Refreshing the project failed. Unable to retrieve folder information from the server
I've been using Visual Source Safe 6.0d with Visual Studio.NET 2003 for some time, but just lately I have been receiving the above error message. It hasn't caused me any problems so far but this morning I thought i'd do some digging to try and find a fix to this irritating message box that appears every time I load my VS solution.
I'm working against a remote dev server built on Win 2000 server and IIS 5 (all patched, and service packed up).
After some Googling I found that there is indeed a bug with VS.NET that will cause this message box if you have a folder named with a preceding '.' (e.g. c:\.foo\ ) - this seemed to be the for users controlling their source with an application called SubVersion. I'm not using SubVersion, so I carried on digging.
I came across this post on the Wrox forums and although it doesn't explain too much, it does in fact work!
I browsed to my Documents and Settings user folder (c:\Documents and Settings\actrw001\) and found the subdirectory, \VSWebCache . Upon opening this directory you are listed with another set of folders named after each server VSS has connected to. I took a chance and deleted the folder named the same as the server that i'm currently working on. Risky yes, but the rewards have been great. No more message box.
I should also clarify that my project does not contain any folders with the . prefix.
