• Jegant Recursive version builds

  Since VSS uses labels rather then version/revision, shouldn't it also support a recursive get by label.  The documentation indicates it is better to only use labels.  And I prefer to minimize sharing and branching.  But it doesn't look like labeling is an option.  We typically only move around a compressed VSS for code updates--we're geographically dispersed.  Without a recursive get labeled, there isn't any reasonble wa ...Show All

  Seems simple, but somehow I got stuck on this one. I've got a TreeView bound to some Hierarchical Data. I want to progmatically set the TreeView to have an item initially selected after I populate the Hierarchical data. SelectedItem and SelectedValue are read only, so that's a no go.
