not, it's possible your client side cache is out of sync. Close any open clients on your machine, delete the client-side cache and see if you still get a message that the file is checked out.
