Could anyone tell me how to resolve it? Thanks!

This looks like a .Net error. I don't think we've seen this error before with SourceOffSite.

I could use more information.

Is this a new error? Was SOS working properly before? If it was working before, what may have changed?

Do you get any errors on the client side? What operations are you attempting?

What version of SourceOffSite Server are you using?

What operating system is it installed on and is it 32- or 64-bit?

What version(s) of the .Net Framework is on the SourceOffSite server machine? Look in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework for folders of the versions installed.

What version of SourceSafe are you using?

We also need to know the exact SourceSafe Automation Component version. To determine which version of the SourceSafe Automation Component (ssapi.dll) is used by SOS Server, look under this registry key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{783CD4E4-9D54-11CF-B8EE-00608CC9A71F}\InprocServer32

The value will have the path to the specific ssapi.dll file used by SOS Server. For the version information, locate the ssapi.dll file. Right click on the ssapi.dll file, choose Properties->Version.

Are there any errors in the Windows Event viewer relate to the error?
