Environment:
Team Foundation Server 2005 Visual Studio 2008
I have a reasonably large project with several code branches and several subfolders, solutions, etc. below each code branch.
In one particular branch, I have a folder with 3 subfolders. One of the folders is marked correctly as ‘Latest: Yes’. However, the other two are marked as ‘Latest: Not downloaded’. The files in the folders are marked similarly. Also, I cannot check out the files in these folders, since VS2008 does not recognize that I have the latest version.
I’ve looked through the security properties and they seem to be identical between the ‘good’ folders and ‘bad’ folders.
Any thoughts?
I have found and corrected the issue. It was that I was working in a particular code branch. However, a few of my solution files had code similar to this:
when I am really working in a later release, Release 3.4. Since this was hard-coded into the solution file (how does it get there?), it was creating a new workspace for me, but only for the projects under that solution.
There must have been a conflict when it was looking to check out some of the project’s files from an old branch when the remainder of my source code is mapped, in the workspace, to a later branch.
Once I removed this line of code from the solution file, everything works correctly.
