I have very little idea on SSIS and controlling this using VSS (Visual Source Safe). I have a requirement in my project to go through a few SSIS solutions/Projects. Can someone please help me how can I access this and view as a proper setup. Below is the rough structure of the VSS
Project1
-Project1 : has file.sql, Project1.sln, Project1.vssscc (please help me understand this)
-dbBuild : has db_build.dbp, db_build dbp.vspscc
-dbStaging
and so on.
I would open VSS and navigate to the Project folder. Then I would right-click the Project folder and choose Get Latest Version.
You will be prompted to set the Working folder - I normally create a new folder on the Dev machine's hard drive e.g. C:\Dev\MyProject. I would check the options for Recursive and then Build tree.
This will effectively create a copy of the latest VSS content in the hard drive folder, which you can then open using Visual Studio.

I am attempting to publish an application from visual studio that has files in the solution. After instilling the program and executing it I get this error.
Could not find file
'C\Users[User Name]\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\7D4MADG.G94\9BLZYH2N.QOP\wdts..tion_0000000000000_0003.0000_8e564612a360b47a\wdAttrColSettings.xml
I need to know what I need to do to have the files in the Solution Items folder put in the wdts..tion_0000000000000_0003.0000_8e564612a360b47a folder when the application is installed.
In my brief experimentation in Visual Studio 2019, it doesn't look like you can copy Solution Items to the output directory.
This is, presumably, because there's no actual project (i.e. MSBuild or whatever) that would define those actions.
If you put those files inside one of the projects, you can use the "Copy to Output Directory" property.
I made a goof and renamed my SSIS package without fully understanding what I was doing. Now I get "one or more solutions couldn't be added..." I then go to my solution explorer and no solutions are there. Please note that I've been working on this project for 6 months. I checked the project obj folder and all my solutions are there. I'm pretty sure I have to rename something else. Will somebody please help me. I am an intern and am FREAKING OUT.
Let's examine what's happening. I am using SSIS 2012 in this example but the steps will be the same for 2005 to 2014. This assumes you have turned off "hide file extensions".
Visual Studio is an Integrated Development Environment, IDE, for developing software. The outermost concept is a Solution. See 1 below. Solutions solve a problem as a whole. A solution might need multiple tools to solve a problem. A tool in this case, is a Project (#2). Depending on the type of project, different folders and such will appear in section 3. This is an example of an SSIS project.
If you don't see your solution, there's a question for that Solution Folder Not Showing in Visual Studio 2010 - How Can I Make It Visible?
If I Rename the project JeffOrris to JeffOrris2 and close Visual Studio, it will prompt me to save changes to JeffOrris.sln (and optionally, the project). If I click No, when I reopen the solution, I am greeted with the following error message along with Visual Studio indicating that my project JeffOrris is unavailable. :'(
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
One or more projects in the solution were not loaded correctly.
Please see the Output Window for details.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
To start fixing things, you have to get Visual Studio to play ball. You can do this one of two routes. The first is to Add the renamed project back into the solution. Add... Existing Project... and then find your .dtproj file (or .whatever it was with 2005/2008) Assuming that loads fine, you can right click on the one that isn't loading and select Remove. Then click "Save All" or Ctrl-Shift-S
Option 2, which is what I do is to go mucking about with files. Find where your .SLN is. If your project is still open, it will indicate it under properties but once it's bolloxed then you'd need to right click and choose Open Folder in File Explorer.
However you get here, look at what you have.
A solution is represented on disk by a .sln file. That's a text file, might be UTF-8 but it's human readable text. The .suo file is binary that keeps track of what you have open and such. It doesn't matter, the .sln does.
Take a peek inside your solution file. Knowledge is only good for you
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
# Visual Studio 2012
Project("{159641D6-6404-4A2A-AE62-294DE0FE8301}") = "JeffOrris", "JeffOrris\JeffOrris.dtproj", "{631559E9-5ED5-4F63-B74E-BFB6CBAE89C5}"
EndProject
Global
GlobalSection(SolutionConfigurationPlatforms) = preSolution
Development|Default = Development|Default
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms) = postSolution
{631559E9-5ED5-4F63-B74E-BFB6CBAE89C5}.Development|Default.ActiveCfg = Development
{631559E9-5ED5-4F63-B74E-BFB6CBAE89C5}.Development|Default.Build.0 = Development
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(SolutionProperties) = preSolution
HideSolutionNode = FALSE
EndGlobalSection
EndGlobal
Of importance is the line starting with Project. That says I, the Solution, have a Project called JeffOrris and the project file can be found, relative to my location, at Folder called JeffOrris and inside there a file named JeffOrris.dtproj
The "trick" then is to make your subject and verbs agree. Or in this case, make your Solution and your .dtproj file agree. That'd be #6 below. After saving the solution file, Visual Studio should prompt you to reload it and whoosh, your project is back.
If you have inadvertently renamed the .dtproj file, then you can rename it back. Again, save all
I am using FDT 5 and would like to create a new project with already existing source files and assets. When I start up the Project Wizard (New->FDT Project) I browse to the folder I want to make as the project but I cannot proceed as FDT gives me the error:
*"PROJECT_NAME overlaps the location of another project: PROJECT_NAME"*
I have downloaded a flash project (developed in FDT) and would just simply like to make it a project in my FDT environment.
I mean this shouldn't be so complicated right? I don't want to create an entirely new project (its own folder) I want to use the same folder I downloaded and view that project. I am using git so I have to work in the same path, sort of speak.
Any ideas?
EDIT:
Apparently this is an issue with FDT, a small bug. I managed to solve the problem following this:
FDT / Eclipse Error : ‘overlaps the location of another project’
And on the eclipse forum:

Flash builder project files can't be opened on another computer even if the files were copied, for e.g. through version control like git or svn.
Importing and Exporting fxp projects is not possible as we do not want to overwrite files for git or svn unnecessarily.
How do people collaborate on Flash Builder projects without creating new project in Flash Builder and having to set up all the settings for the project again and again for multiple collaborators?
If you import the project using its folder location as per #Sean Fujiwara answer then:
One useful way to collaborate in Flash Builder projects is to utilise environment variables. You can access these using - Window > Preferences > General > Workspace > Linked Resources:
From here you can add a new variable or edit an existing one, from the example above you can see that we use a FRAMEWORK_SOURCE variable which points to the source for our shared framework code, we use a swc but this is handy for debugging errors.
We also have another variable called OUTPUT_FOLDER which in our case points to a folder where we run our project over localhost see example below, to use this in a project, you go to right click project name > Properties > ActionScript Build Path, here you enter the folder name you want creating inside the folder that OUTPUT_FOLDER points to:
When you do a Project > Clean from the menu, all resources from your html-template folder will be copied across to this folder and it should open in a browser.
Now we have been able to check in to SVN our .project and .actionScriptProperities files with few issues. When someone new to the project checks them out, they will get an Error in the Problems panel telling them they don't have for example - OUTPUT_FOLDER\MyProjectName, therefore the project leader should have a document listing all the required variables to be setup in your environment.
Other things you can share are paths to raw font files etc.
The only problem I've had with this approach is sometimes it asks for the path to the SDK if it is different from your location, not had chance to figure this one out yet.
Flash builder project files can't be opened on another computer even
if the files were copied, for e.g. through version control like git or
svn.
Flash builder projects can be imported into the workspace just like other Eclipse projects.
Once you copy them to another computer:
Right click in package explorer and go to Import....
Select General/Existing Projects into Workspace.
Select the folder containing the .project directory.
If you make sure Copy projects into workspaces is deselected, you can commit the files directly from wherever you checked the code out.
This is now solved in Flash Builder 4.7 where you can actually import the project folder as is.
I installed Aptana Studio 3 on my windows machine.
I created new WEB Project but when I expand my Proj folder I can see only "Connection" tab. Nothing else. What is the prob? what should I do to get all the files?
Forgive me if the following is what you already did but I was not certain what steps you took from your question/post ... I'm going through the standard steps for creating an HTML 5 Web Project with the Boilerplate templates:
Open Aptana ( duh :) )
File -> New -> Web Project
Provide a Project Name and select your directory if you don't want the default used
Press Next
Select the checkbox for 'Create the project using one of the templates'
Select the HTML5 Boilerplate (use the cached one - I can never get the other, networked one to work)
Select Finish
You should now see the new project and all its default files in your App Explorer view in Aptana.
If you followed those steps but it still fails, I would file a bug (or, at the least, check the existing issues with Aptana) at:
http://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/APSTUD (bugs)
