Attention: July CTP Source Control and Web Site developement

If you are doing Web Site development and the Web Site is under Source Control in Visual Studio, we do not recommend that you download and install the July CTP (see issue below)

The Problem
When you open a Web Site that is under source control in Visual Studio, it fails to get registered with Source Control. You will see the following error:
"The project '<path>' is under source control. An error occurred registering this project with source control. It is recommended that you do not make any changes to this project."

That means that although you can still work with the Web Site in Visual Studio, you will not have access to all the source control commands (check in, check out, etc)

The Workaround
The only way to correct this is to re-bind the project via File->Source Control->Change Source Control; select the Web Site in question and navigate to the path in your Source Control store where the Web Site content is. You will need to repeat this workaround every time you open the Web Site.

-
This issue showed up briefly in our builds, and unfortunately got out with the CTP. This has already been corrected on our internal builds.

Apologies for any inconvenience,

Will this bug affect us if we intend to use Visual Studio 2005 July CTP with the version control in Team Foundation Server July CTP?

Yes, this issue will affect any version control system that integrates as a Visual Studio Source Control Plug-In.

Well that's going to completely kill the full scale testing we were planning to do. I'd use Beta 2, but some significant bugs that were causing us grief are now fixed in the July CTP.

How can Microsoft make July CTP drop 3 - Visual Studio Team Suite available without the version control working for websites? Will this be fixed before drop 3 happens or are we out of luck until the next CTP?

Thanks for your quick replies Alfredo.

Hello,

I'm sorry this is interfering with your testing plan. Keep in mind that CTPs are not fully tested and are lower than beta quality.

The good news is that it won't be long until we have the August CTP out, it is currently slated for the second week of August.

For that build, this issue will be fixed.

Regards,
