visual studio .net ide : Is it bug in VS.NET 2003?

Hi!

I have a Visual C++ project that is under source control (Rational ClearCase) and want to add new source files to the project. The files are also under source control.

Every time I try to do it using “Add Existing Item…” I get the warning:

There already exists an item with the same name under source control.
If you continue with the add, this item will automatically assume the identity of the item under source-control.

Do you wish to proceed with the add anyway?

<Add the Item><Cancel Add><Help>


If I choose "Add the Item" (I need it!) nothing happens: i.e. I don't see the file in the solution explorer.

What's the problem? Have anyone already seen something like this?

Alexander,

I've seen the dialog you mention when using Visual Source Safe. I can tell
you that when you select "Add Item" in VSS you'll see that the item is
added to source control and the project. I'm therefore suspect of Rational
ClearCase. Check their knowledge base or give their support a call as the
source control is responsible for telling the IDE if the operation is
successful. In this case it looks like the source control provider is
returning information to VS.NET that the item should not be added.

Thanks! Robert Gruen
