Vault 6.0 integration with VB6 and VS 12

Post by brownboy » Wed Oct 17, 2012 7:58 pm

We have recently installed Vault 6 to use with our legacy VB6 projects as well as new VS 2012 solutions.
We are encountering an issue where downloading the projects to other dev. machines using the Vault client does not yield the MSSC file so they end up showing as unbound to a source control when opened in VB6 or VS 2012. Is there a setting that needs to be toggled to get this resolved?

Also, unless the Vault client is invoked with elevated rights, i.e., 'Run as an Administrator', the check value for 'Make Vault your default SCC Provider' won't save and get remembered. This happens even if the logged-in user is member of the admin group.

Once one person has bound the projects between Vault and Visual Studio, and checked in their bindings to the Vault server, then other users should use the Open From Vault command, or Open from Source Control command. The client you choose in the Visual Studio Tools - Options - Source Control determines which command you will see. All users should choose the same client in Visual Studio.

Our Client Getting Started Guide has a section on starting with Visual Studio.

We also have a few KB articles to help. Start at our KB article index, then scroll down until you see the section called Visual Studio IDE Integration

What will really determine the exact steps you need to take is going to be your layout.

What does your solution layout look like?

Does your layout look something like:(Any location, but everything physically contained beneath solution)

---Top Solution Folder
............|_____________.sln file
............|_____________Project Folder
.............................|_____________.proj file
.............................|_____________other files (.cs, .vb, etc.)
.............................|_____________other files (.cs, .vb, etc.)

Or is it more like: (all items are outside the "scope" of the solution)

C:\Users\me\Documents\VSProjects...|_____________Top Solution Folder
..............................................................|_____________.sln file
D:\My ProjectLocation............|_____________Project Folder
.........................................................|_____________.proj file
.........................................................|_____________other files (.cs, .vb, etc.)
.........................................................|_____________other files (.cs, .vb, etc.)
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\......|_____________Project2 Folder
.................................................|_____________.proj file
.................................................|_____________other files (.cs, .vb, etc.)
.................................................|_____________other files (.cs, .vb, etc.)
