Recently, I had a “server binding” “status=invalid” in TFS when moving quite a bit of files from CVS to TFS.
The most problematic where getting the solution, and a webservice project correctly.
The FAQ on solution binding indicated I should fix my workspace (which is simple: just a root directory), so that was not of much help.
I tried various other things, but in the end, the easiest fix was to:
- rename the directories of the bad solution and project,
- create an empty solution
- create an empty ASP.NET web site project
- then move all of the old files to the new directory structure
Moving files around from within Visual Studio is a tedious process: you can only move one file at a time.
TF to the rescue: it allows you to call perform TFS tasks from the commandline.
Time to automate that with a little batch file. Read the rest of this entry »
