BUG: Incorrect Warning When Attempting to Add Data Connection (190754)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0

This article was previously published under Q190754

SYMPTOMS

You may see an incorrect warning message occasionally when attempting to add a data connection to a project. This will occur only in multi-user scenarios where more than one user is connected to the same project and project is being added to source control.

CAUSE

A lock is not getting cleared, indicating that the machine, which was adding the project to source control, was editing the file.

RESOLUTION

The user can choose Yes to the incorrect warning message, thus overriding the bogus edit lock being held by the other machine.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. User 1, create a Web project in local mode and add a data connection.
  2. User 2, connect to above created Web project.
  3. User 1, add the project to source control and then remove the project from source control.

    Note : the files Global.asa and De.asa are now read-only on this machine.
  4. User 2, add a data connection.
The user will now see a (Yes/ NO) warning prompt, which says the following:
   The De.asa is being modified by User1. Do you wish overwrite User1's
   edit ?
				
The message is incorrect as the files are not being modified by User1 at this point.
