I would like to tranfer a visual studio solution from one
machine to another, WITHOUT checking in checked-out files.

Anybody ever done this before, or know how to do it?

Thanks

Hi,

Copying of the whole solution folder to another machine and simple start
using it there might "just work" depnding on your VSS configuration and the
solution structure. If it doesn't then:
- Make sure multiple checkouts are enabled for your VSS DB
- Make a backup of your solution
- On the orig. machine go to File | Source Control | Change Source Control,
note your binding data, unbind the solution.
- Copy the solution folder to the new machine
- On the new machine, open the sln in IDE, go to ChangeSourceControl and
re-bind the solution to the original location.
- Check out files then you have modified and choose to LEAVE your changes.

1) Open up VS on the other machine
2) Open the solution from sourcesafe

seems like this might work /grin

Yes, this will work, but it will get what is checked in. The original post
I believe wants to transfer all the changes without checking them in.

You assumed that, and the original post says nothing of
the sort - but to answer that... my gosh! Just get the
changes and put them on the other computer manually.

If computer A has "updated" files checked out, then you
would need to have the "multiple-checkout" feature
enabled so that computer B can check out the same files
and spply the updates.

Otherwise, fire programer A for doing this in the 1st
place and hope programmer B does a better job of file
management.

Yes, Jim is correct, I forgot to mention that MukltipleCheckouts must be
enabled for the database.
