AboutSyed Rizwan Muhammad Rizvi Expertise I can answers questions regarding web based and desktop based programming in VB.Net. Which can include SOAP, XML, Custom Controls, COM Interoperability etc.
Experience Have been working in this specific area for last 2 years previously I was a VB 6 Developer with experties in other languages as well. Total 10 years of programming experience.
After using Visual Sourcesafe 6.0d with VB 6.0 for several years, I recently installed Visual Studio 2005.
VS 2005 apparently recognizes that VSS 6.0d is installed, because “Visual Sourcesafe 6.0” appears in the Tools menu. However, no real integration appears to exist between the two software packages. For example, when I used to create a new project in VB 6, I would receive a prompt asking if I wanted to add the project to VSS. This does not happen in VS 2005.
I tried manually creating a new VSS project and manually adding VS 2005 files from an existing project. This worked from the VSS side, but when I opened the project in VS 2005, VS 2005 did not seem to be aware that VSS was tracking the project. For instance, VB 6 used to display checkmarks for files that were checked out. This does not happen in VS 2005.
It’s been a while since I worked with VSS at this level, and I’m no expert with it. Also, I’m new to VS 2005. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Joe
Answer I have been using VS2k5 for a long time as well with both VSS6 and VSS.net in either case it never asked me to add a project to VSS :).
I guess after creating a project you always have to right click on it and do add to source control thingy for it to have integration.
