Subject: VSS 6.0d and VS 2005?

Question
Hi,

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
vb 2005 is a completely different way of writing code and you need to unlearn many aspects of Vb6 and relearn.

you arent missing anything. they are two separate areas. and now you have vb 2008 and relearning is due all over againg.

stick to vb6 including sourcesafe or do separate coding using vb2005.
there is a way to upgrade but that is not easy too.
