Using VS 2005 + VS 2005 to develop web project and set up a shadow
folder for this project, however each time I check-out and check-in files,
the shadow folder won't be updated automatically. Is it normal? or need
to sync the shadow folder manually?

Do you have a server with the database and you are working in another
PC?
If thats write, you should do the following things:
- Share the destination folder (The shadow folder).
- Configure your shadow folder with an address like this
\\<SERVERNAME>\<SharedFolderName>
if you place an address like c:\myShadowFolder de VSS explorer will
create this folder in your local machine and will shadow copy the files
in this folder.

I expect this helps you.

PS: Sorry my bad english.

Not even from the VSS explorer.
