SERIOUS HELP :project.root deleted

Hello everyone

I've a VSS problem.

SCENARIO

I created a VSS DB on win2003 server  for a project named cargoreports and got it added by the source safe control in VS.NET on  a peer developer's PC.

I logged into VSS client  as admin the next day  to get cargoreports on my local development PC and by mistake

 I deleted cargoreports.root which i had set as my working folder.

So my peer couldn't check in his code on VSS later in the day.

I corrected that problem on his pc by taking a backup of the latest source code on local HD and readding  the source control in VS.NET as we normally do when VSS control is added for the first time.

So the final VSS client structure for the project was

/

cargoreports.root

+files

+files

+and so files

And this was the original structure as well.

THE PROBLEM:

Now when i ran a get latest on my pc using VSS Client i did get the project but it won't run giving a parser error.It seems as if VSS didn't check in the files added by my peer developer.

However when i ran the backup of the latest code in my inetpub without using VSS client it worked normally.

HELP

please help me in  rectifying my VSS problem above so that from next time i use it for my day 2 day check in check out get latest task.

Thanks

Fahad

    Hi Fahad,

    It seems to me you need to use "Open from source control" functionality in VisualStudio (if using VS2003, too, that is under File/SourceControl menu), instead of using GetLatestVersion from VSS Explorer.

    If you still have problems please describe the exact error messages given by the scc integration in VisualStudio.

    Thanks,

    Alin
