"Open from Source Control" Problem

Hello,

I have problems to open a solution for Source Control using the menu item "Open from Source Control". Does this feature already work?

Regard
Stephan

It is supposed to work. There are some known problems in Beta2 where Open From Source Control will fail if the project was added without adding the solution.

Can you provide some more information about what you see when it fails?

Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,

thank you for the fast reply. Sorry, but there are no more information.
I tried the typical workflow:
"Create new Windows Application -> Add solution to Source Control ->Checkin-> Log off -> Log on with other user account->Open from Source Control->Choose correct workspace->Choose solution file->Open". Then an error message occured: "Modul not found", and no more information else.

The "Modul not found" error message also occures at simple Ceckin/Ceckout operations, but succeed.

Any idea, which modul is meant?

Thanks
Stephan

Unfortunately, I'm not sure which module it is referring to. This sounds like it might be a setup issue. Does the first user account encounter these "Module not found" errors when doing Checkin/Checkout or is it only the second user account?

Does the "Module not found" occur if you go to Tools->Options->Source Control->Visual Studio Team Foundation?

On Checkin and Checkout does the error appear before or after the Checkin/Checkout dialog appears?

Thanks,
Ben

It sounds like you have a configuration/setup problem with that other account.

From the user account that did successfully add the solution to source control, try creating another workspace and Open From Source Control into that workspace (there is a combo box to pick the workspace).

Hi Ben,

it's nice to hear you saying you're "not sure which module" is meant :). It sounds like you've an idea.

Here what you asked for:

Does the first user account encounter these "Module not found" errors when doing Checkin/Checkout or is it only the second user account?
Both users do.
Does the "Module not found" occur if you go to Tools->Options->Source Control->Visual Studio Team Foundation?
No, this works fine.
On Checkin and Checkout does the error appear before or after the Checkin/Checkout dialog appears?
It appears after check in/out is already done. The dialog is opened ->check in/out progress is shown ->dialog is closed-> error occures

Thanks

Stephan

Hi Tim,

thank you for reply. I thried your solution, but I got the same trouble. It seems not to be a configuration problem of the user account.

Hmm...

We're going to need to know what module it can't find.

One good way to track this down is to use FileMon from http://www.winternals.com to log file operations.

Once you've got it running:
Filter the output to just devenv.exe.
Start a trace just before you hit open from source control.

It could also be a bad registry key. Fortunately the good folks at Winternals have a tool called RegMon that will do the trick. It works the same as FileMon - filter to devenve.exe and start a trace just before you hit open from source control.

Let us know what you get.

You may be right that it could be a bad reg key. I tried FileMon and all seems to be right. The only line I was suspisious about was this:

OPEN D:\WINDOWS\Lib.sln NOT FOUND Options: Open Sequential Access: All

Why does devenv.exe search my solution at the windows directory ?!

I'm going to try out RegMon this weekend. Perhaps it leads me to the result. I let you know.

So long

Hi,
you have been right, it was a bad reg entry. The devenv.exe searchs oledb32.dll under E:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\System\Ole DB\oledb32.dll, and E:\ is my DVD drive. I changed it to D:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\System\Ole DB\oledb32.dll and now all works fine.

Thank you all for taking the trouble.

So long

Stephan

Cool! Glad it worked out. Do you have any idea how that might have gotten messed up? Did you change your drive letters perhaps?
