SSDT Project synchronization

I am trying to use SQLCompare to synchronize a database project for a very large database (over 10K scripts) When I try to load the project in Visual Studio after the compare I receive the following error: " : error : Length cannot be less than zero.
Parameter name: length"

I am running VS2013 V. 12.0.30110.00
and SSDT V 12.0.40403.0

    Thank you for your forum post.

    Are you able to reply with the complete details of the exception?

    I suspect that deployment phase of SQL Compare has modified a path to an object or folder that your Visual Studio project cannot find. Can you please explain in some more detail how you use SQL Compare?

    Many Thanks

  • I am trying to populate a new SSDT project with objects using SQL Compare. I compare my source to the project and apply changes to the project. creates the objects, and adds them to the .sqlproj file, but when I try to open the project I get the following message:

    error : Length cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: length in the output window of SSDT

    I have screen shots but there is no way to add them to the forum

    Incidently, this is not an issue going the other way. I can compare an existing project to a database and push changes.
