help with starting out!

Post by shwouchk » Mon Nov 01, 2004 5:22 pm

hello!

im just starting out, and finished installing/configuring/reading help

i still have a few questions, etc.... first of all, im using VS 2k5 Express... so i understand that I wont be able to have Vault integrated into my IDE?

If so, im adding the files to the vault, and from what i see, i need to add them one by one, and also create each directory... is that correct? it seems kinda unconvenient... i thought i would be able co commit a whole directory recursively, or some such... am i doing something wrong? thanks!

Here's the quickest way to accomplish this on Vault 2.0.6.

1) Get a main directory in the shape you would like it to look like in your source tree. Delete any unwanted directories / files. Make sure the names of all files are correct. For example, we use src/ as the directory for all of Vault's source files.

2) Invoke Add Files/Folders. Pick the parent where you would like to add the directory. Most people use something like $/trunk or $/product/trunk

3) On the Add dialog, highlight the folder on the left side of the dialog, and click Add. This will place the folder in the list below. Click OK to add the entire directory to the Repository's source tree.

With that said, things will be a little bit different in Vault 3.0. You will have more control over what gets added ( file list exclusions, manual control over sub directories, etc ).

We are excited about the release as well. Unfortunately, this release will not contain any support for the VS .Net 2005 Beta.

I've put your name down into a list of people requesting the integration.

You mentioned you were using VS.Net 2005 Express.

Just to set the right expectations, I wanted to point out that the Express versions of all the MS product lines do not contain any support Source Control integation. See the "Source Code Control" feature in http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/pr ... fault.aspx for more information.
