Hello, I am switching from vss to TFS, and using visual studio 2003. Everything seems to be working correctly, except for the checkin/checkout windows.

I re-bound my solution and project files to TFS and now I can check in and check out from within Visual studio 2003. But, when I check in a file I first see the old "checkin" dialog box where I enter a checkin comment and click check in. After I click the button, ANOTHER dialog comes up, which is the newer style TFS checkin dialog and I need to click check in again.

Is this normal that I will see two dialogs every time I check in a file?

Another problem comes up when I checkin multiple files. I see the normal (old style) checkin dialog, which lists all of the files I am about to check in, But after I click check in, I get a dialog window (new TFS style) for each file I am checking in. So If I am checking in 20 files, I get 20 dialog boxes.

Is this normal operation for the MSCCI provider in visual Studio, or is something screwed up on my machine? Anyone run into this before?

Thanks a lot.

Hello,

unfortunately what you see are limitation of the Msscci spec. The first (old) dialog is popped up by the IDE, the second one - by the provider. The reason we are displaying the second one is that we wanted to provide a way to specify work items, checkin notes, see policy alerts.

The second issue is also a known one (and described in the readme.txt). If the files are in different projects, or in different locations (in web project) they will be checked in different changesets, during different SccCheckin calls (and each of them will pop up the dialog).

Hope this helps
