visual studio keeps asking to save project file as

Question

I am using VS 2010 and recently I moved some files around and changed paths etc.

The solution still compiles correctly and all files are able to be loaded/compiled without error however just about every time I go to compile after a change it gives me the save as dialog and asks me to save one of the projects, if I try to give it a new name or something the dialog does not exist nothing I do can make it exit apart from pressing cancel.

If I do a build straight after cancelling it works fine and I'm not presented with the save as dialog. I have verified that the project file is not read only.

Any ideas as to whats going on here.

The solution is stored in TFS 2008

Answer 1

You need to run VS as administrator. (right click on VS Icon- Run as administrator)

Answer 2

You need to do 2 things
1- remove the read-only tick from the project folder
2- when a save-as window prompts at build, just overwrite the project
next time you build, the window won't pop up

Answer 3

Are the bindings in TFS set up correctly with the new location? TFS will mark files as read only unless they get checked in. It might have been marked as such before you moved everything around, and now, isn't being checked out properly.
