clIVSSLibrary.CheckOutItem cannot get the last version to replace the existed file in working folder

Question

Hi all,

I develop an application, which implements functionalities of VSS 2005 on web application. such as check out, check in, and so on.

But when I invoke the function

public string CheckOutItem(string ItemToCheckOut, string CheckOutPath, ref string Comment, int Flags);

And set the flags as

FlagRecursiveNo();
FlagGetLocalCopyYes();
FlagMultipleCheckOutNo();

The question is that the file in the working folder does not be replaced by last version when invoke CheckOutItem(...)

For example, the file in working folder with the version is V1. VSS has the last version is V2. When I check out it successfully, but the file is still V1. The expected is that the file is replaced by V2.

How to handle it?

Hi ENRE CORPORATION,

All the code you posted is about OneNote. But what I want is about VSS 2005.

Does others have any idea?

Thanks,

Joey

Answer 3

Please check the local files attributes, try to add use ReplaceLocalReplace flag.

On the other hand, could you please try to test this action via VSS client first?
