Source control options - editing checked in files - options dont ...


I have tried to set the source control options such that when editing a checked in file it is automatically checked but I have had no luck. I was not successful with the other options either such as prompt for check out.

When I tried to edit a check in file the editor persisted in putting up the dialog box that asked if I wanted to edit in memory or make the file writable. When I checked the box that made it not come up, adjusting the source control options will no longer bring it up.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Are you trying to open files from Source Control Explorer or Solution Explorer? Those options only apply to files in the active solution.

With enough experimentation I have found that out. In addition it looks like the file in question must also be bound to the source control. And I agree with a previous post I didn't find until just now; it would be nice to have it apply to any file.

That is a feature we are considering for a future release.
