I am in the process of migrating our code from VS6 to VS2005 with Source Control going from VSS to TFS.

We are building separate DLLs that form our overall products, but I regard each DLL as a separate product. This means that we have lots of shared source files in the existing projects, where the sharing is handled by VSS.

Moving to TFS means that Sharing is no longer an option - so I want to just copy all of the shared source files to a single location and re-link the solutions to those as I port them from VS6.

Unfortunately, my directory hierarchy isn't allowing me to do this. For example, our solution for Socket communications component is at:

Claricom/Transport Layer/CLSocket

but the Common Files folder is at:

Claricom/Common Files

When I add the common file to the solution, it adds but it isn't added to Source Control (due to Project Bindings).

I think that I need to create a blank solution (in Claricom folder) called CLSocket and then just add the files to that - however I am currently pulling in the Project file and converting.

Any suggestions?
