Hi Jim,

We're a large shop with a small .NET division and we too ran into that problem. We've never really solved it directly, but we have worked around it to a large degree. After much gnashing of teeth, we've come to realize that the SCC plugin for Perforce just doesn't work well, so we went our own route. We hook up external commands in VS.NET to the relevant p4 commands we use (p4 add, p4 edit, p4 delete, etc) and then map those to keyboard shortcuts (ctrl-p ctrl-a for add for example). Along with using an appropriate P4CONFIG configuration file to specify the appropriate client per project, this works quite well.

If you're really sold on the SCC plugin, another route to check out is this: don't use Web Projects. You can use a Library project instead along with some neat little hacks to the VS. It works quite well, and in my opinion, is far superior to using Web Projects for team-based projects. You can find details @ http://pluralsight.com/wiki/default.aspx/Fritz.AspNetWithoutWebProjects

We recently purchased Perforce and we are a .NET shop and the problem is hooking up the web projects to Perforce. According to their website this isn't supported, I am wondering if anyone has had any luck in getting web solutions up and running. Thanks for any guidance.
