Binding with TFS

Post by KHupp »

I am trying to get Flare 9 to bind with TFS and I keep getting an error when Flare attempts the connection.
The error appears when I click finish on the screen that has Project Name and Project Folder on it.

The error is "The work space ABC12345;User Name already exists on computer ABC12345."

I click ok and it gives me the message; Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click Continue, the application ill ignore this error and attempt to continue.
Could not find 'C;\Flare Projects\Manual\cl\cl.flprj


This project was originally stored on a Surround SCM server and was moved to TFS.

Any ideas how to get this to work? I am not sure if the two are related but how do I get the project file to point towards TFS and not the Surround server it use to go too?

Thanks!


Follow up - Issue is Visual Studio / Team Foundation Server. We use VS 2013
The solution for older versions of VS is

1 - Open Visual Studio 2008 or 2010
2 - Select the 'File-->Source Control-->Workspaces' menu item
3 - Select the Workspace Name and Computer that is causing the above error
4 - Remove

For 2013, it would not remove the workspace in VS so I renamed the workspace something different from that of my computer name. Example - I "renamed" the workspace so that instead of "abc123" workspace and computer name being the same, I now have workspace "xyz do ray me" with computer name "abc123". That is all it took.
My guess here is that it is a naming conflict...
Either way, problem seems to solved.
