Hi, I am trying to add my project under source control. I am using "Microsoft VSS 6.0" for it.

Then I copied that entire project in other directory (C:\working) and deleted the directory where I had tak...

We have a local Team Foundation Server 2008 that we keep our code under version control. However, we also have a paranoid client that has their own Visual Source Safe installation that wants us to keep a running copy of the code on their server as well. As such, I'm hoping there is a way I can just do a nightly push from our TFS reposi...

My issue is that I cannot add SourceSafe Database for source control within Visual Studio 2010. Our team was initially using VSS for source control in Visual Studio 2010.

However, SourceSafe still has them checked out to the old XP folder (c:\documents and settings etc) whereas the files now reside...
Hi Everyone, For version control we currently use Visual Source Safe and are thinking of migrating to another version control system (SVN, Mercurial, Git). Currently we use Visual Source Safe's "Shared" file feature quite heavily. This allows us to share code between design and runtimes of a single product, and between multiple product...
