This source-control plug-in test area covers changing the source control via the Change Source Control command.
Change Source Control command provides four basic functions for the user:
Bind:
Allows a user to establish or reestablish a source control link between a solution/project and the version store.
Unbind:
Removes a project/solution from source control on a per-connection basis.
Connect/Disconnect:
Toggles connected or offline state of the controlled solution, which is covered in Area 3. For more information, see Test Area 3: Check Out/Undo Checkout.
Command Menu Access
The following Visual Studio integrated development environment menu path is used in the test cases.
The following are specific test cases for the Change Source Control command test area.
Case 5a: Bind
Bind allows the user to add source code control info to the selected projects and solutions. The user is typically prompted to identify a project in source control to which these are to be added. The user may not create a new project in source control as part of this operation (contrast with Add to Source Control).

Bind to unrelated location.
Click Cancel.
Result from Step 5:
The solution is no longer under source control
Result from Step 8:
Solution is still NOT under source control.
Case 5b: Unbind
Unbind removes source code control info from projects and their solution. The affected projects and solution are based on a mix of user selection and how the items were added to source control.
