Visual Studio.NET and SourceSafe

[caldenerd]

We had a hierarchy for our project which includes files from directories
closer to the root than the project's directory. Life was good with Visual
Studio 6. When I add a file in Visual Studio.NET, it gives the following
message:

"Some of the files you are adding to your project are located outside of the
project's binding root. These files cannot be source controlled unless they
are moved."

Why was this BUG added to .NET? Was it to ensure that no one uses WinCVS
rather than SourceSafe? Is there a workaround, or do I have to use
SourceSafe links to make duplicate files in the project's binding root?

Thanks,
Cal

I think this article should explain what's going on.

Please reply with the version of Studio you're using so I can try to
understand which scenario you're experiencing.
