I have developed an in-house VS Extension that I would like to make it easy to update for the user. I've already worked out checking for new version and downloading the file. I would like to have VS auto-update from the downloaded file on next startup. Is that possible? If so, how?
Is there a folder I can drop a .vsix file that will cause Visual
Studio to update from that file the next time it opens?
I think you want to make a private vs extension gallery that contains the extensions only for your internal staff.
If so, you could just create such gallery by Jason said.
1) create a folder that only access to your internal staff or create a sharePoint site that is hosting the private gallery..
2) put all vsix files in that folder and then download PrivateGalleryCreator.exe. Put PrivateGalleryCreator.exe into the folder.
After that, click on the program to generate the feed.xml file.
3) enter Tools-->Options->Environment-->Extensions and Updates. Click Add, rename the new gallary and copy the full path of the feed.xml into URL.
Remember to click Apply to enable the URL.
Based on it, you can find the extensions on the new Gallery for all the internal staff.
Also, you can check this document.
Besides, if you want to auto-update these extensions, you should enable the auto-update options under Tools-->Options-->Environment-->Extensions and Updates.
When I right-click some files of my project (in this case an ASP.NET Core web application), there's an entry named Delete which deletes the selected file and removes it from my solution.
On other files (as in the screenshot below), there isn't Delete, but there is Remove instead of it. The difference is that the files are removed from the solution, but not deleted from the hard disk.
So far I couldn't figure out when Delete is shown as option and when Remove is shown. Does anybody have further information about it?
We are working with building ETL packages in SSIS using a TFS repository. When my collegue add new files to the repository they are not added properly to the repository even though he checks in the entire project file. He sees the files in his project folder, and it looks like everything is checked in. But when I click on "Get latest version" I get a warning that the package is missing from the project directory. If any of us then try to add the file again we get a warning that the file all redy exists, even though it is not visible in my folders. Right now the solution we are using is for him to delete the file and then commit the change. After he deletes the file I get the latest version. Then he sends me the files and then I add them to the repository. Once I have added the files things seem to work as expected. Has anyone else had this problem, and know of a solution?
UPDATE:
The solution we found now is that I have to go to the local folder and find the new file my colegue added. Then I right click the file he just added and select add to project. Then the new file is visible in my version, but it does not have a blue lock icon next to it. If I then double click the sln-file to reload the project the blue lock icon is visible to me.
It is still not an optimal solution, but it works a lot better than him having to send me the file so I could check it in.
Is this the way TFS is supposed to work?
Can you please check the mapped work space path in your local machine there you will find the checked code. You need to manually Add.
Right Click on SSIS package -->AddExisting Package--> Select the package from Workspace-->Ok
Now you will find the missing package in your Solution Explorer as well.
If you are using TFVC.
Open Source Control Explorer=>Right click that solution/project folder=>View History, then check the related ChangeSet whether he add the file correctly.
Let your college to check the permission of that folder/file: Right click the folder/file->Advanced=>Security.

I've run into a problem with VS2010 (it also exists in the latest version, SP1 (10.0.40219.1)):
Add an existing Word file to the "Solution Items" and check this new file in.
Check the file out for editing
Double click on the file and edit it in Word (just make some minor changes)
Save the file (CTRL-S)
Now the file is removed from the "Solution Items" in Visual Studio (you may have to repeat the editing and saving a couple of times)
Update: I'm using Visual SourceSafe 2005.
Despite my research efforts I haven't really found anything on this issue apart from this Microsoft page, and I'd like to know whether there is a way to prevent this problem from happening.
Any ideas are more than welcome, thanks in advance.

After further investigation I think I found the reason behind this behaviour and a workaround.
Please also note that the behaviour described in the original question only occurs for files that are added directly underneath a solution or to a folder that is directly underneath a solution.
The reason
I'm not sure whether the following is 100% correct, but the main point is how Word (and probably other MS Office apps as well) saves an existing file:
Save the current version of the file to a temporary file
Rename the original file so it can be used later in case something goes wrong
Copy the temporary file to the location of the original file, using the original file's name
Delete the original file (that was renamed in step 2)
Visual Studio picks up that the file doesn't exist (for a very short time though) and removes it from its tree and the .sln file. This can also be reproduced by manually adding any kind of file, checking it out (if not checked out), renaming it to a different name and then back to its original name => file is no longer shown in Visual Studio.
The workaround
I've created an empty project template following the steps on Microsoft's site. I also set the output to "Class Library" so that the project would compile even if no static main method exists. This template can be used to add a "Documentation" project to an existing solution. Underneath this project you can add files and edit them as you wish, as Visual Studio behaves differently and does not remove the file when it is saved in this constellation.
Obviously this approach is still not very satisfying or elegant, but I hope that it may be helpful for others who might run into the same problem.

I've run into the same issue. I simply undo changes for the solution after I've closed the document file and the solution files will be as they originally were before your document changes.
I created a folder in a TFS Project under workspace "CPortalWS". I deleted the workspace, but now I would like to delete the folder in the project and the delete option is not available.
I've tried to create a new workspace mapped to the project but I still don't get the option to delete.
Is this a bug in TFS? How can I delete the folder?
Any help would be appreciated.
Deleting a folder in TFS is a little strange.
You have to:
Create a Workspace
Get the latest source for the folder (to your local machine)
Inside Source Explorer, delete the folder
Check in your changes (this is the step that deletes the folder in Source Control)
only note that delete is not an actual delete.
the folders/files are still there and kept in Version Control, for example for Undelete scenarios.
You can see them and avail the undelete function if you go to "Tools > Options > Source Control > Visual Studio Team Foundation Server" and check "Show deleted items in the Source Control Explorer" and then right-click on one of the deleted folders.
so, if you want real delete, where the folder/files actually go away you need to use the Destroy Command which is only available from the command line, see link below
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb386005.aspx
When you delete in TFS, it does not remove it from TFS. It maintains a copy of the deleted files, even when you check in the deletion. This can cause some issues.
To permanently delete from TFS, you need to issue a tfs destroy command.
To do this:
Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt.
Issue the following command: tf destroy $/SourceLocation/Folder. Where $/SourceLocation/Folder is the Source location of the deleted folder in TFS.
Please note: This command will also delete the file(s) from disk.
I had a similar issue, where I had 1 folder which despite being deleted from Hard drive, was still showing as in Source Control (with a green + by the folder). It also showed me the content but if I tried to open any, an error message informed me the file wasn't there.
Clicking on any folder didn't show the delete button. I then realised that selecting a file did! If you don't have a file, create a text file and add it to the folder you want to delete (via Source Control). Click this file, note the delete shows. Select a folder and note that the delete disappears but only after half a second. This small delay is actually usable.
I clicked the file, so the delete button is enabled and hovered the mouse above the delete button. Using the keyboard, I did a CTRL + A and as soon as all files and folders were selected I clicked left mouse button. And it worked! Everything was removed, including (and this is the odd thing) the parent folder.
Create a Workspace; and get latest on the base folder; Dont forget to cloak the relevant folders. If you are going to delete the subfolders then cloak all and get latest on the base folder. So you save a lot of time in pulling files.
