[p4] Perforce integration with VS .NET 2003

[Greg Whitfield]

I'm more familiar with VS 2005, but assuming they are quite similar in the
binding phase the one thing that you have to be really careful of is to
ensure that the top level of your client spec maps to the folder with your
solution file. If you don't do this, often VS fails to pick up the binding.

The caption on the screenshot says it all really.

Not sure if that is what you are seeing.

Other issues I have are that deleting files from a VS project does not
appear to open for delete in Perforce. You have to do this in a P4 client,
and for safety sake do it in this order:
	1. Remove the file from the solution/csproj in VS
	2. Exit VS
	3. Open for delete in P4 client
	4. Restart VS

Renamimg files are also dealt with like this.

One other thing that is an annoyance is adding new files to a project. VS
keeps its own local "new files" list but does not open for add in the P4
changelist until you actually submit. 

I think the integration is fine for simple open-for-edit/submit transactions
once you have the binding set up, but much more than that and things can
start to get a bit flakey.

Hi,

 

I wanted to ask if it's only me who is eating so much c#$% making Perforce
integrate with .NET 2003 IDE or is it something that is commonly known.

Adding a solution with 20 projects is half hour work per developer, with
errors, crashes and whatnot. I still have projects which I try to bind but
simply nothing happens!! It really drives me crazy. I don't know if I should
blame Perforce, Visual Studio or the SCC plugin, I lean towards VS because
the integration with Eclipse works like a charm.

 

If anyone has experience with this, I will be more that happy to hear about
it, at least so I won't feel I'm alone in this :-)

 

Thanks,

 

NirS
