Microsoft Visual InterDev is a Web development component that is included in Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0. Using Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0 allows you to create web applications, HTML based web pages and data-driven websites by including Visual Studio components. When you delete a file from master Web using Windows Explorer or Visual InterDev Project Explorer on a client computer, you receive a dialog box that prompts that the file has been deleted from master Web and asks you to delete the local copy of the file. The default response to delete this local copy of the file is ‘Yes’, which introduces a file loss scenario for the user. You might unknowingly delete the  local copy of the file  while deleting it from master Web. Among other possible recovery possibilities, one of the best solutions is to restore it from backup. But if no backup is available, you are suggested to use an efficient deleted file recovery software immediately to restore the file.

To illustrate the scenario, consider that you create a Web project and add several files to it and also to the master Web. You then desire to delete a file from master Web and use Windows Explorer or  Visual InterDev Project Explorer on a client computer to permanently delete the file from master Web. You reopen the project on the root client system and receive a dialog box that informs that the file has been deleted from master Web. The same dialog box asks to delete the local copy of the file and by default, you click ‘yes’ in response and file is deleted from the local project permanently.

Cause

This problem occurs because of the design feature that is included so that synchronization between local Web project and master Web project can be simplified.

Solution

To restore the data of lost file, you are recommended to consider following suggestions:

  • If the lost file is stored on another client’s system as well, you can restore it from there
  • If you have created the project under SCC (Source Code Control), the lost local file can be restored from the file in SCC database
  • Restore from a valid backup or project archive
  • Use a File Recovery utility to restore the file safely. Deleted File Recovery products are high-end third-party tools that execute several powerful scanning algorithms to recover the deleted, lost or missing files.
