SYMPTOMS
The Visual Source Safe (VSS) integration behavior in Visual Studio .NET 2002 is different from that in Visual InterDev 6 (VID6). In VID6, the files are always automatically checked out when they are copied and pasted into the IDE if the targets already exist and are replaced by the source. In Visual Studio .NET, this is not the case.
NOTE: Always use the Get Latest Version command for the whole project before you add files or check in changes from the Visual Studio .NET IDE.

MORE INFORMATION
Steps to reproduce the behavior
On a computer that has Visual Studio .NET, VID6 and VSS6, installed, follow the steps for each program set.
VID6 and VSS6
- Create a blank solution named test.
- Add two Web projects to the solution; name them source and target.
- Add six Web pages (1.asp, 2.asp, 3.asp, 4.asp, 5.asp, and 6.asp) to the project named source.
- Add four Web pages (1.asp, 2.asp, 3.asp, and 4.asp) to the project named target.
- Set the solution and the two Web projects under VSS control, so that you have three different VSS projects in the VSS database: $/test, $/source.VI6, and $/target.VI6.
Set the status of the files as follows:
items | Source-Project | Target-Project ------------------------------------------- 1.asp | CheckedOut | CheckedOut 2.asp | CheckedOut | CheckedIn 3.asp | CheckedIn | CheckedOut 4.asp | CheckedIn | CheckedIn 5.asp | CheckedOut | (not existing) 6.asp | CheckedIn | (not existing)This chart lists all relevant combinations for the status of your two projects before you use the IDE Copy or Paste operations.
- In the VID6 project explorer, click to select all six asp pages in the source project, right-click the selection, and then click Copy.
- In the VID6 project explorer, right-click the target project, and then click Paste.
The result is the following:
items | Source-Project | Target-Project | before Paste | after Paste ------------------------------------------------------ 1.asp | CheckedOut | CheckedOut | CheckedOut 2.asp | CheckedOut | CheckedIn | CheckedOut 3.asp | CheckedIn | CheckedOut | CheckedOut 4.asp | CheckedIn | CheckedIn | CheckedOut 5.asp | CheckedOut | (not existing) | CheckedOut 6.asp | CheckedIn | (not existing) | CheckedIn
Visual Studio .NET and VSS6
Follow the steps in the "VID6 and VSS6" section. The result after the Paste operation appears as follows:
items | Source-Project | Target-Project
| before Paste | after Paste
--------------------------------------------------------------
1.asp | CheckedOut | CheckedOut | CheckedOut
2.asp | CheckedOut | CheckedIn | CheckedIn
3.asp | CheckedIn | CheckedOut | CheckedOut
4.asp | CheckedIn | CheckedIn | CheckedIn
5.asp | CheckedOut | (not existing) | CheckedOut
6.asp | CheckedIn | (not existing) | CheckedOut
When you use VID6, the Copy operation always results in a CheckedOut file status if the target already exists and is replaced by the source. If the target does not exist, the status of the source does not change.
When you use Visual Studio .NET, the result is different. The status of the target file remains as it was before the Paste operation if the file already exists in target, and the status of the target is always CheckedOut if the file does not exist in the target before the Paste operation.
