I'm having a strange problem in Visual Studio 2008 where my "Pending Checkins" window never updates. I open it up, and it says "Updating..." like usual, but I never see the "X remaining" message, and nothing happens. It just sits there doing nothing. Checked-out stuff still shows as checked out in Solution Explorer. SourceSafe 2005 s...
I've been tasked with "fixing" an old VSS database. At this point in time, we are considering migrating to TFS, but for the time being, if we could get VSS back to a stable condition, it would provide some peace of mind. We're starting to get worried that VSS is going to die on us, because when we try to view the history of any file, no...
Whenever I try to add a new project to my SourceSafe repository it creates 3 folders with the same name nested within each other. There is only one folder on my drive yet in Sourcesafe there are 3?? Can anyone suggest what may be causing this? Thanks ...
I know that I can add the SourceSafeTypeLib to a project and can explore it in object browser and find obvious things (GetLatest, etc), but I am looking for some more thorough documentation or specific tutorials on things like "undo another user's checkout" or"determine who has a file checked out. If anyone knows where to find this mat...
What version control systems have you used to manage projects developed with Visual Studio (2005)? What would you recommend and Why? What limitations have you found with your top rated version control system? ...
I'd sooner not just permanently have a bunch of files checked out to me, but I'd like a way to prevent some really critical files being changed without my being aware of it. PS Yes I know SourceSafe is terrible. ...
Is there any way to view the activity log for the integrate SourceSafe inside Visual Studio 2005 Pro? I'd like to be able to quickly see the results of any Get Latest Version, Check In and Checkout actions, and I can't find a way to get that information without having to open the VSS client. Thanks. ...
Our team would like to move from the Visual SourceSafe (VSS) to the Team Foundation Server (TFS). I know that the TFS is much more than just a version control system, but for the first time I would like to use it this way. Currently our projects are organized within the single solution that consists of the shared part (common library) a...
Does anyone know of an application or system out there for tracking changes (files added/removed, diffs on text files) to a non-source controlled directory over time? Something that would let you Take a snapshot of a certain directory tree at time A Come back at time period B and see what has changed Come back at time period C and see...
I'm using Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Basic 6.0. I have them integrated but when I check out a Project and then try to edit a module in that project it's locked and I have to manually right-click on it and do a Check Out to unlock it. I thought there was a way to have VSS automatically check out the file for editing. Any suggestions?...
Or are they two distinct applications that are not related? ...
I have a VB6 project in Visual Source Safe 6.0. When I open the project I want to Check Out (Get) all the files in the project so that I can edit them. I have the VSS Options (within VB6) set to act on the Project recursively, but when I check out the project.vbp it only checks out the project file, not all the modules, etc. Those file...
In Visual Source Safe 6.0, you could "reset" a working folder by setting it to a blank string. This meant that the working folder would be determined by the working folder of the parent. How do I do this in Visual Source Safe 2005? ...
I'm currently using Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio. The plug-in plays nicely with VS and I don't have to start another app. to write stored procs etc. I also like the ability to check-in, check-out (from VSS 2005) and run the scripts. But I have few complaints as well: It is inconvenient to use the server explorer to browse...
This is a little unholy (from whichever end of the spectrum you look at it). Has anyone built (commercial or open sourced) a front end for SVN that will allow you to access it through a VSS plugin (like the Access 2003 Source Code Control Add-in"). I'm looking for the middle piece this piece of ASCII art: [App /w VSS interface] <---> ...
My employer uses Visual Source Safe for version control, there are many problems with it's implementation, from the fact it's partly used as a document repository, to the problem that some repositories are approaching 20gb. I want to move the company onto Subversion but I'm having problems finding concrete statistics of why it's better,...
Hello, I am new to Hudson, perhaps someone knows the solution: I am trying to checkout the parent pom from the VSS in Hudson (vss plugin installed) and now I get class cast exception: FATAL: hudson.maven.MavenModuleSetBuild cannot be cast to hudson.model.Build java.lang.ClassCastException: hudson.maven.MavenModuleSetBuild cannot be ca...
I am trying to learn how to do certain source control tasks with VSS and MSBuildCommunityTasks, like how to use tasks like GetVSS and VssLabel? Docs don't make this clear. And when I poke a stick at it to see if the error messages can tell me anything, it isn't really very clear what to do then, either. Let me show what I'm doing and ...
All the googling around hasn't found an answer for me yet... I have one of our devs that is using VSS and VS2005. Checking in works (abeit quite painfully across the 'Net) but there doesn't seem to be a way to put comments into a checkin (unless you embed it in the source file maybe?) I'll be one of the firs to admit that my knowledge ...
Does anyone know if Expression Web (and Blend, for that matter) has any form of direct integration with source control? Right now that's about the only real downside we've discovered in a couple days of using it. But it's a big downside. Quick edit: Yes, we're currently using the demon spawn Source Safe. (For the record, with the siz...
