Visual Studio 2005 and branching

I am having some issues with branching. I have a trunk and branch off of it that is used for development. When development is complete, I merge the changes and go on my merry way. I have recently obtained an evaluation version of Vault and I am trying to implement this process. When I create a new branch off of my trunk and then open it in visual studio, the bindings for the project are ALL jacked up. Does anybody have a process out there for simplifying this or any I doing something wrong? I know it can't possibly be as hard as removing all source control and rebinding in the new branch. Thanks in advance.

Is the project you are working with a web project by any chance?

Had you performed a fresh open from source control on the new branch?

It is not a web project, and I just tried a fresh open from source control and the solution I branched is from the new branch but all projects are from the old branch still.

Can you tell me what the layout is like? Is it just a windows application with subprojects?

You probably will need to unbind the entire thing, double check that each piece is unbound, save it on disk that way, then go into Vault, and perform the branch. From there you could either perform a fresh open from source control, or check your .sln files and .proj files to make sure that the references there are to the new branch.
