Okay, here's what needs to happen. Each team member will follow these steps to fix the current issues. You only have to do this once:
For Visual Studio 2010 Users:
1. Open Visual Studio. Connect to Team Foundation Server using the same credentials as always. If it does not automatically prompt you for your password, you can find this under the Team menu. Connect to the Codeplex server.
2. Go to Source Control Explorer (this can be found under the View>Other Windows menu)
3. Expand tfs.codeplex.com\TFS14
4. Right click on tidenv, and select "Remove Mapping." Click "Remove Mapping" in the dialog box that opens.
5. Go to your local copy of tiDE and delete the entire folder. (For me, it's
\tidenv).
6. Back in Visual Studio, right click on tidenv, and click "Get Latest Version"
7. In the dialog box that appears, enter
\tidenv for the folder if you have a
partition on your hard drive. If you don't, use C:\tidenv.
This should fix the problems on your local machine. This is how we will keep these problems from occurring again:
Every time you sit down to work on tiDE, you
will follow these steps. If you do not, we will get another problem like the one that required two hours of my time to fix.
1. Open Visual Studio.
2. Connect to Team Foundation Server, the same way as described above.
3. Open Source Control Explorer.
4. Expand tfs.codeplex.com\TFS14
5. Right click on tidenv and click "Get Latest Version"
6. Expand tidenv, and click on "tiDE"
7. In the right hand panel, double click on tiDE.sln to open the project
8. Code. Make your changes to tiDE like you would a local project, and Visual Studio will automatically keep track of your changes.
Before you close Visual Studio, you must proceed to step 9.9. If the Pending Changes panel is not visible to you, open it in the View>Other Windows menu.
10.
Add a comment to the text box on top. You should see a summary of your changes on the bottom panel of this window. If you don't see this, make sure that the top icon of those on the left is selected. If you should ever need to revert your changes to the server version, right click the appropriate file and click "Undo."
11. Once you have a comment, ensure that
every file is selected, and click on Check-In. You can quickly select all files by clicking the top file, Shift+Clicking the bottom file, and toggling the check mark on all of them at once.
12. After clicking check-in, your changes will be added to the server at Codeplex. Even if a feature is unfinished, or you are only partially done working, please do this anyway. You are now free to close Visual Studio.
I will add instructions for SharpDevelop users once I get them figured out. I'm not too experienced with SharpDevelop on Source Control.
All of the team has been temporarily revoked write-access to the TFS server. Once I get confirmation that you understand and will follow these instructions, I will grant write-access again.
tl;dr: This is important. Read the whole damn thing.
