Disconnect VS solution from Fortress

Post by nasman » Thu Aug 20, 2009 11:45 am

I've got a VS 2008 solution that is in Fortress. I want to leave it in Fortress but just open/modify the solution as a standalone solution not linked with Fortress. Is there a way to disconnect the solution from Fortress and run it standalone?

thanks

Yes, you can unbind it.

First, open your solution and check it out. If you are using the Fortress Enhanced Client integration, use the menu item "Change Fortress Bindings" in VS 2008 under File->Source Control. This will give you an unbind dialog where you can remove the bindings. After you unbind, "save all" to save your unbound solution and project files.

If you are using the Classic Client integration, look under File->Source Control->Change Source Control in Visual Studio to get the bindings dialog. Unbind and "save all."

Then in the Fortress GUI Client, note that the solution and project files have been edited. Be sure to check these in so the changes will be in the repository and your solution is no longer bound to source control.
