SourceSafe Binding

I am a relative beginner at .net and have been learning on-the-job so there are great holes in my knoweldge that I am attempting to fill. Any help would be appreciated:

I have a asp.net solution (VB) that has 1 main project (let's call it abc) and 2 other projects. The latter 2 contain 1 custom control each, which I created.: TextBoxExtended and DropDownExtended. They are used on a form in the main project. The app runs ok and when I used to build it the results were "3 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped".

My problem started when, after checking it in (not for the first time, though), a co-worker attempted to check it out. He couldn't retrieve the custom controls.

I tried a number of different things but everything ended in an error. Then I tried to delete manually the whole thing from SourceSafe and reestablish the project but this also failed, and now I am getting erros opening the solution in the IDE on my pc, although I can run the app.

When I try to build it I get "2 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 skipped". Looking at the solution's Properties I see that it is not building main project abc, but I don't know why since it used to.

Q1 - should the 2 project folders which contain the custom controls be children of the main solution folder in SourceSafe or should they be children of the abc project?

Q2 - How should the working folder be set for each of these components? My local folder or the localhost folder?

Q2 - I think the binding is corrupted at this point between SourceSafe and my working folder but I don't know how to reset; I keep getting errors when I try to do so.
Can you advise?

Thanks,
m
