SourceOffSite and VSS

frankiwilson · Post by **frankiwilson** » Mon Apr 26, 2004 10:00 am

I am working on 2 projects. One is using VS.NET 2002 and one is VS.NET 2003. The one using VS.NET 2003 is on a VSS database that has SourceOffSite 3.5.3 installed. The one using VS.NET 2002 is not. So I really need to have VS.NET 2002 use VSS client for source code control and VS.NET 2003 to use SOS.

Is this possible? Maybe a reg tweak?

Thanks,
Frank

You can change your default source code control provider in the SOS GUI Client under Tools->Options->General. Check "Make SOS your default SCC provider" to enable integration with SOS. Uncheck it to work on your VS.NET 2002 project with VSS.

But when I do that, it also changes it for VS.NET 2003. What I want is for VSS to handle VS.NET 2002 and for SOS to handle VS.NET 2003. Is that possible?

Another way of asking this is: how does VS.NET know which SCC provider to use? Is it a registry setting?

Thanks,
Frank

When you change the default SCC provider in the SOS GUI client, it changes the registry for SCC provider. Both VS.NET 2002 and 2003 use this setting to determine what to integrate with.

To use VSS for source control integration, uncheck the option to make SOS the default SCC provider in the SOS Client.
