Visual source safe and multiple verions of Visual Studios

[Aaron Moore]

Hello!

I am beginning to use visual source safe 2005. My company has projects in
visual studios 2003, 2005 and now 2008. How can you keep another designer
from opening a project in the wrong development environment? Should i
seperate them into different VSS databases or something?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Aaron:

Good idea! That it one way, and most likely the cleanest.

Another way to differentiate things would be to use the project name
within the solution/project files ( Sol-VS2008.sln and Proj1-VS2008.proj ).

OR

you could place things in VSS database paths with types of
($/VS2008/Sol and $/VS2008/Sol/Proj).

However, it really shouldn't matter. As when one opens the incorrect
project in the wrong environment, I **think** the IDE will complain

a) it is a version it doesn't understand (VS 2003 opening a VS 2008
solution/project)

or

b) it will try to upgrade the files (VS 2008 opening VS 2003).

That is the same thing I was thinking- name them with 2005, 2008, etc. My
concern about this is because I have had web.config file in 2003 web
applications get messed up when accidently opening in vs 2005. I guess i'll
have to do the name thing.

Thanks for your help!
