Undesired Checkout Resources pop up in CCRC integrated with VS2008

Question

Hi,

I have clearcase integrated with Visual Studio 2008. Everytime, I open a solution, I get Checkout Resources pop ups for the solution file and the project files within. I have to click on 'Cancel' several times before my solution is loaded.

Also when I build the project, I get the checkout resources pop up.

This is really annoying.

Anyone with a solution to prevent these unrequired Checkout Resources pop ups?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Did you try to:

• add that solution file to the .ccexclude file (to make it ignored by the cc-VS2008 integration)
• checkout/checking said solution file only outside the integration (in a full CC client, not from the VS GUI): the reasoning being "you do not have to change that solution file all that often"

Notes:

• I am not familiar with VS projects, so I could be wrong in the update frequency of a solution file.
• this would solve at least unsolicited checkout only for that file.
