Shutdown Visual Studio 2005. Then from within the SourceOffSite client, go to Tools -> Options, and enable the Make SOS the default Source Code Control (SCC) provider.

When you restart VS 2005, you should now see the SOS provider.

Hi Jeff,

Thanx for your Reply. I have already slected SOS my default source control and it is intigrated with VS.net IDE as it is showing in File menu. But When I change my source control to MS VSS as per the above figure then obviosly SOS will not appear in file menu. Now again i want to select SOS to be used my default source control then above figure should show SOS as an enrty in drop down as it has for MS VSS and NONE. So that i can change the sourse control to SOS from MS VSS as i changed earlier to MS VSS when it was SOS previously.

I hope you got it now what i am trying to explain.

Thanx for your support.

Regards,
Vivek

Try to "uncheck", hit OK, and then re-open the Options dialog and "recheck" the default SCC controller from within SOS client.

Visual Studio 2005 stores the list of providers in a different registry location than previous versions of VS. The SOS installer does not write the data to that location, so only toggling this option from within the SOS 4.2 client (not in earlier version) will write data to the correct registry location.
