Description John Eblen CLA 2011-09-19 13:37:07 EDT
If a build configuration is local and is changed to use a remote site on the properties page, it does not sync or build.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a new C/C++ project.
2) Convert to a synchronized project using the conversion wizard.
3) Change one of the original local configurations (Debug or Release, for example) to use a remote site on the Synchronize properties page.
4) Note that sync'ing to this site does not work.
5) Note that building is still done locally.

Copying a local configuration and changing it to a remote site also does not work. Users can still create new remote configurations by copying the "Remote" configuration created by the wizard and altering the site. The drawback, though, is that users cannot easily create remote configurations with settings that mirror local configurations.

The main cause is that local configurations have a null sync provider, which persists even when the location is changed.
