Question

I have a project which is under source control via Star Team in VS 2008. I added another project to my solution for an installer, configured it, tested it, etc. Now, when I go to check in my solution with the new installer, I get the following warning:

The project that you are attempting to add to source control may cause other source control users to have difficulty opening this solution or getting newer versions of it. To avoid this problem, add the project from a location below the binding root of the other source controlled projects in the solution.

There are with options to Continue or Cancel.

My project directory looks like this:

/Proj1/
    Proj1.sln
    /Proj1/
        .cs files
        .csproj
        /bin/, etc
    /Proj1_Installer/
        Proj1_Installer.vdproj
        /Debug/
        /Release/

Is there something fundamental I’m missing?

Answer 1

My problem was that my debug and resource folders were being put into source control. Visual studio wants to generate these every time the project runs, so they shouldn’t be placed in SC.
