Anyone used Visual SourceSafe with C# ?

Hi guys, i am relatively new to C# and the VS.NET 2003 enviroment.I am currently developing a web-based application for my team onsite to allow programmers to rebuild applications into dlls based on the labels they specified on their sourcecode found within the Visual Source Safe DB.

The primary flow can summed up like this;

1) user select csproj that they wish to rebuild

2) webpage display a list of all C# files and ALL instances labels associated with that file.

3) Select the C# files they wish to rebuild

4) Process the rebuild process.

Actually i am concerned more with how can access the VSS and actually extracting the labels associated with the C# file .

Any kind souls out there could direct me to any sites,code or advise that may help me in my development work pls

thank you

Hi Cgraus,

the issues that i need help in are;

1)How can i extract the files from VSS Can SQL be used
2)regarding the extracting all labels associated with a particular C# file .

I'd be 99.99572% sure that VSS is not SQL based, you can't be passing SQL to it.

I'm not sure on extracting labels. I'd be inclined to explore the COM interface and see what it offers. I know we have an app that connects to VSS via a web service, which I think is C#, but I'm not sure if it imports labels at all.
