Error description

• Customer pulls the network cable from a ClearCase LT 7.0
  client and works disconnected
  from the Clearcase LT server.  When they do this, the
  following error appears
  regardless of what type of VS.NET 2005 projects are a part of
  the solution.
  The following error occurs everytime for each project that is a
  part of the solution.
  
  "Error determining type of current view."
  
  This only occurs when a client tries to work disconnected from
  the network.
  
  To reproduce the issue, the following steps are below:
  
  Clearcase LT 7.0.0
  1) Either uncheck or check the Connect to Rational Clearcase in
  the Clearcase control Panel.
  2) Unplug the network cable or your connection to the CC LT
  server.
  3) In VS.NET 2005, try to open up a solution in a view by either
  File->Open or trying to use the Front Desk.
  4) Error occurs 100% of the time.
  

Local fix

• The error occurs and you just click through it and the
  developers
  are allowed to work the solution.  The error populates and the
  developers
  hit Ok.  Two or three seconds later you get the next one for the
  next project.
  

Problem summary

• User pulls the network cable from a ClearCase LT 7.0
  client
   and works disconnected from the Clearcase LT server.
  When they
   do this, the following error appears regardless of
  what type of
   VS.NET 2005 projects are a part of the
  solution.  The following
   error occurs everytime for each
  project that is a
  part of the
  solution,
  
       "Error determining type of
  current v
  iew."
  

Problem conclusion

• There are currently no plans to fix this defect. Users can
  continue working on .NET and it only happens when opening
  the project. And more importantly, we don't think there is
  an easy way to determine that the view is not available when
  the cable is disconnected.
