Source control of the vbproj.user file

The <ProjectName>.vbproj.user file belonging to VB.net projects which are integrated to Visual Source Safe appear to be excluded from such integration. Thus, when a project is retrieved from source control (to, for instance, an empty folder or a PC to which the project has not previously been retrieved) the settings maintained in this file are not applied. I particularly wish to maintain the StartProgram settings (which launch my UnitTest application). Any ideas?
 
Hi,

This is by design for Visual SourceSafe integration to Visual SourceSafe.
If you perform a get from the VSS Explorer these files are not retrieved
because they are not included in the project when added to VSS by the .NET
IDE.

When adding projects from the Visual Studio .NET IDE to Visual SourceSafe
via the integration menus in VS.NET, any user specific files are excluded,
including the *.suo and any *proj.user files. These are user specific
files that will change depending on the user actively developing the
application. If you use the VS.NET IDE to open the solution/project from
VSS, these files are automatically regenerated based on the current user
opening these files.

I hope this helps!
