Visual Source Safe - Delete project add project
-
Rant: Visual Source Safe and Visual Studio 2010 RC are driving me insane. I want to delete a project in my solution and re-create it. Removing it from the solution doesn't delete the files - I have to do that in Explorer. After that, I can't check-in those changes in to VSS. I go in to Source Control and find the project folder and delete it there. It doesn't actually delete it - but I can see a little red X next to the project - I can't check-in those changes either. If I try to create the project again I keep getting errors that files already exist and that I can't overwrite them - basically, I'm going to throw my computer across the room unless somebody can help me :mad: Help is appreciated :) -Kevin

ok - I somehow was able to get the delete checked in and I re-created the project in my solution. I was also able to check in the new project that has the same structure/files as before. When I ran get latest version of the solution, the Pending Changes window appears with 8 conflicts: 8 writable. I feel that these are the old versions of the files on the server, which I thought were already replaced by the new versions when I checked in - but I guess not. I would like to change the server files to reflect my local files, but the only option to resolve each conflict is to overwrite my local files. Does anybody know how I can do the exact opposite of my only option? :confused:

just delete the Vss files from the folder and delete the project from Visual Source Safe and you can then create a new project from Visual Source safe or from Visual studio

Thanks for the response. I was able to delete the files from the folder and delete the project from TFS. However, the 8 conflicts still appear in pending changes - even after a computer restart. They have not interfered with anything so far - everything compiles, checks out, checks in, and gets just fine - but its kind of annoying that these will probably exist forever unless I figure out how to get rid of them - they are referring to a solution that doesn't even exist anymore - how they are referring to it are beyond my imagination.

Did you tried cleaning the solution

at least you won't have to throw your computer across the room now :-)
