In the good old days, VC6 noticed that a file was missing, and put a "X" next to it in the Workspace Window. The .NET 2002 IDE, as usual, is a step backwards - there's no indication that the file is missing.
It would be nice if the OFW window could somehow mark missing files so that we'd have some way of seeing them.
FYI the solution explorer in VS .NET 2003 has a icon over the file indicating that it is missing. The OFW doesn't seem to indicate that the file is missing *except* that the modified date is 1969.

.NET 2003.... Wow, that must be nice. I'm stuck with 2002 for the foreseeable future. Well, from what you say, at least it sounds like maybe they've fixed some of the bugs in it... hope for the future.

That isn't always true - or at least, it seems not to be always true, but maybe my VAX database is hosed? (And I would argue that not converting a time value from zero to something nice like "Does not exist" instead of the 1969 base-date looks sloppy. Probably something they'll address after the release.)
