vss, asp.net, and vbproj file

Hi,
I'm wanting to edit an aspx page for the first time in my VS solution project that is connected to vss on our server. When I double click on the aspx page to edit, the check-out dialog box appears for the .vbproj file (as well as the check-out for the aspx page itself). All the files are in my working dir and I believe they have already been added to the project. Why would I be getting this dialog box?

Thanks!!!!

Because Visual Source Safe has a three step process:
Create a working folder
Copy the files locally
Check out each file for editing

You have done the first two... Visual Studio is reminding you that you have
to do the third.

If you are used to CVS, this can be confusing. In the CVS world, files were
not checked out exclusively. Instead, we trusted CVS to help us merge the
files back together if two people had made changes to the same file. VSS
doesn't work the same way. With VSS, you check out a file exclusively. No
one else is able to check it out while you have it checked out. Only the
person with it checked out can check in changes (exceptions are allowed
using an administrator to release a checkout... useful for when an employee
leaves the company with a file checked out).

This prevents two folks from writing over each other's changes.

Hope this helps,
--- Nick
