Removal from Source Control

Hello...

I need to recover an old backup of a solution (with 3
projects) that was under source control.

I thought I removed all that was needed however I get the
following error message when I open the solution...

The solution appears to be under source control, but its
binding information cannot be found. It is possible that
the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file or another item that holds the
source control settings for the solution, has been
deleted. Because it is not possible to recover this
missing information automatically, the projects whose
bindings are missing will be treated as not under source
control.

How do I unbind my solution from the source control and
remove this error?

TIA,
Mike Slattery
 
Hi Mike,

Thanks for your post. The following is a listing of the currently supported
steps to remove source control information for a VS.NET project:

1. Open the project (or solution) in Visual Studio .NET
2. Click the File menu
3. Click the Source Control menu
4. Click Change Source Control
5. Select the project (or solution), click "unbind"

Repeat step 5 for any remaining projects that need to be unbound from
source control

6. Click OK to dismiss the "Change source control" dialog
7. Save the project (or solution)

This will effectively remove the source control information from the
unbound solution or project.

Please let me know if this addresses your request.

Have a nice day!

Unfortunatly that does not work....
I found a manual way of editing the .proj files...

Thanks for trying!

Ditto Mike's problem. The File -> Source Control menu disappears when
I open the solution. Could someone post the manual edit (or another
solution)?
