Source control binding status is invalid: Visual Studio 2005 and VSS

John picture John · Feb 25, 2010 · Viewed 8.4k times · Source

I had my VB.NET project and associated solution (developed in Visual Studio 2005) in Visual Source Safe.

Recently started working with another developer and needed to clean up.

Somewhere along the way I broke a binding. I went into

File -> Source Control -> Change Source Control

and tried to bind things correctly.

I unbound the project that was incorrectly bound, and tried to rebind it. I have two projects in the solution. This is what I get:

Solution/Project       Server Name    Server Binding         Connected     Status

Solution: MySoln.sln   X:\TheSource   $/Tools/MySoln          checked      Valid
Project1               X:\TheSource   $/Tools/MySoln          checked      Valid
Project2               X:\TheSource   $/Tools/MySoln (C:\)    checked     Invalid

Where else would I look to try to get the bindings correct?

I may not have given enough information, but this is all I know to give.

Thanks as always!

The little question mark button is occasionally helpful.

Needed to check in that project to source control, and the binding became valid.
