SourceCode control from VS2005

[Xavier]

Hello,

here is a code snippet I use to check out a file from a VS2005 Addin. The problem is that no files are considered as under Source code control (bSCC is always false)
I use the Fortress Enhanced Client, is it why it fails ?
Is it expected to work ?
If not,is there a simple C++ way to check out a fortress file ?

Code: Select all

      CComPtr<SourceControl>  pSC;
      VARIANT_BOOL bSCC;
      if (SUCCEEDED (m_application->get_SourceControl (&pSC)))
             CHECKHR (hr = pSC->IsItemUnderSCC (CComBSTR (strFullName), &bSCC));

Thanks

Xavier

It looks like you're trying to check a file out using the MSSCCI API. Then enhanced client doesn't use this API.

If you could clarify what you're trying to do, I might be able to provide more guidance.

This is very simple

To ensure that we have correct versions of our applications, our addin checks out the .rc files of the projects, increment the build number each time a build is successful and in case of multiple projects ensure that they all have X.Y.n.m with X and Y the same for all projects.

This means, for example, that all projects of a solution are numbered 3.0.x.y with x, y being related to build number
That we never release a version having the same version than a former one (we often provide small patches so it's very useful for us).

I hope this is clear.

Last remark, the add in is developped in C++ and provices many other feature I would really be reluctant to use c# as it would take very long to adapt it

Thanks

The enhanced Visual Studio client wasn't designed with extensibility in mind at that layer. We do, however, ship an extensibility API. It's a set of .NET libraries, so C++ isn't the easiest way to use it but it's certainly possible.

You can download the Fortress 1.1.3 client API and documentation here.
