Advice on Source Control/Code Repository Let me explain the situation first.

Can't go wrong with Perforce..but it's a bit pricey..

If you are doing ASP.NET using VS.NET, May I suggest you to look at Vault from SourceGear.
JD
KC, do you have a link to this Guntspud?
Edward
You can also integrate Subversion with Visual Studio, but I don't recommend it, it's slow. I don't miss VSS-VS integration at all, shell integration with Tortoise rocks.

I'll second SourceGear.

Another vote for Vault (I use the free single-developer license at home). At work we use Borland's StarTeam (pricey, but good). Both use TCP/IP so they work well for VPN-connected users.

I tried to use CVS for a while ... it can be really painful.
former CVS user
Agreed. Now that Subversion hit 1.0, there's no reason not to use it. It's par with CVS on most things, and superior in many others ways. I can't think of a single thing that I lost by moving from CVS to SVN, but I did gain some pretty significant benefits.

Darn I never realized SourceSafe and SourceGear are two different things. One is the best and one is the worst? This is too confusing. Somebody needs to change the name of their product to clear this up or half the people are going to avoid the good product and buy the bad one.
Dennis Atkins
Oh and for me I use CVS. It's OK and its free. It can be annoying to deal with in some ways but you always know its available. It's the C language of source control - you should know it just in case.
Dennis Atkins
The disadvantage of Subversion is that drivers are not yet available for all tools. CVS on the otherhand seems to have drivers that plug into everything.
Dennis Atkins
Dennis, I believe the company name is SourceGear, not the product. The product is Vault. They also make a product to help SourceSafe users.

Yeah, I know it when I think about it, but when just reading a thread there is a phoneme collision in the mindshare space. So when reading that Source Safe is bad, I think "Poor Eric!" and only after a while do I realize that the person doesn't mean vault. This made me realize that many people who hear that Source Safe is rotten end up believing that Vault is rotten.
Dennis Atkins
What besides the Vault and SourceSafe also integrates into VB6 and VS.NET ide?
Poof
Jalindi Igloo <use google> installs CVS inside VS6 and VB6 - works well enough for me. There's also a Zeus CVS adapter for VS6/VB6 and one called "PushOK". Never tried those.

We've been VSS for about 6 years but are in the middle of a migration to Subversion w/ the Tortoise shell extensions for windows.

I gotta say that our team has been using Source Safe for the last year with no problems. Our admin put the repository on a linux box and I don't know if that helps. No corruption. Everything as worked just as expected.

No, it doesn't help. It's not transactional. You can get partially changed files with VSS, because it's based entirely on file sharing. There's no server component at all.

Robert 'Groby' Blum
You completely dropped the context that I was comparison Subversion to CVS. CVS does not support exclusive locking, nor Unicode files as text files. Subversion is not behind the curve here at all.

To manage MSDE, load SQL Server's Enterprise Manager

>> does anyone know a way to administer MSDE 2000? For the life of me, I cannot find anywhere how to tinker with MSDE options besides what I see in VS.Net 2003
Mike Schinkel
"Anybody done this (VSS to Subversion) and got any pointers for the migration of version history?"
