Within the GUI of VSS it is possible to view the history of an item 'including' or 'excluding' the labels. I'm trying to do the same thing but from the command line but I just can't see which switch I need to use in order to 'exclude' labels (by default they are included). e.g. I'm running:- ss.exe HISTORY -I- $/Source/Path/FileName.t...
I'd like to automatically login to VSS when I open it, and skip the login prompt altogether. Is this possible? ...
I am looking for a plugin that could integrate VSS- the CM tool I am using and WSAD 5.1. I tried downloading the version 1.6.0 of VSS plugin from http://sourceforge.net/projects/vssplugin/ , but that did not help as it seems this version of the plugin does not support WSAD 5.1 as it uses eclipse 2.1 Any help would be appreciated. ...
I have a Visual Source Safe repository, and some (not all, alas!) of my releases are identified by label. I know how to get by label from the command line, but: Can I get by label from within Visual Studio? I'm using Visual Studio 2003 (would the answer be different in other versions of Visual Studio?). Thanks. PS. I am hopin...
We use VS2005 and SourceSafe here at work for a project. I have this Setup and Deployment project for a couple of projects which have SQL SMO dll dependencies. I do not want to deliver these DLLs, so i set them all to "exclude" from the target. However when I check the solution in, and pull it back out from VSS, four of those 8 dlls come...
Applications I am using: Visual Studio 2008 (C#/ASP.NET) Visual Source Safe 8.0 IIS 5.1 I have two Web Apps both named the same but one is used for major releases and the other is for minor (trunk and branch). I am wondering if there is an option in Visual Studio that prevents it from creating an ASP.NET app in IIS using the web app's p...
Our team is migrating from VSS 6.0 to TFS 2008 to be used for source control purposes. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this migration. In particular, we are interested in preserving the history of files in source control, as well as any other potential gotchas. Thanks! ...
I use Visual SourceSafe with Visual Studio. Every time I work on a project for a while, the directory structure on my harddisk gets messed up. The latest versions of the files are going to their own nested folder, so I end up with "C:\VS2005\Projects\MyProject\MyProject\MyProject\MyProject" What is causing this? ...
Is it possible to verify which source safe project is bound to my vs.net solution? When I checkout a file in vs.net, then look up the file in source safe, it seems to be checking out a file from another project. When I look at the directory in 'set working folder' it seems to be ok. ...
Our project is held in a SourceSafe database. We have an automated build, which runs every evening on a dedicated build machine. As part of our build process, we get the source and associated data for the installation from SourceSafe. This can take quite some time and makes up the bulk of the build process (which is otherwise dominated b...
We have an old Classic ASP application that we have been using Visual Studio 6 to maintain. This has worked fine, but we're ready to step out of the stone age and I'd like to see if I can use Visual Studio 2008 (SP1) to maintain the application. In the past, multiple developers could work on the application and it was under source cont...
I want to be able to get the projects I have in Sourcesafe and their total lines of code (perhaps also with total number of classes, etc). Is there an SDK for Sourcesafe (I use 2005 edition) which will allow me to do this? Or is there a document in Sourcesafe which lists all the projects in SS? Using this, I could work towards getting t...
I'll try to make this as straight forward as possible. Currently our team has a VSS database where our projects are stored. Developers grab the code and place on their localhost machine and develop locally. Designated developer grabs latest version and pushes to development server. The problem is, when a file is removed from the proj...
We had an employee leave the company, and they left some files checked out in our VSS database. What is the best way to impersonate that user, so I can release those files? ...
I'm using VSS 2008 and Visual Studio 2008. When my source files are checked in, the VSS property dialog shows them as type "Unicode (UTF-8)". But if I check one out from within Visual Studio, then do a compare, it says "binary files differ". Is anyone else seeing this? Do I have a screwed up setting somewhere? Thanks, Andy Update...
I have a simple VS2008 project with several crystal reports, created with Crystal Reports 2008 (outside Visual Studio). The solution is added to source control (Visual SourceSafe 6.0). Now every time I open the solution all the reports are checked out together with their corresponding cs files. No changes are made to the files, so I can ...
Is there a way to migrate SourceSafe with HISTORY into a SVN ? Ideally I'd like to use VisualSVN Server, but I don't really want to lose my SourceSafe history. If I have to I will though. ...
I have a VS2005 solution which uses Visual SourceSafe 6.0 source control. I am using Vista Ultimate 32 bit. I keep getting this error when I close a file, and seeming more often when the file is not actually under source control (e.g. afxwin.h or something like that). Does not happen 100% of the time though. Any workarounds? Hasn't...
My issue is that when I check a project out of SS I sometimes do not get the latest version of the project, and when I check a project into SS the .frx files are corrupt. ...
We're about to start a new project, and our client's current application is .NET versioned in SourceSafe. However, we use Subversion internally. This will likely be a "one-time" delivery (complete application rewrite), so they could easily do a checkout from our repo, then export, and import into their SourceSafe repo. However, my fear i...
