Visual Basic & Visual SourceSafe Offsite
Hello,
Do you recommend any configuration solutions to use Visual SourceSafe offsite in Visual Basic? My team in Korea is going to collaborate with the India team, and I hope there's a simple solution for that.
Thanks,
Justin

Visual Basic/Visual Sourcesafe Problem
Having a problem at work with sourcesafe and vb 6. I have one computer here that for some reason after using SourceSafe to grab the newest version of code from the server and copying it to the local machine, it prompts with a save as dialog box when trying to save (want it to save to the local machine, will update sourcesafe copy later).
Any ideas? I have the following from MS, but this happens only on one machine and we don't use ActiveX Controls
Q223128 - FIX: Problems Saving Visual Basic Form to Visual SourceSafe
Can Visual Basic 6.0 Use SourceSafe 2005's Web Service Capabilities?
I installed Visual SourceSafe 2005 on my machine and it works fine with my Visual Basic 6.0 as far as regular LAN integration is concerned. I wanted to know if there was any way for Visual Basic 6.0 to make use of the remote check-in/check-out capabilities in SourceSafe 2005. From reading the documentation it seems to me that the service is not actually accessed from within SourceSafe but rather from within Visual Studio 2005. Is there any way I can open up a SourceSafe 2005 database over the internet through SourceSafe 2005? If it is limited to access only via VS 2005 then I am not quite sure how I could grab my VB 6 files...
I was not really sure where else to post this so if it is in the wrong place let me know and I will post in the proper forum.
Visual Sourcesafe
We have at work the following versions of VB 4.0 Enterprise, 5.0 Professional, 6.0 Professional, and .NET.
I want to use more of Visual Sourcesafe but it only comes with our 4.0 Enterprise edition. I cannot find a book that will help us learn the ins and outs of VSS. Does anyone know of one or of a resource on the internet on how we can use VSS?
thanks!

Visual SourceSafe
I’m trying to work out a few things about Visual SourceSafe and one of them is this. If I want to send a shell application, after bringing it to a stable state (after having developed the shell app.), to a team at another location for final development do I create a separate Visual SourceSafe database and then ship the database file to the other location? Or, do I use the Pack. & Deployment Wizard from within SourceSafe to create a master copy, when I’m done, and ship that to the other location?
Can you help?

Visual Sourcesafe
Hi guys!
I want to do a format & re-install on one of my servers, the only problem is, this server has the main Visual SourceSafe database on which I connect to & upload all my files into.
Myquestion is, what's the extension, file or folder which all of these uploaded files are kept in? Is this an easy job - has anyone done this before without a problem?
Thanks!
Visual SourceSafe
When I log in as one user in Windows 2000 and then starts a VB-project it goes al right, when I do the same but with another user in 2000 (And the same in Visual Sourcesafe (but not on the same time)) I can't make an exe in the File-menu (It's greyed out). I think it has with Visual SourceSafe to do, but I'm not sure. Do anyone know what this problem depends on and how to overcome it and be able to make exe:s with both users.
Using Visual Sourcesafe
We are using starting out with our schoolproject. We work both at the same time so we want to use VSS. I installed VSS and created 2 users. When I create a new project it ask me if I want to add it to VSS. I select yes and then I cannot change the project anymore. What am I doing wrong? I created a user Patrick and a user Raymond.

Visual SourceSafe
I am working on a VB program previously built by someone else. I need to edit one of their user controls/ActiveX object. The object that they made was a part of SourceSafe and I don't know user names or passwords to SourceSafe. I need to edit the project but it is read only mode. If I create a new project and copy and paste the code into the new project, then when I distribute the new ActiveX control, it will be a new key in the registry. Is there a way around this?
Visual Sourcesafe
when i open a file, a message box appears, "would you like to add this to visual sourcesafe?" but i clicked no. what is visual source safe? do we really need to put it in visual sourcesafe?
Visual SourceSafe API
I want to develop my own application which can analyze a Visual SourceSafe repository and calculate metrics particularly LOC (lines of code). I am not interested in purchasing a 3rd party product as I want to do this myself. I've found some documents on SourceSafe Automation but this has no info how I can cacluate LOC. Does anyone have any good suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks

Visual SourceSafe
Hi
I have a problem using visual SourceSafe in a network. I would appreciate if someone could give solution to it.
I have an NT server where integrated version of my VB application is kept. I have added to visual sourcesafe to maintain version control of all forms developed and existing form code modified. As a lone user, I am checking in and checking out forms.
I have attempted to make the integrated copy available to all programmers throught network. I would like to know how to make a form/module read only to others, if a programmer checks it out. As per the requirement, no programmer should have local copies of the application and everyone should access the integrated application on the server.
I have tried using 'SourceSafe' in 'Tools' menu in VB and tried to download from server. It gave me an error 'makefile' not available etc.
I am desperately in need of help for this problem. I will be grateful if some one could give solution about how to make use of Visual SourceSafe for my above mentioned requirement, in detailed.
Regards

Can I Communicate With MS Visual SourceSafe
Hi all
Is there any possibility that I can communicate to the Microsoft's Visual SourceSafe database? All I need to do is to get a list of files and folders(whole structure) of my project in VSS. is there any way to get the whole structure? Thanx
Visual SourceSafe Error
I hope this is the right place for this.
I have my VB source files in VSS. I am trying to make additional user accounts in the SourceSave administrator program. When I try to make the account it gives me the following error - "Invalid DOS path: 10.0.0.121d$files2006decusers".
What is the problem? I think the program is getting confused with the IP address and the share location.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Visual SourceSafe Nightmare
We are using Visual SourceSafe. I had all of my files checked in, but got an error on one of the forms. So I checked it out, did some very minor adjustments and checked it in again. Now VSS has removed the form from my project and refuses to let me add it again, saying stupid things like
'' could not be loaded
and
Not a valid container
about my (very ordinary) file menu ! Does anyone know what to do in this case ?

Visual SourceSafe Problem
On my computer I am not having any issues, but my boss is having the problem.
I can check in the project and check out the project with no problems.

Any ideas?
Access And Visual Sourcesafe
Hello all,
My question, how can we share a database and it's development in VSS?
We are working on a project in MS Access XP and multiple developers have to edit the forms, modules etc. but because it's Access we can not work on it at the same time. Currently we devided the database into seperate databases and version but we have real trouble combining all versions together.
This is why we installed Visual Sourcesafe and the MS Office XP Developer kit with the Access Visual Sourcesafe Add-in. This is able to add the database and it's objects to the VSS database. BUT, here it comes, we get an popup that only the person who added the database to VSS 'should' be working on this project and the VSS options are disabled.
Again my question, how can we share a database and it's development in VSS?
Two Problems With Visual SourceSafe
I'm attempting to use VSS for the first time and when I answered "Yes" to the "Do you want to add this project..." question it presented a screen which asked for a Username. I entered one that I made up but it told me that it was "not found". What do I do? Also when I clicked the Help button nothing happened. Am I missing a file?
Visual Sourcesafe Problems
Hi,
We are using VSS to manage our VB sourcecode.
Recently we have been getting problems with VSS. The program is very slow and hangs from time to time. It reports that some files are locked or that there is an invalid handle.
We can't find out what the problem is. We are using it for years and the problems only recently began.
We have a database for each project so the size won't be a problem. Furthermore, we're using Novel Netware 6 and work with Win 2K and XP machines.
Does anybody have any idea what's going on here?
Visual Sourcesafe Problem
Hi
I placed my project into VSS and then checked it out to a working folder that I created. When I open the .vbp I get a message from sourcesafe saying that the database is unavailable. It then goes on to open the project without the red tick in the project explorer. Does anyone know what is causing the error?
Thanking you in advance

Interdev And Visual SourceSafe
Hi guys,
Anyone run into anything like this?
I am trying to get interdev working with a visual source safe database that is not on my web server and its not on my workstation its on seperate server.
When I try to add a project to control source from visual interdev I get this: "cannot establish source control for the web application. The server does not have a source control system installed on it, or the user name is not recognized."
Visual interdev seems to always use the srcsafe.ini thats on my web servers VSS common folder.
What I did was I opened this up in notepad and changes the paths to i.e. \myVSSboxMyShareCmyvssdatabase
and this actualy works..... But only from the VSS explorer.
Any ideas how i can get this to work from interdev? (if i don't change the paths in the .ini file everything works fine but it uses the vss database on my web server and i don't want that)
Thanks,

Visual Sourcesafe Is Driving Me Nuts
VSS has decided that it will always replace writeable local files regardless of whether I have configured it to Ask/Leave etc.
Im on a new machine, is there a setting I am missing somewhere? I have used
Tools->Options->Local Files->Replace local files = ask.
I've taken it out of the VB6 IDE.
Any suggestions?
Visual Sourcesafe Login Authentication
Hello
I am trying to use visual sourcesafe for the first time. i am not sure how the system authenticates VSS.
is the authentication carried out on the local machine where some sort of license file exists or does it need to authenticate with a central server.
at the moment i can see the following screen
Visual SourceSafe Login
i types in my intranet username for the username
and intranet password for the password
it is pointing to database common. when i click on browse the path it provides is
C:program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio
the checkbox "open this database next time i run Visual SourceSafe" is checked.
when i click ok it says user "foouser" not found
interestingly enough when i input the username as "guest" and try the password "guest" it says
"invalid password" which leads me to beleive it is trying to authenticate from some place, if you guys tell me if it is a central server, i can catch hold of my IT administrator and request him to give me a password or account+ password

Visual SourceSafe Integration With InterDev...
Hello,
We are trying to integrate a project into a Visual SourceSafe database (on our server) and having a hell of a time.
When we follow the directions to add the project to source control (Click Project->Source Control->Add Project to Souce Control) it creates the SourceSafe project properly, adds the SLN file to SourceSafe, but will not add any of 'our' files to SourceSafe. Any files that we created, and were not included by default when the project was created, won't add to SourceSafe.
We believe that this is a project setting issue of some kind, since we can create new projects and it works just fine. It is only with this particular project we are having issues.
Anyone else seen this or dealt with InterDev and SourceSafe?
Thanks!

Using The Visual SourceSafe Type Library
I need to loop round all the version of all the files in Visual SourceSafe and change some comments.
I've added the Microsoft SourceSafe 6.0 Type Library to my project and added the following code to form1.frm to get a reference to the VSSItem I want to change.
Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim objVSSDB As SourceSafeTypeLib.VSSDatabase
Dim objVSSItem As SourceSafeTypeLib.VSSItem
Dim objVSSVersions As SourceSafeTypeLib.IVSSVersions
Set objVSSDB = New SourceSafeTypeLib.VSSDatabase
Call objVSSDB.Open("C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual StudioCommonVSSsrcsafe.ini", "Admin", "")
Set objVSSItem = objVSSDB.VSSItem("$/Root/SubProject/Temp.vbg")
Set objVSSVersions = objVSSItem.Versions
End Sub
The problem is that the Versions property on the objVSSItem object returns a reference to IVSSVersions object. If you have a look in the Object Browser the IVSSVersions object doesn't have any properties or methods. My question is how do I use the IVSSVersions object to loop round all the different versions?
I know I can do it in Visual SourceSafe itself, but I've got 1000's of checked in files to change, so I want to automate it.
Thanks in advance
Visual SourceSafe Object Library...?
Is there such a thing? I want to be able to mess about with stuff that's in SourceSafe without using its interface, but I can't find an object library.
Visual SourceSafe V6.0 - Slow Operation
Hi,
My question relates to old technology, I know, but it's what the client uses and I have no say.
I have two laptops, each with an installation of Visual SourceSafe V6.0. On the older one (brought back into service to investigate this problem) VSS runs as normal, as it did on the other laptop, until recently. To cut a long story short, I've discovered (via WireShark) that in the period covering application launch to the request for a VSS logon id, the "good" installation takes a little over 1 second to open srcsafe.ini, look for admin.lck and open um.dat. The "bad" installation takes 13 seconds and performs numerous duplicate open/closes of srcsafe.ini and similar duplicate accesses on the data folder. This behaviour is repeatable for each installation. This is an issue because once beyond the logon screen, the problem gets worse, with multiple open/closes of the database files "aaaaaaaa" etc. making VSS unusable.
It has been suggested that a reinstall of Windows should cure the problem (I've already tried un/reinstall of VSS) but that seems a little drastic.
If any NetHeads need further info, I've got WireShark trace files - fairly manageable, size-wise - the packet count for the "bad" install is only 267.
All thoughts and suggestions gratefully accepted.
TIA
Nick Michell.

Visual Sourcesafe Issue Ssexp.exe Not Exist
Hi All,
I had Visual sourcesafe in my machine before. For some reason, I wasn't able to use VSS now. When I click on visual sourcesafe from visual studio 6.0 as usual, it said ssexp.exe not existed.
While I was trying to reinstall VSS (6.0d), got several error messages. First 'could not find Acmesetup'. I tried again then got 'this is an invalid commandline option .. and settingmyusernamelocal setting empvs60wiz.exe'.
Does something go wrong of the memory? Please help! I need to have visual sourcesafe.

Visual SourceSafe Problem - Pinned Versions.
Hi all,
I have a problem, whereby i'm trying to get pinned version numbers for source safe items.
Basically, i'm looping thru the versions (because vss doesn't expose any pinning functionality thru automation), inspecting the action tag, determining Pin and Unpin events etc.
The problem is that it seems that under certain conditions, if you have something pinned to the original version of an item, the "Created" tag seems to take precedence of the Pin action tag.
I believe the reason for this is that the original "Share" action was done by sharing a labeled version in the History dialog in the vss GUI.
My code may explain it better;
Code:
Private Function PinnedVersion(itm As SourceSafeTypeLib.VSSItem) As Long
'/
'/ This really slows the whole shebang down, but there's just no other way...
'/
Dim version As SourceSafeTypeLib.VSSVersion, spec$, pin&, bFoundUnpin As Boolean
spec = itm.spec
pin = -1
bFoundUnpin = False
For Each version In itm.Versions
'/ Check the item spec, so as to make sure we don't get the items parent, etc,
'/ as described here
'/
'/ http://home.earthlink.net/~mbolton/t...SDefects.html,
'/
'/ under the section "The Versions collection contains items other than the VSSItem from which it is derived."
If version.VSSItem.spec = spec Then
'/ The loop is front to back (lastest to earliest).
'/ Therefore, we have to check for Unpinned events infront of a Pin event, to be sure
'/ the pin is still in effect.
If Left(version.Action, 8) = "Unpinned" Then bFoundUnpin = True
If Left(version.Action, 6) = "Pinned" Then
pin = version.VersionNumber
Exit For
End If
End If
Next
If pin > -1 And Not bFoundUnpin Then
'/ we found a pin event, with no later unpin. We'll use that then...
PinnedVersion = pin
Else
'/ didn't find any pin (or at least none that weren't later unpinned). We'll use the current version
PinnedVersion = itm.VersionNumber
End If
End Function
Anyone have any ideas how i might get the fact that a paticular version is pinned in the above case?
