Problem sharing solution with Jazz in Visual Studio

VS 2005 and RTC 2.0.0.1 VS integration installed.
Jazz source control selected in options.

If I create a new VB project, there is no option to share from either TeamConcert->Jazz Source control, or when right clicking on the project in the Solution explorer. (Help claims that both should be there)

If I save a new project, there is the option to share with Jazz on the save panel.

If I open an existing non-shared project from disk, the option to share on save does not occur, thus I have no way to share it.

Turns out the ability to share is tied to solutions, not projects. If you cannot select the solution in the Explorer window, you cannot share. A single project does not display it's solution, at least not by default, so the appropriate context menu is not available.

What's the .Net framework version you're using with VS 2005?
RTC for Visual Studio minimally needs .Net 3.5.

Yes you're right, a jazz component is mapped to a solution in Visual Studio, so you share a solution in Visual Studio against a jazz component.
There are a couple of articles on the mapping if you're interested:

http://jazz.net/library/article/117
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/MovingToPartitionedSolution

One you've shared a solution, you get a shared menu option on any project that was subsequently added to it.

Finally, VS 2005 does not by default show the solution in the solution explorer if there's a single project in the solution, you need to set the "Always show solution" option in Options ->Projecta and Slutions.
