TFS Woes: Value was either too large or too small for a UInt32

Sometimes I just use my blog to write down what I have learned. Is that wrong?

Well too dang bad .. it’s my blog after all 🙂

So recently TFS hit me with this gem while attempting to check in a simple file update.

Value was either too large or too small for a UInt32

I just stared at the screen for a second.  No files were marked as unsaved.  Okay.  I searched for ‘UInt32’ in my code … didn’t expect to find anything and sure enough .. I didn’t.  Ah well a-Binging-we-will-go then!  (Cause hey only  your grandma uses Google anymore, am I right?)

I found out that the simple solution to this less-than-helpful error is simply to perform a Save All.  Apparently the issue is that one or more files needed to be saved, and MS Data Tools didn’t prompt for saving prior to the check-in attempt.

Well well.  Learn something new nearly everyday around these parts don’t we?

Hope this helps someone else!
