[AccessD] VSS misbehaving

For .Net projects there is a project file, *.csproj for C# or *.vbproj for
VB.

Two things to look for.

First - Add new files both to the *.vbproj file, check it out and check it
in, and add the file to VSS.

Second - By default the .NET IDE only shows files that are in the vbproj.
You can in the solution explorer choose to "view all files" which shows the
entire contents, not just what is listed in the vbproj file. You may see the
file here if it was not added to the vbproj.

Things get a little trickier if you've included the various vss and .Net
integration files.

Subject: [AccessD] VSS misbehaving

We're having a growing number of problems using Visual Source Safe.
Used with Access over the years, it presents occasional problems, not
terrible.  But our problems have amplified since applying it to .NET
projects.

1.  When one user creates a new object and checks it in, other users
can't see it (after attempting to Get Latest Version).  Yet the object
is clearly seen in the Source Safe project itself.  

2. Adding or deleting an object to a VB.NET project seems to require
that the person have the entire project checked out to them (unlike the
way it works in Access).  

Has anyone else encountered these things?  If so, are there solutions?
Or...if these are just known VSS hassles, do you have any suggestions
about other source control solutions that work well with .NET?

Thank you!
