Building an old version of a solution?

This might be a stupid question, but as a long time Vault user I just realised I don't know the answer to it.

Suppose I want to manually build a VS solution stored in Vault as it was at a certain date in the past. How would I go about doing that without rolling back the main solution to that date?

Every change set that gets checked in builds fine - we don't check in broken builds.

Thanks
Tom

You would want to go to your history and perform a Get of your solution from there. There will be a folder version that will most likely hold the version of your project you are looking for. You could also view history by folder version to pick out what you would like from there. Then you can build what is on disk. If you have a label on that build, you could go to Show Labels, and perform a Get from there. Performing that Get will only change what you have on disk and not make that the current version in Vault, which is what a rollback essentially does.

Brilliant. Thanks for the sanity check.
