SG Vault Standard Error

[btd]

I am using Vault 7.1 standard edition with Visual Studio 2008.
When I leave work for the day, I leave VS2008 open but do check all my files in.
When I come back to work next day, I begin working on a c# file but notice I did not get auto checkout.
Turns out I have to refresh my Vault each day BEFORE editing code. Otherwise its not checked out.

Is there a way to force auto refresh and auto checkout in VS2008 the next day?

The only workaround I have is to refresh my bindings. But I don't always remember to do that each morning when I begin.

THanks

Vault has a status refresh, which you probably already have set, but I don't think that will help with the VS bindings.

Does your VS project take too long to load in the morning? If so, I think you can make a little command-line script to start up Visual Studio and your project and schedule it to start before you arrive at work. Would that get you to what you need?

[btd]

No, my VS project doesn't take long as its already loaded remember? I don't shut down VS when I leave work.
Yes, if you can send me a script that will refresh my Vault connection, that may just do the trick!

Can you send me the script to wake up Vault please?

Thanks

I didn't actually have one yet. So far I know one can start Visual Studio by running devenv from the command line. I don't know if one can just call their project behind that or not.

Some of the commands for devenv can be found here: http://143home.blogspot.com/2010_12_17_archive.html.

If it's not requiring you to login each day, then you can just run

Code: Select all

devenv mysolutionfile.sln

For example, I opened a solution with the following:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" "C:\Users\myname\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\WebApplication1\WebApplication1.sln"

That can be thrown into a .bat file and then scheduled with Task Scheduler.

That works for me.

Thanks alot and have a great week!
