Push Add To Server Dialog Box

See Also   Tasks

Use this dialog box to control when an item is added to the source control server from your local machine. The Items box lists the items that were added to the local machine. You can add these items to the source control server or delay the action.

If you delay the addition, the development environment will remind you that there are added items that are not pushed to the source control server. You can also choose to do nothing, and keep the added items on your local machine only.

Warning   Add your items to the master source control server when the other people sharing that database expect the addition of the item. If other team members are working on the same items as you are, delaying an action to an item may result in conflicting changes later.

Options

Items

Displays the items to add. Click the items you wish to add to the source control server, based on the button you choose (Add Now, Remind Later, or Do Nothing). A check mark will appear next to selected items. These items receive the action of your choice from the buttons (Add Now, Remind Later, or Do Nothing).

Keep Checked Out

Refreshes the source control server with the latest version of the local items that are selected, but keeps the item checked out to you.

Comment

Provides a place to enter comments. You can type up to 4,095 characters.

Add Now

Adds the items selected with check marks in the Items box. This action pushes the local copy of the added item from the local machine to the source control server so that the contents of the solution will match in both places.

You will be reminded later about adding any items you did not select with a check mark in the Items box.

Remind Later

Delays adding the items to the source control server until you are reminded later. To select specific items to add to the server, click the items to add, and then click Add Now.

Push reminders occur when a project is pushed. Push actions are Check In to Source Control and Add to Source Control. This is the default setting for reminder dialog boxes. You can change the timing of the dialog boxes by changing the options listed in the Source Control page (on the Tools menu, click Options, and then expand the Environment node and click the Source Control node).

Do Nothing

Leaves all of the items as they are in both places. This means that the local copy of the item, added locally, is not added to the source control server. You will not be prompted with any more reminders.

Don't show push dialog boxes

Suppresses any more instances of the Push Add to Server dialog box. You can choose whether the development environment automatically delays the action (reminding you later), or never reminds you at all.

You can enable this dialog box again by changing the options listed in the Source Control page (on the Tools menu, click Options, and then expand the Environment node and click the Source Control node).

• Always Remind — Choose this if you would like the development environment to always defer the action and remind you later. This means that if you add items in the development environment, you will not be immediately prompted, and the environment will automatically delay the addition to source control (reminding you later). You will be reminded to complete the action when you do the following push actions: Check In and Add to Source Control.
  
  
• Always Do Nothing — Choose this if you would like the development environment to do nothing with respect to source control. This means that if you add items in the development environment, you will not be prompted, and the environment will not push the changes to the source control server's database.
