Pending Changes in VS does not show new projects
When I add a new project to an existing solution in VS 2008 only the changes to solution file (.sln) is tracked by 'Pending Changes'.
I have to explicitly hit 'Refresh Sandbox Changes' to make 'Pending Changes' show the newly added files. Is this common behavior? WinXP SP2 VS 2008 SP1 RTC 2.0.0.2 iFix3 regards /anders |

And we're planning to handle this in one of our new share scenarios.

Thanks for your comments :-)
I've created a Defect describing the problem. /anders Hi Anders, |
Hi Anders,
I agree entirely with Geoff. Ideally, the project and the newly added files under it should appear automatically under pending changes. But currently user needs to either do a Save-All, or press Refresh manually on Pending changes view to see the changes. This is most likely due to proper notifications not being received from the VS environment, in case of a project add. I would suggest you create a workitem, and we can investigate further. |

Ideally, any change that you make through your IDE should be reflected
in the Pending Changes view without a refresh. If you aren't seeing this, I would suggest submitting a work item describing the cases where you aren't seeing this happen (such as the one you mention below). Of course, there are often implementation reasons why this might not be easy to achieve (if for example, Visual Studio does not send out a notification message in those cases), but it is still worth logging it as an issue. At a minimum, these cases needs to be documented in the release notes, so that a user can be warned about them. Cheers, Geoff On 8/30/2010 8:08 AM, atruelsen wrote: Hi Walter, |
Hi Walter,
I must be dim-witted, but how can it be expected behavior only to show part of the changes made to a workspace in pending changes? Addition of a single file is reflected immediately by Pending Changes while entire projects requires explicit refresh. In my mind to two situations are equivalent and should be treated the same way. regards /anders Hi Anders, When I add a new project to an existing solution in VS 2008 only the changes to solution file (.sln) is tracked by 'Pending Changes'. |
Hi Anders,
Yes. This is common behavior and one of the ways that it works. - Walter When I add a new project to an existing solution in VS 2008 only the changes to solution file (.sln) is tracked by 'Pending Changes'. |
