VB6 Compatability

Any chance that there is a way to get Fortress to work in the old VB 6 IDE?

We are still supporting some old legacy apps and still need to use the old IDE for it.

Thanks. :

Yes, Fortress will still be compatible with VB6 and Visual Studio 2003.

How do I integrate Fortress into the Visual InterDev IDE? I do not see it under the View/Other Windows menu option.

InterDev was never supported. Were you using it under an older version?

No.

I am supporting several older projects that we use the Visual Interdev IDE for, and would like to know how I can use the task-tracking feature of Fortress with it.

Sorry, by older version I was thinking Vault. InterDev is not supported on any of our products. You can give it a try yourself if you wish. Just check out our articles on IDE integration under Vault: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=792.

Here is our beginning article on the overview of IDE integration: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=790

The task tracking is part of all the source control package with Fortress. When you check in files with changes, you have the option to update tasks.

You can also use Fortress without the IDE integration. It can still store your files.

Is there a way to use the task features of Fortress (create new tasks, update others, etc.) outside of the Visual Studio IDE? Is there a web interface for doing this?

Yes, there is. You can either go to http://<servername>/fortress and find a link to log into your page or go to it directly at http://<servername>/VaultService/VaultWeb/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fVaultService%2fVaultWeb%2fDefault.aspx

That will work for what we need.

Thanks.
