I was adding the KendoUICore package to a project in VS2015, and this dialog came up 100's of time during the loading of the package. The _references.js file had the autosync turned on, so it was triggering for each .js file that was added. Very annoying. Got so annoying that I killed VS in the task manager.

After some investigation, I discovered all you need to do is open the _references.js file in the source editor before you add lots of .js files to the project. You can turn off the autosync flag, but if you try and do the manual "Update JavaScript References" it will go nuts again.

I just wanted to post this to help anyone else out.

Overwrite dialog

Reference to what _references.js topic and its use

  • This is such an annoying issue. This popup will show over 50 times when updating a bulk of packages at once. I usually click "Overwrite" but I am not sure if this is what I should be clicking. – Taylor Brown Aug 24 '16 at 17:10

Before adding and deleting any JS files to a project, open the _references.js file in the source editor of VS and make sure it's checked out from source control. I reported the problem to the VS team, but no response from them.
