Within TeamCity if I trigger a build it all works correctly, however if the Scheduler triggers a build it does not seem to get all the files from VSS. I have clean checkout directory turned on, so I am not sure how it determines the patch for the VSS root. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get it to always get all files, and...
When I use the Visual SourceSafe (2005) Explorer to get the latest version of a file to my client (Win 7) machine, and then diff my newly gotten local copy with the one in the repository, VSS tells me that the files have different character encodings. What gives? ...
I recently reimaged my PC and regrabbed one of our projects from Source Safe. In our solution we have a web service that normally runs on a server, however we can build the webservice on our localhost for debugging as well. However, now whenever I grab the project from source safe it is building the webservice as a website instead of a d...
When checking in files using VS 2008, I normally have the option "Check In ..." Recently, this has changed to "Check In Now" and the behavior is different (I'm not given the option to add a note with my check-in). This is bizarre, as I can't think of anything I've done to change the IDE. Does anybody know how I can get back to the "Chec...
Using Visual SourceSafe 2005, what do I need to do to tell VSS 2005 that the current version of code should be labelled (or whatever) so that after further revisions I can come back later and get the version of code that was labelled? ...
I have to figure out the most recently checked in files on VSS. I know the date of check in but not much info other than the directory to which they were checked. There are a large number of files and I was wondering if there is a report I can pull out from some where. Thanks ...
Is there a Windows explorer plugn-in for Visual SourceSafe like we have for TFS Power Tools or TortoiseCVS? ...
Hi, back in the old days, when using Visual source safe, i used to share projects in VSS between multiple solutions. Doing this allowed me to open 2 visual studio solutions and both use the same code from the shared library. i don't remember if the code was 2 (or more) times placed on my harddisk. Is this also possible using SVN? ...
Hi, I am trying TeamCity as an alternative to CruiseControl.NET at the moment. However, I'm having real trouble with using it with Visual Sourcesafe (I know we'll be moving off this in near future!). However in the VSS Settings in the "Path to srcsafe.ini" field I am getting the following error when I click on Test Connection: Error: F...
I am in the process of upgrading from VS2008 to VS2010 and want to do some cleaning up. My main solution has 20 or so projects under it in a flat file space. However there is a grouping to the projects (some libraries, some client programs, some test programs etc) and I wanted to reorganise the physical disk layout of the projects in t...
I am at my wits end with this one. I have a vb6 project that edits, compiles and runs well as long as I do not try to synchronize its files with the visual source safe 6.0d database at loading. I tried removing the .scc files, I tried filling the working folder from the database and vice versa, all to no avail. The problem started when ...
I thought I heard that there was going to be a entry level, low cost version of TFS that is targeted at VSS users who want repository and versioning functionality only. But I can't find the link anymore...does it exist? Or do I need to figure out how to use subversion? ...
Using VSS 8.0, doing "Get Latest Version" from the graphical client works fine. But ussing the command-line tool SS.exe, we see strange results where some files are got but for others we see an error message "Version not found". So two questions really... firstly what's that error mean? And secondly, do the command-line and GUI tools wo...
Going to install TFS 2010 today, however have few doubts here: In our current setup, we use: ASP.Net 1.1 ASP.Net 2.0 VSS VB 6.0 Classic ASP 3.0 and DB objects that contains SPs, Functions,Triggers and DML codes. We have our VSS folder like : FrontEnd - Classic ASP - All module wise classic asp files and JS files ...
I had a little disaster: I did an "undo checkout" in my .aspx.vb file and lost all my work. How can I recover my code? Can I find it in the Temporary ASP.NET Files? If so, where? Is there any other VS2010 temporary files folder worth checking? A visual sourcesafe temporary folder? ...
After doing some search on SO, Google and MSDN forums I've become frustrated that there is so little information for what might seem like an obvious question and possibly a dumb question. I need to use source control in Visual Studio 2010 Professional. I do not have separate Team Foundation Server 2010. Some people have mentioned Source...
Hello, I am copying projects in one solution that is bound to VSS from one solution to another that is not bound (or shouldn't be). When I copy the original project and add it to the new solution, it's showing as checked in and VS is remapping the working folder in VSS; I want this new copy to not be bound to source control and not do ...
We currently do C# and WPF programming. I've a really hard time with our source control (Visual Source Safe 6.0). My colleague are persuaded that we have all the features we need and TFS wouldn't help us more than old VSS 6.0 does (just fancy features, you know, nothing a real man needs...). In my current situation, we are actually bui...
I am looking to migrate some databases out of Visual Source Safe (VSS) and into Team Foundation Server (TFS). I know I am able to migrate from VSS to SVN, and then from SVN to TFS using a few tools that I have found (either free or purchased). The aim is to get the source code into TFS and then integrate the project with SharePoint so th...
I've recently migrated code off of a limping SourceSafe database to a fresh SourceSafe database. We're maintaining the old database to keep our version history, but I'd like to mark those files as obsolete, so other programmers don't get confused as to which version to use. Does SourceSafe support any feature that lets me flag files as ...
