One of the things that really annoys me in Visual Studio 2005 is that making even minor changes to a Windows Forms form or control will often check out the licenses.licx file, which means that someone else who is trying to make changes to another Windows Forms form or control in the same project can’t. I have found this to be quite time consuming as I have often had to phone up the other person who is working on it and ask them to check the file in.
I have been very pleased to notice that in Visual Studio 2008, the problem seems to have been fixed (as far as I can tell so far). The licenses.licx file has stayed checked in for quite a while now, despite the fact that two of us are working on controls in the project.
