The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0
  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (2003), Professional Edition
  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (2003), Enterprise Architect Edition

  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (2002), Enterprise Developer Edition
  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (2002), Academic Edition
  • Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows 6.0

SYMPTOMS

After you add your Windows-based application project to Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, you receive a Check Out For Edit dialog box if you do the the following things:
  1. You do not check out the project.
  2. You open the Items collection editor to modify the items.
  3. You click Cancel to discard the changes.
The file that you are working on may also become corrupted.

CAUSE

When you use the Items collection editor to modify any items, and you click Cancel, Visual Studio .NET incorrectly tries to make changes to the underlying code. However, the code is in a file that is checked in under Source Control. You must check out the file before you can modify it. Therefore, you receive the Check Out For Edit dialog Box.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, click Cancel on the Check Out For Edit dialog Box.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
