Two Providers Problem

superchief · Post by **superchief** » Tue Oct 10, 2006 8:39 am

In the company we have 2 source control providers. One of our external developers uses vault and we use source safe.

The reason for using source safe was a cost issue in the end, we had enough licenses for source safe internally.

Anyway onto the problem. Since source safe was installed onto pc's, any project that is in vault is now inaccessable. It says that the source control binding is invalid. Well that is fair enough but how on earth do i change the source provider?

I am using Visual Studio 2003. Thanks in advance

Within the Vault GUI client, in the options, you can make Vault the Default Source Code Control provider.

Now if you need to switch back and forth you have a couple of different options:

a) For integrated solutions, you'll have to make registry changes to HKLM\Software\SourceCodeControlProvider\ProviderRegKey

b) You can use a Source Code Control switch tool such as Sourcecode Control Switcher - http://www.codeproject.com/tools/sccswitcher.asp
