Cannont Get VSS2005 to Work with VS2005

I've installed, deinstalled and reinstalled at least 3 times now, VS2005 first, then VSS2005. Running VS2005 does not show any items that deal with VSS. Both apps work fine individually, but I cannot access VSS within VS.

    Hi Ravi,

    I'm not sure I understand your question "can a project have all these editions ". You can create managed web projects with any of these editions.

    You should look at this page for differences between Pro and VSTeam editions.

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/compare/

    and at this one for differences between the VSTS Editions

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/vsts/compare/

    and see if you need the extra features of the Team editions...

    Thanks Alin,

    I have one more query. well it is more basic but i am looking for an answer. I have to start with a project and din't yet decided for which Visual Studio Edition.

    some says take Team Suite and some recommends for professional edition.

    I have looked in microsoft product web site but really didn't find my answer for this query. Can you please tell me

    I am having a small team to start with. It is Web related project(integrated with mobile too) and i want that to be a code managed and well documented. Can u please suggest me the Visual Studio Edition. if Team Suite then (what are Architect, Testers and Developers editions are). Are they separate components of Visual Studio Team Suite. and if yes., can a project have all these editions. Please answer my query. I am just puzzled may be i have asked these to many persons and has got mix up with all suggestion.. It is last when i am asking you. I am new to startwith DOTNET Framework.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,

    I get installed VS2005 professional edition , but i don't find visual source safe in it.

    Do we need visual source safe sofware separate. ISN't VSS inbuilt in VS2005.

    Please reply to me.

    Thanks

    Ravi

    Hi,

    Open VS2005, and under Tools->Options, select the "source control" option.

    Make sure that the "current source control plug-in" is the VSS2005 ("microsoft visual source safe")

    Ido.

    No, VSS2005 is not included with VS2005 Profesional editions. Here is what each version contains http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/compare/default.aspx

    You'll need to buy VSS separately.

    Also,

    If 'Source Control' is missing when you select 'Tools/Options', then you need to check the 'Show all settings' checkbox at the bottom of the Options screen.

    And make sure you run a VS 2005 edition that supports source control integration (VS Express Editions don't support this integration)

    Thanks. That worked. On my other installs, I didn't need to do that.
