PRB: VID and VSS Out of Sync, Resulting in Possible Data Loss

ID: Q195952

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 6.0
Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 32-bit, for Windows 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use Visual SourceSafe and Visual InterDev, the Web projects in the Visual InterDev environment might become out of sync under certain conditions. The most typical problem is that a file appears to be checked out in Visual SourceSafe when it actually is not.

CAUSE

If you directly manipulate files from the Visual SourceSafe Explorer, problems with the FrontPage Server Extensions might occur because Visual InterDev caches the state of the files in the Web project's metadata.

RESOLUTION

Do one of the following to resynchronize the Web project:

In the Visual InterDev Project Explorer, right-click on the Web project and click Recalculate Links.

On the Project menu, click Web Project, and then click Recalculate Links.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
