A part of the application that I am working on is a legacy Vb6 Windows forms application. All the files in the project are under source control (VSS) except the Vb6 project file. From what I can establish from the other developers working on the project the reason for this is that the com components used in the projects have different ...
I want to create a CI for my company and we are using Sourcesafe as our repository. I want to know is there any way to create a CI Build process with Sourcesafe? I read some CI process with TFS and GIT (svn) but can't find an article for Sourcesafe? What should I do? ...
I am migrating a Visual SourceSafe code repository to Subversion and I am running into a problem. Here is a simplified layout of our current source code tree (in VSS): project_root\ |-libs\ |-tools\ |-arch_1\ | |-include | |-source |-arch_2\ |-include |-source My problem is in our two arch_ folders. Each ...

We use Visual Source Safe 6.0 at work and VB6 is supposed to integrate smoothly with Source Safe. Both applications are installed on my PC, but VB6 is not showing the options to integrate with Source Safe (e.g. checking out a file, seeing if a file is shared, etc.). What do I need to do to get VB6 to integrate with Source Safe 6.0? ...
Me and a few of my coworkers are experiencing an odd issue in Visual Studio 2008 and Windows 7 (64-bit). We use VSS6 for our source control (unfortunately). We have an issue where we will make a change to a checked-out file, resulting in the file getting checked out as expected. But when we go to build the project, or try to save th...
Hi, At work I just started using Subversion with AnkhSVN instead of Visual Source Safe. I managed to integrate it well enough but it doesn't seem the same. Using VSS the following would happen: A user check out a file by right clicking and selecting "check out" or by editing it. If another user tried to modify the same file he would ge...

Is there a way in Microsoft Visual SourceSafe to see all the files I've ever checked-in? ...
We're looking to move off of sourcesafe and on to a more robust source control system for our .Net apps. We're also looking for scripted/automated deployments. I'm a .Net developer (web and winforms). However, most of our development staff is RPG for the IBM iSeries and the devs use Aldon's LMI for source control and deployment. Our man...
So far I've only checked things out and back in to Source Safe but now I want to create a project for parallel development. That is, I want to Share and Branch the entire project. I have been reading the Source Safe Help files on how to do this and although I think I am following the instructions, I end up with an empty folder. Can so...
I'm wondering how other programmers are backing up changes that are not under source control yet, be it new files or modified ones. I'm mostly referring to medium size jobs - hardly worth the effort of making a private branch, but taking more than a day to complete. This is not a vendor-specific question - I'd like to see if various pro...
I am using the SourceSafe COM object (SourceSafeTypeLib) from C# to automate a SourceSafe recursive get (part of a larger build process). The recursive function is shown below. How do I ensure that all the COM objects created in the foreach loop get released correctly? /// <summary> /// Recursively gets files/projects from ...
I am using Sourcesafe 2005 in a 3-project solution using Visual Studio 2008. The ONLY thing I really like about this source control tool is the COMPARE operation which shows the DIFF at a selected File level. Is there any way to get something like this for multiple files at a time (e.g. all files in a project)? ...
Recently we migrated from VSS to SVN. But I don't want VSS removed totally, instead I want everyone can access it read only? Is it possible? How? ...
It seems like the following type of files need to be writable to be able to compile a solution. .exe .dll .pdb (if debugging) .resource (?) .xml (at least the system generated ones. I'm not sure if they are just all XML documentationf iles) If they were checked in and could only be overwritten by the compiler by the person who had the...
I need to get a complete project recursively as it existed on a specified date in the past. How can I do that without having to look at and selectively recover each individual file? Source Safe 8.0 ...
Is there a way to send mail to a list of users when files are checkedin to VSS 6.0? ...
I was looking for information on how other people with larger teams manage SourceSafe currently. I was looking for recommendations and advice for a new project I was setting up that will allow for a few key things Scalability Manage multiple overlapping releases Geared more around .NET however allows for legacy applications (VB, ASP an...
I'm migrating a VSS repository to SVN and inadvertently included all of the _vti_cnf, *.scc files in the first check-in. I'd like to remove these from SVN. (Not permanently, of course - just in the HEAD). The application in question is quite large, and finding and deleting these files on a folder-by-folder basis will take forever. Sugg...
