Moving files in VS2003 when under VSS control
When moving or renaming files in Visual Studio .NET v2003 that are under source code control with Visual SourceSafe, here is the procedure:

1) Make sure all affected files are checked in
2) Move/rename the files using the Visual SourceSafe explorer
3) Move/rename the files using the Visual Studio solution window

The moved/renamed files should show a lock symbol indicating that the files were 'found' in the VSS database.

If the files are DataSets, the namespace will not be updated. To fix this:
1) Check out the DataSet
2) Run the Custom Tool (right click file in Solution Explorer)

For other files, just change the code manually.
