Visual Studio source control hell
-
So, it's been several days and still, EVERY time I open my project, it tells me it can't find the source control, and the reason is that it insists on using the wrong source control provider. EVERY time I open my project, I have to remove source control and rebind to the right provider. Does anyone have any experience with this ?

I'm telling you: track down the SCC provider DLLs, and delete them. Life is too short for this sort of madness.

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

Well, I am about to uninstall one source control provider entirely, which is not a workable solution. How can it be this hard ? How can VS suck this bad ? I just deleted any file I could find that seemed remotely tied to source control, but it still wrongly thinks that my project is bound to a source control provider that it has never, EVER used.

What about trying to manually edit the solution file? Perhaps remove references to source control.

It's that goddamn Mac. You should have expected a certain level of incompatibility. :)

Easiest way is to launch VS, look at the loaded modules (using Process Explorer or equiv), and look for anything in the descriptions that seems remotely source-control-related. Otherwise, they're hard to find.

I've tried to search the whole project for references to the provider and not found them. I guess I will look at the XML next.

It *was* working for me, and I did a get latest, and now the source is not bound, but I still can't change my source provider without it telling me it will close the project. b/c I am on a Mac anyhow, I am seriously considering having one XP VM for DIA and one for Intravet.

This is one reason why a lot of people don't bother and use external applications for this..

Visual Studio has a couple ways of binding the project to source control. In the one method, they put the source control information in the project file. In the other, the project file is marked to look in the solution file instead. I have a feeling your project file is marked with source control information. I would delete your solution file, and then edit the project file manually. If you open it in Notepad, you'll see four attributes whose names begin with "Scc". Change the values of all of those to "SAK", which appears to be a marker that means 'look in the solution file'. Open the project in Visual Studio and do a 'save all' to save a new solution file. You should then be able to use 'change source control' to add the solution file back to source control.

Have you considered decoupling the source control provider from the IDE? You seem to get into an awful lot of problems with technology.... :suss:
