Concurrent Development Style - Per User Setting?

mshe · Post by **mshe** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 12:56 am

Is the Concurrent Development Style a per user setting or a global setting?

If it's per user, would there be any problems if I use CVS style while someone else uses the exclusive lock model?

Also, is the CVS style compatible with VS.NET 2003?

Thanks!

Concurrent development style is a client-side setting and is not global.
With CVS mode you can edit a file without checking it out. If other users are using exclusive locks on the same files you're editing, you would not be able to commit your changes until they checked in and unlocked the files.

We don't recommend using CVS mode if you work with the IDE, as Visual Studio expects VSS style -- checkout, edit, checkin.

I've had some success using non-exclusive checkouts in VS2005 and then merging if there are concurrent edits.
