visual studio .net general : The solution appears to be under source control, but its binding information cannot be found
error on several projects when I try to open them. This is a relatively new computer so it's possible I haven't actually opened these projects since building the system and restoring these project files from a tape backup. I've seen a blog entry on this suggesting I rebind the solution to VSS, but after this error (and a couple more) during startup there are no VSS related menu entries available with which to try the fix. Here's the complete text of the message: ========= The solution appears to be under source control, but its binding information cannot be found. It is possible that the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file or another item that holds the source control settings for the solution, has been deleted. Because it is not possible to recover this missing information automatically, the projects whose bindings are missing will be treated as not under source control. ========= The next error text: ========= The project Setup.vdproj appears to be under source control, but no source control provider is installed on this computer. Source control integration will be disabled for this project. ========= The final error text: ========== Some of the properties associated with the solution could not be read. ========== Another possibility is that I've just installed VS 2005 RC1; however I'd think Google would have produced more hits if this were the culprit. So, anyone know the cause/fix for this problem? Thanks in advance, Bill

I run into this problem frequently, as I often VPN to my work machine and copy projects or update files on my home machine from the work machine, and my work machine uses a LAN SourceSafe database, while my home machine uses its own local SourceSafe database. In addition, we have a graphics guy here who occasionally needs updates which I copy directly to his machine. I have found that it is possible to re-bind a project which has been "corrupted" in this way to an existing SourceSafe database, as long as the SourceSafe project has the same folder/file configuration, and the same file names in it. I do this by removing all binding information from the project/solution in Visual Studio.Net, and then binding it to the existing SourceSafe project. From time to time it is also necessary to re-synchronize the code, by checking an item out of the SourceSafe project without updating the local file, or by adding a new file into the SourceSafe database. All of this can usually be done from within Visual Studio.Net. -- HTH, Kevin Spencer Microsoft MVP ..Net Developer I'd rather be a hammer than a nail.

These files were backed up from the old machine, then restored to the new machine. On both the old and new machines I was referencing the same VSS database (on another machine on the LAN.) So, the VSS *is* there (and I can open the VSS client on the new machine with no problems.) Also, the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file is in fact there on the new machine. I can't "rebind" the project/solution because there is no [Source Control] menu item on the File menu. The blog seems to be oriented towards "cleaning up" a copied project that is no longer under source control. In my case it IS (or should be) under source control -- so I just want to restore that functionality. I don't understand how this can happen. I'm hoping I don't have to edit all those files in EVERY project on the new machine!! Any suggestion as to how I should proceed?

It occurred to me that a "simple way" to solve this problem might be to simply recreate the on disk folder structure via a "get latest" from VSS. So, I deleted the old folder and did the get latest, creating the new folders as necessary. Sadly when I load the solution file I get the same message. Note that this project/solution works fine on another machine. It seems to me that if one is unable to do this via VSS then there is something fundamentally wrong. I've got VS.Net set up to use VSS as the source control provider. What could be causing this problem?

Hi Bill,
Could you let me know how you backup the VSS database? Using the VSS backup wizard, or just copy the projects? You can try to delete the local folder again and in the VS.NET, select File/Source Control/Open from source control to open the solution. If the VSS server cannot be bound during openinig, you can just disconnection all the projects from the server. HTH.

Actually, although the Source Control menu item is on the File menu, all the SC items are disabled. What might be causing that?

The KB article doesn't help because Step 5 tells me to use a menu selection that is disabled in my menu. Checking VS2003's Tool|Options\Source Control settings I find that things look "right"; i.e., Visual Source Safe is specified. Any other suggestions?

Sorry I couldn't be more help. I certainly don't like to have to resort to
that sort of tactic, although it sometimes works.
