Hi,

Does anyone have any comments on using Source Safe with Vis Studio.NET with
server extensions?

We have a combination of developers with LAN access and developers without
LAN access and we would like to use source safe with Visual Studio.NET.

Microsoft's documentation suggests this can be accomplished with Front Page
Server extensions.  We have tried to do this, but we have run into some
difficulty with such things as security and the anonymous account on the
server that runs IIS.

Any insight / articles / suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Eric Bowden

The only way to use VSS without LAN access (if you can call it that)
is to use a VPN over the internet. You must have file-based access to
the file server holding the VSS database. If you think the
documentation says different, point me to the right place. I don't
think so.

There are third party products that facilitate this:

SourceOffSite (www.sourcegear.com)
Sekonden SourceWeb (http://sourceweb.sekonden.se/SekondenITAB.htm)
VSS.net (http://www.dmbcllc.com/products.htm)
