  Is there a way to create a text object By putting [ and ] you can escape the name between them. In this case, since string is a built in keyword in Visual Basic .NET, the compiler would have treated it as the keyword string instead of the type name String.

Is there a pointer to a blog anywhere on this slee, Yes, you can indeed sign up for the checkin event using the docs in the extensibility kit.  I don't know for sure, but I would expect there's an example in there.

In the repository I have two top-level projects, both of which are mapped to local folders via two different workspaces.  All of the folders for both projects are shown greyed in the SCC explorer.
