Visual Studio -> Change SourceControl
 

Hi,

After sharing & branching a project with Visualbuild's Sourcesafe action we always need to manually open the branched project in Visual Studio 2008 to execute "File -> Source Control -> Change Sourcecontrol" to make the solution point to the correct (branched) Sourcesafe project.

Can this be automated with Visualbuild somehow?


Example:
1. We share and branche "$\MyApplication" to "$\MyApplication\Released\MyApplicationV1"
2. If i now open "X:\MyApplication\Released\MyApplicationV1\MyApplic ation.sln" its still pointing to the sourcesafe project "$\MyApplication" (which is not correct).
3. So i have to manually go to "File -> Source Control -> Change Sourcecontrol" to point it to "$\MyApplication\Released\MyApplicationV1"

Its step 3 i would like to do with Visualbuild.

David.

I believe the source control binding info is stored in the .sln and project files. You should be able to use the Replace in File action to update that info.

Hi,

I've checked it and you are correct the only file that changes is the solution file.

However i don't understand all of the changes INSIDE this file, so i can not find/replace the values by hand:

SccProjectName0 = \u0022$/MyApplication\u0022,\u0020FAAAAAAA

changed to

SccProjectName0 = \u0022$\MyApplication\Released\MyApplicationV1\u00 22,\u0020VCEAAAAA

u0020VCEAAAAA <--- being the problem

Just replace the part before the comma.

That would not be correct.

If i replace the part before the comma i don't get the same result because the part after the comma changed from \u0020FAAAAAAA to \u0020VCEAAAAA

Oh, I missed that. Then it may not be possible to automate.
