Forrest, I do regular work on a project that uses TFS for version control and this is what I do... I have Visual Studio running on another machine (usually a VMware virtual machine) and do the checkout/checkin using VS on that machine. I've got the project folder shared and just open the files with BBEdit over the network if I'm going to do any substantial editing. For minor edits, it's quicker just to do the work in the VS editor. I set VS to deploy to the local machine for checking. Works alright for the most part. If you forget to checkout a file and start working on it in BBEdit, BBEdit will (helpfully!) ask you if you want to remove the file locking - do _not_ do this, but rather go back to VS and do the checkout there. TFS will throw a fit if something other than it mucks with the file locks. Also, make sure to create any new pages that have code-behinds, or any new directories from within VS. That will keep VS's project files in sync. HTH, -S --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BBEdit Talk" group.
