  VSS overwrites local files whenever web project is opened

  Apr 29, 2009 08:06 PM|LINK

  Hi

  I am experiencing a strange problem binding my web project from Visual Studio (VB.NET) to Visual Source Safe.  Whenever I open the solution file, it retrieves files from VSS and overwrites my local files - losing all my changes!.  But all checkin/checkout works asusual.  I have no clue why it happens like this.  And it happens to this particular web project; if I open other web projects, it is fine.  The workaround I have now is to checkin files before closing the solution.

  I cannot remove the project from VSS to try to create fresh because I am afraid that it will lose all history and labels etc for the project.

  Could someone help me to figure out the cause.

  Thanks!
