Invalid TFS Source Control Bindings

I was setting up autobuild for a set of projects that another developer on the team had recently copied from one folder to another and I was encountering numerous problems with the autobuild especially regarding NuGet packages.

No matter what I did to the project, I could not get the solutions to successfully autobuild!!

Well, since I have had to dissect the solution files and .csproj files frequently in the past, I decided to open them up and take a look at them outside of Visual Studio.

Surprisingly enough, I found the following elements in several of the .csproj files:

<SccProjectName>%24/TFS Source Control Path</SccProjectName>

<SccLocalPath>.</SccLocalPath>

<SccAuxPath>http://TFSSERVER:8080/tfs/defaultcollection</SccAuxPath>

<SccProvider>{4CA58AB2-18FA-4F8D-95D4-32DDF27D184C}</SccProvider>

Instead, the contents should have looked like this instead:

<SccProjectName>SAK</SccProjectName>

<SccLocalPath>SAK</SccLocalPath>

<SccAuxPath>SAK</SccAuxPath>

<SccProvider>SAK</SccProvider>

Once I fixed up the solution bindings in the various .csproj files, it allowed me to get past the build issues and work on finally fixing up the NuGet package references.

Once I corrected all of the NuGet package references, the build started working correctly as expected!!
