SccLocalPath

We are building a templating system for our developers, many of whom are on the green end of things especially when it comes to source control. And I think I just hit a roadblock with our plans....

We pull down a "template" of our solution and a couple of associated class libraries using the get command without setting a a working folder. On repository side, we share these class libraries where needed and then add the files / folders back to source control. Not working completely but I think we are ok here.

What I see as an issue is that the Visual Studio solution file also needs to be modified. We want this solution to be bound when the developer first opens it. Guessing that I need to get the correct GUID for the path within Vault and update the SccLocalPath value within the sln file.

As an example, within a test solution file, this is set as follows: SccLocalPath = "2~1b4f6049-0718-457d-be64-49d8581e92cc" I realize the the 2 is the repository ID. Is there any way that I can get a GUID given a path?

Really hoping so. If not, is there a better approach to any of this?

Thanks,

-Andy

I think I figured this one out. Using VS2008 with the enhanced client (v4.1.1), there is no binding in the SLN file. Rather this is accomplished through the working folder setting within Vault itself.

That's correct. That GUID identifies the repository, not a path.
