Recommended non exclusive files - visual studio 2012

[mrestuccia]

We are using Visual Studio 2012 / C#, etc.

main folder
---> packages
---> our project

We are experiencing constant lock issue btw machine.

Should we remove exclusive lock on .sln and .csproj for example.

Please advice,

mauro

Merging the .csproj and .sln is not standard practice, but you can make it happen with the .csproj.

You can add the .csproj file extension to the list of mergeable files in the Vault admin web page. While on the Vault admin web page, expand the source control repositories on the left, and then expand the repository that needs the change. Click on File Types. There you will see a list for mergeable file types. My making the .csproj mergeable, you will be able to check it out without an exclusive lock.

You do not want to add the .sln file type to that list. Microsoft Visual Studio seems to have an issue with that file being merged and it could cause your project to stop working.
