visual studio .net general: Hi.

When we open a solution that contains multiple projects, Visual Studio wants
to save the sln file and one of the csproj files when the solution is
finished loading. If we let Visual Studio save the files and look at them
afterwards the only thing that has changed is the date when the file was last
modified. We have the same problem when building from the command line.

Since our files are in source control and not checked out Visual Studio
can't write to the files if we don't do a checkout. The checkout operation is
a manual step. When building from the command line this error will stop the
buildprocess.

This error doesn't occur on all solutions, but I can't figure out what the
difference is between a solution that works well and the ones that are
failing.

Do you have any suggestions what might be wrong?


Regards,

hello Kai,

You may create a new blank solution and add the particular project in your
original solution (whose csproj file was changed), and then compile this
solution with command line, will this also generate the problem? If so, we
may perform further research on this project to see what cause the problem.

Sincerely,

Luke Zhang

Hi Kai,

That doesn't sound good!

Has it ALWAYS done that, or if not, when did it start doing that? In
general we tend to keep solutions local and we only put projects under
source control. We've been running a long time with this setup without
any issues.

You could try a new solution, then add some test projects, see if you
get the same problem.
