CR files are automatically checked out (with Visual Source Safe 2005)

Dear CR Support,
i have a strange problem. Every time i open my solution in V.S. 2008 (V.B.) all my CR files are checked out automatically.
I must do "Undo Check Out" every time.
I Use:
Visual Basic 2008
Crystal Reports 2008
Visual Source Safe 2005
For any extra information, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Navarino Technology Department.

Dear Don hello,
sorry for that.
I have made some tests and i notice the followings:
I'm working in a CR file in design mode. I make the changes that i want, i click save and then "Check In" in order the changes to be saved in VSS. If i Don't "close" the CR File (the open tab of Visual Studio) the CR file stays "Open" in design mode. If i right click over the tab of the CR and click "close", the CR closes. This is what i mean "Open" and "Closed" file.
- When i open the solution with the crystal reports files open (design window open), the files are checked out automatically.
- When i open the solution with closed the reports, i have no problem. But if i try to open (in design mode) the crystal reports files, the report is checked out automatically (this is not happening to all reports).
I will try to reinstall the SP2 again.
Is there any newer Patch after the SP2, in order to install it?
Thank you for your reply.
Best regards,
Navarino Technology Department

  • Correct use of LabVIEW 8 with Visual Source Safe

    I have LabVIEW 8.0 and Microsoft Visual Source Safe 6 (VSS) installed and was looking for help with the correct way to integrate the two environments.  This will be used in a team environment and code modules will be shared between team members.  I have used and understand the new project manager with it's virtual directory structure.  I have also used and understand VSS and its abilities to share and branch vis or project folders. 
    When you share an item in VSS, the vi is available for use in both projects and physically resides in both projects within your working directory.  If I were just using VSS, this is the method I would use (and what is recommended in the VSS documentation).  This way an entire project contains all the files and can be retrieved all at once. 
    When you use the LabVIEW 8 project manager, it appears that the intent is to only have the code in one location and share it through virtual folders.  This makes sense and works fine until LabVIEW 8 and VSS are both used.  LabVIEW 8 can handle check in/out and adding files to VSS.  A LabVIEW project can even use vis that belong to other LabVIEW projects and other VSS projects.
    My concern with all this is what happens when a team member wants to bring down code to their working directory or rebuilding my own working directory.  LabVIEW's project manager does not appear to provide a direct view to the VSS database.  I can go into VSS and pull down a LabVIEW project file (lvproj file only) and open it up.  All appears to be fine and all VSS information is intact.  What is not there is any indication of which files actually exist in my working directory or any way to perform a "bulk" retrieval of all the files required in my project.  If all the files reside in a virtual directory, I don't even know where to go get them from.  One solution could be to follow the VSS style and ensure everything is native to a project or at least shared with a project (within VSS).  This may be cumbersome and would not follow the LabVIEW project philosophy.  I may also miss something since LabVIEW "remembers" where stuff is for you.  Following the LabVIEW project method could make it difficult to bring a project back to life and also has the potential to leave some vis out of source code control (sub vis don't have to belong to a LabVIEW project).
    Does anyone have thoughts on this subject?  What is the most efficient way to ensure that all project items are in source code control and that all projects are retrievable and functional?
    Thanks,
    Greg Cloutier

    Greg,
    I'm not a VSS guru but I do know that currently there is no automatic functionality for checking in\out a project and all associated files from LabVIEW.
    As for finding the location of the vis that have been checked out, LabVIEW can display the full path of a vi from the project explorer. If you right click on a vi and then select properties, the General category will show the full path.
    There are a number of papers that do relate to using SCC with LabVIEW 8. check out Using Source Control Software with LabVIEW and that will link you to other documents as well.

  • RH8 with Visual Source Safe

    My client is looking to pl
    ace our RH8 project documentation on a visual source safe server. The documentation consists of restricted information.I've read some of the posts on RH with VSS but wonder how it's working today with RH8.

    Hi Kutra
    I'd like to preface that it's great RoboHelp has some ability to interface directly with source control systems.
    However, having said that, I'd also like to say that I'm a pretty staunch advocate of the "KISS" approach with things. (KISS=Keep It Surprisingly Simple) What you are stating sort of underscores the reasoning for my approach.
    By isolating the Source Control component and working with it separately, you typically don't encounter oddities such as the files disappearing from the FPJ. My own preferred way of working with source control is to open the source control interface, check out the project, open RoboHelp and make edits, close RoboHelp and the project, then use the source control interface to check the project back in.
    Call me crazy if you like but I've never encountered an issue with working that way. And when things go wrong (as they often do) you don't have that added layer of uncertainty wondering things like "is RoboHelp possibly causing the issue here by taking actions I cannot see?".
    Cheers... Rick

  • Does Captivate 3 play well with Visual Source Safe?

    I am using Captivate 3 at my company. Is it safe for two of us, both with licensed versions of Captivate 3, to check files into Visual Source Safe so we can each check them out to make changes? The subject matter experts (SMEs) want to be able to make changes to content. Our output is Flash/HTML.
    SAM

    Hi Sam
    I don't mean to sound snarky here, but if you already knew the answer, why did you bother to ask?
    VSS is something known as a Source Control system. This normally means you check SOURCE files in only. In Captivate, there is a single source file. That file is the .CP file.
    The other files you referenced (.SWF / .HTM / etc.) wouldn't typically be added to VSS.
    However, I am aware that some folks prefer to use VSS as a repository for their developers to also use when they build output. So in some cases I do understand that folks add their output files to Source Control. If this is the case for you, certainly you would want to include the output files.

  • Java and Microsoft Visual Source Safe

    Hi,
    We have content in text files stored checked in to Visual Source Safe.
    I want to provide a web interface that allows users to update this content.
    To do so I will need to programmatically check in/check out files from VSS.
    Has anybody implemented a similar system in Java? ideas where to start?
    Note: I am aware that Eclipse has a plugin for VSS so this must be possible
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks

    A similar situation like what I had a few weeks before.
    We will have an internal box that a user goes to and
    checks out a file via a web interface. I would have
    thought that only that box requires any kind of VSS
    plug in.
    Assuming i am stuck with VSS, then I would have hoped
    to be able to find an API that enables me to supply
    details of the VSS ini to establish a connection and
    then call simple methods like checkin() etc. Seems
    like its going to be a lot more complicated than that.SourceAnyWhere by Dynamsoft offers a pure Java client for VSS (both GUI client version and command line client version provided ). Have a look at http://www.dynamsoft.com/products/saw_overview.aspx
    It also provides a Java SDK for VSS ( I had not try this). I think the Java client would have solved the problem.
    HTH.

  • Visual Source safe XML corruption

    Hello Eveyone,
    I'm using visual source safe 6.0 to tie up the project.When i get the latest version,XML gets corrupted ie it has chinese characters.And when i load the screen,error occurs as "Data at root level is invalid".Has anybody experienced this problem.What is the solution,i didnt have this problem before source safe.But i definitely need to use source safe.
    Thanks in advance.

    How to do that,When i see the properties of XML, it gives the encoding as Unicode.In source safe there is no option to give it as unicode only text or binary.
    Where in sourcesafe should i mention it as Unicode because i add the whle solution to source control not on file to  file basis. Is this a known issue with Visual Source Safe.

  • Visual Source Safe keeps checking out my .cs file associated with a report

    Hello there.
    I am new in this community and I need some help. I am part of a team that works with Crystal Reports under .NET framework and we are using Ms Visual Source Safe. Any time we open a solution (.sln file) all .cs files associated  with a Crystal report are checked out. This, of course, drives all of us crazy. If I try to delete the .cs file, it is added automatically. And we could not find any solution to this problem.
    I compared the 2 .cs files (before and after check out) and the indeed differ. The namespace , to be more specific is different.
    I believe the problem is that we are using a separate project that contains the report files and then those .rpt files are added as links to the main project.
    So ... my question is... is there anyway I can tell Sourcesafe or Crystal report or any other program, application or person to stop checking out my .cs files or stop modifying them?
    Thank you.

    Hello  Don.
    Thank you for your answer.
    It seems I have SP1 already installed. I am referencing the following files with versions in my report project:
    CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine v12.0.2000.0
    CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework v12.0.1100.0
    CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore v12.0.1100.0
    CrystalDecisions.ReportSource v12.0.2000.0
    I personally believe that the problem is with the link files.
    To be more exact, I have several projects (csproj) that handle all reports and report loading. I also have several applications that refer these projects (not all in the same time). Because all .rpt files are loaded at runtime, I made these files Embedded resources and I created a folder in the main projects named Reports where I added all .rpt files as links.
    When I open main application A solution, all .cs files associated with the .rpt files are checked out (the namespace is modified to A).
    When I open main application B solution, all .cs files associated with the .rpt files are checked out (the namespace is modified to B).
    And so on.
    And since we are a team of several developers working with all main applications, this is rather annoying.
    I hope this presents my situation a little more clear.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks again

  • Metagen is skipped sometimes complaining because all output files are up-to-date with respect to the input files

    Hi,
    In one of my dll (VS2010), the process Skipping target "MetaGen" because all output files are up-to-date with respect to the input files.
    it is at  random.  I have checked the time stamps of the dll and metagen.write.1.tlog both having the time stamp on the failed build.  But all files in release folder did not have the same time.  They are one hour earlier than the dll
    and the  metagen.write.1.tlog.
    On the good build  it said the input file is is newer than output file ".\Release\\metagen.write.1.tlog" and allfiles in the release folder have same time stamp.
    Any clue to solve this ?
    Regards,

    and Visual Studio Editor.
     Could you please provide us more information so that we resolve your issue better?

    How was the

    What error messages did you get?
    What is the 'input file'?
    If possible, please provide us a sample project to reproduce your issue.

  • How do I checkin/unlock files that I checked out under a different computer name?

    My hard drive went bad. My IT department migrated me from windows 7 to windows 8 and also to a different user and computer name in a new domain. Now I cannot unlock files that were checked out on the old drive under the old domain user & computer.
    I tried running Visual Studio 2013 under the old user name (using Run as other user), but appears that the files are inaccessibly locked on the old and no longer existing computer name.
    John Mikesell

    Hi John,
    Based on your description, your TFS and current client machine in different domains.
    In this situation, you can contact your TFS administrator to make two-way trust between the two domains,  then add the current user account as a team member of your team project. After that, you can ask team project collection Administrators to
    unlock the file that your locked. Or ask the administrators to add your account to the group of "Project Collection Administrators". Then you can unlock the source files by yourseft after a workspace mapping on client machine. Check this
    page for more information about lock and unlock files or folders.

  • Visual Source Safe VI checked out but cannot edit

    I am using LabView 7.1 and Visual Source Safe (VSS). Previously, I have created several VI's and used VSS to manage them without a problem. I received a VI (and sub VIs) from another company location -- I copied them into my local directory -- and copied them from there into VSS.
    I then check out the files (using VSS or using LabView|Tools|SourceCodeControl ... I have tried both) but I am not allowed to edit the VI -- all I get is the "operate" cursor. VSS shows the VI as "checked out". My local directory shows that the VI file does not have the "R" attribute (read only) set. So I should be able to edit the VI, but I cannot. ????
    If I try to use LabView|Tools|SourceCodeControl to check the file out again ... I get an error, stating that I already have the file checked out, and I cannot check it out again. LabView seems to "know" that I have the file checked out, so what might be preventing me from editing it? [I tried different settings in the tool palette, but regardless of what is set, I only see the "operate" cursor when I try to work on the VI.]
    I am relatively new to LabView, and have only been using it with VSS for a couple of months now . . . . so it could easily be something simple that I am overlooking...

    Hi Rich,
    I'm happy that your issue was solved.
    Now, for the suggestion about placing the "Change to Edit/Run Mode" in the "Edit" menu - that DOES sound like an intuitive choice. However, I can also see the logic in having the menu item under the "Operate" menu - for choosing how to operate your front panel and block diagram.
    I would recommend you (and anyone else with good ideas) to submit your Product Suggestions through the 'feedback' link on www.ni.com/contact. Our R&D team will then look into the possibilities of implementing the feature in future versions of LabVIEW.
    We appreciate your ideas, thanks.

  • How can I see all files I have checked out?

    Is it possible to automatically check-in everything I
    currently have checked out with Dreamweaver? At work I have a very
    large site with hundreds of files in a complex directory structure.
    I probably have a dozen or so files currently checked out. Would be
    nice to just check in everything so I know I'm not preventing my
    co-workers from working on any files I accidentally left
    checked-out. Thanks!

  • Songs I recently downloaded are all Greyed out with a grey cloud next to them?

    Recently got an iTunes gift card for Christmas and was at my family's house. I went on their iTunes and signed into my Apple ID Account to use my new gift card under my Account. Everything went fine until I went home and opened my iTunes account on my PC Windows Computer. The recently Downloaded songs are ALL Greyed Out with a Cloud next to them? Now I can't play any of these NEW SONGS I just purchased?!?! PLEASE HELP ME!!

    I downloaded one of the file explorer programs (iFunbox in my case) for my PC and deleted everything out of the "Purchases" folder on the phone's "Raw File System". After a couple of syncs with iTunes everything was back to normal. It appears that something was screwed up on the iPhone side that iTunes couldn't sort out. I don't think anything could sync from iTunes to the phone, not just the greyed out items.
    This is why resetting and restoring the iPhone also works for a lot of people. It's overkill though, deletes your app data, and just wastes your time setting everything back up after the restore. Better to use the surgical approach of a file system explorer program on your PC to fix what appears to be a mundane data corruption issue.

  • Presentation Catalog not Checked Out with Multiuser Development

    I have 2 fact tables that belong to one Business Model that are then used to create 2 Presentation Catalogs. I created a project and added the fact tables, which shows the 2 Presentation Catalogs in the right pane to he project , and all looks well. But when I check the project out to my local machine, the Presentation Catalogs are not checked out. I do get the Business Model and Physical Layer, but no Presentation Catalog. Any ideas?
    I see in the Oracle docs that compound fact tables are not allowed in projects. I do not believe I have a compound table, but please tell me if I am wrong. In the Business Model and Mapping Layer, each fact table logical source lists only one physical fact table...but in the Presentation Layer, one of the catalogs does use 2 logical fact tables. Is this the problem?
    Thanks!

    I did not see such an option, I asked around, appears nobody knows, but I admit there could be a way.
    I still suggest opening an MS Connect so somebody from the development team would respond.
