Visual Studio 2005 and Visual SourceSafe 2005

Hi all,

Current Situation:
- 5 Developers
- VS 2005 Pro and VSS client plug-in installed on all 5 developer computers.
- VSS installed on a development server. Already created a VSS Database with 2 projects/folders (let's call it A and B)

Question:
How do I use the shared VSS project from VS 2005 Pro

Thanks in advance.
Lucas

    Thanks Roman,

    I already have looked at those links and everywhere else one can think of, I was afraid that they were no longer valid since they were written for VSS 6.0.

    Anyhow, your comments did help since we figured out why we were not able to pull a project added directly to VSS.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Here is a good place to start:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnvss/html/vssbest.asp

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/tdlg_rm.asp

    In general it should probably go like this:

    First user adds the solution to Source Control using VS (not VSS)

    Other users open this solution from Source Control to their computers using VS (not VSS). After that everyone doing normal development with check-in out files before modifying them and check-in files back in after check-in criteria is met (change code reviewed, tested etc)

    You open from SCC only once. Later you simply open the solution from disk.
