Help with Version 3.5.0 in VS 2005

[skinzz]

Please forgive me for I am new to Visual Studio 2005 and to Sourcegear Vault. I have been trying to get a website from my Vault Repository into a client computer's Visual Studio 2005. I am starting to wonder if it is even possible? When open a solution from source control (which was added using VS), all I get is a dialog box:

Code: Select all

The project you have chosen cannot be correctly opened from source control.

You are attempting to open a solution or project that was not added to 
source control using Microsoft Visual Studio.   Microsoft Visual Studio 
supports opening solutions from source control only when they are added 
(or bound) using Microsoft Visual Studio.  The user who initially added 
the solution must use the Change Source Control command to bind the 
solution to source  control in its current location.

I decided to go simple and create a new website in VS 2005 and upload that to the repository. When I tried to Open From Source Control, i get an error that says there was no project file or solution file (I don't think either one is created when a new website is created in VS 2005).

So I am at a loss. Could someone give/point me to explicit directions on how to open a website from the repository using Vault 3.5.0 and Visual Studio 2005? Thanks a lot.

You are correct that websites generally don't have project files in VS 2005.

Thanks for your reply. I did manage to get something to work with a very basic test site. I am still getting the pop up box, but the files are now appearing in the solution explorer. I need to hack away a little more, just hope that warning does not cause troubles in the future.
