When you open Dimensions projects and streams in Visual Studio, or add Visual Studio projects and solutions to Dimensions CM, you can set up a working location outside of your default Visual Studio folder that is compatible with all Dimensions clients. This means that you may open the same project in the Desktop or Windows Explorer clients, and update and check in updates from one common working location. This does not apply to working locations that reside under the Visual Studio default folder.
When using other clients to deliver new files that exist under the root of a controlled Visual Studio solution, the Visual Studio upload rules will be used. Take care not to deliver any files in the solution that should not be controlled, for example:
Build artifacts, such as: .obj, .dll, and .exe files.
user-specific Visual Studio control files, such as: .suo and .csproj.user files.
The default exclusion filter for the Synchronization wizard excludes these files; if you have changed this filter or are using the command-line interface, ensure that only the desired files are placed under Dimensions CM control.
