.csproj files not getting checked in to TFS

Muhwu picture Muhwu · Jun 3, 2013 · Viewed 10.2k times · Source

My problem is that in my scenario, I have a project with two parallel project files for different build targets. I have a ProjectName.WP8.csproj and ProjectName.WinRT.csproj, which essentially include the same files.

I am trying to check-in this solution (SolutionName.WinRT.sln) to TFS and I get no errors. All the code changes to the code in the project goes through, but when I check the actual state of TFS, the (newer) PorjectName.WinRT.csproj files are not checked in.

This is quite peculiar since it worked perfectly for the WP8 version. How can I support this kind of scenario?

(If it's not possible, how do I easily migrate my parallel project to another TFS project?)

Just had this come up myself. I had been working on a project for a few days before checking the solution in. During the initial check in for the project, only the most recent file edits were seen by source control. I was able to highlight all the files in the Solution Explorer and select Add to Source Control from the right click menu, but the csproj files themselves did not check in. To do this, I had to go into the Source Control Explorer and open the project directory. From within the directory, right click and select Add Items to Folder. Then you can select the csproj files and you're good to go.
