Vault 7.2.1 and VS2013 Integration

[mscurto]

I am relatively new to Vault and I am trying to integrate 7.2.1 with Visual Studio 2013. Does anyone have any simple instructions to accomplish? I can see where I would typically select the plug-in inside Visual Studio (Under Tools/Options/Source Control) however the option for Vault is not there. I know I am missing a step to get the plug-in itself but am unclear how to accomplish.

I've searched the forums and so far come up empty. Please help.

Thanks,

Mike

Are you using Visual Studio 2013 Express by any chance?

[mscurto]

Yes. I afraid to ask but does it not integrate with the Express version?

[mskrobul]

Unfortunately, Visual Studio Express does not support any Source Control Plugins. VS Express has a limited feature set and that is a feature not offered in Express. You will need to use the stand alone Vault GUI client to perform Source Code operations if you use VS Express.

Note that the VS 2013 community edition is also free and does support SCC plugins, so if you want Vault integration you could try the community version:

Also, for your reference here is a link to the Vault Compatibility chart:

Hopefully the VS Community Edition provides what you're looking for.
