Updating a Solution or Project

  1. Click StarTeam > Update Solution. StarTeam updates your project source files and the solution/project file with the latest revisions from the repository. If files have been added to or removed from the project, the local project is updated to reflect these changes. If any files are in a merge state, StarTeam asks if you want to merge the files.
  2. If you have a file in a merge state, click Yes to merge the changes, or click No to leave the working file unchanged.
  3. When choosing Yes, the StarTeam merge utilityStarTeam File Compare/Merge, opens. Resolve all conflicts and apply or remove any other changes as needed. When you have resolved all conflicts, close StarTeam File Compare/Merge and return to the Visual Studio.
  4. The StarTeam Visual Studio Plugin tells you whether you have resolved all conflicts and asks if you wish to save the file. Click Yes to replace your working file with the merged file. If you click No, the local working file is not updated, and the file remains in a merge state.
