Trouble with VS 2008?
If you are having trouble opening a project in VS?
It says the file have been download from the Team Foundation server, yet they are not. You may want to re-initialize Visual Studio.
Close VS.
Open the VS Command Prompt.
Enter the command: devenv /setup
With luck this will solve some of your problem. What exactly does it do? Oh the mysteries of Microsoft.
Visual Studio is not closing?
If VS refuses to close, then open the Task Manager.
In the Processes tab, kill all instinces of devenv.exe
Workspace cleaning can help speed things up.. if you are lucky.
Open the Pending Changes window (View | Other Windows | Pending Changes).
In the Workspace select box select 'Workspaces...
If you see more than one workspace you may be want to remove the ones you don't use.
Edit each one to view the Working Folders. It will show the Source Control folder and the Local folder.
If one of your workspaces has old info, remove it.
Cleaning up garbage always helps.
