Problem:

What causes, "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection" when using StarTeam Integration for Visual Studio?

Resolution:

• Product Name: StarTeam
• Product Version: 2008
• Product Component: Integration
• Platform/OS Version: Windows

The error may occur when using the "Place Project" option in the Visual Studio Integration.

The Stack Trace generated will be similar to:

Stack Trace
at System.Collections.ArrayList.RemoveAt(Int32 index)
at Borland.StarTeam.VSIP.VSUIUpdater.EndOperationInStatusBar()
at Borland.StarTeam.IDE.Utils.StarTeamUtils.EndMessageOperation()
at Borland.StarTeam.VSIP.VSUtils.EndMessageOperation()
at Borland.StarTeam.VSIP.VSOperations.PlaceProject(Project vsProject)
at Borland.StarTeam.VSIP.BorlandStarTeamPackage.Exec(Guid& guidCmdGroup, UInt32 cmdID, UInt32 nCmdexecopt, IntPtr pvaIn, IntPtr pvaOut)

This is a defect that has arisen when a particular call is is made by any program that uses the .NET framework"s "ArrayList" class and calls the "RemoveAt" method for an invalid element.

A possible workaround is to repeat the operation and ignore the error - eventually this should place the Visual Studio project into StarTeam. Borland StarTeam Engineering plan to address this limitation in a future release of the integration.
