SourceSafe Problems
Hi, I'm running into a lot of sourcesafe problems and I'm sure that somebody else must've had the same issues.
Right now we run a development server with the dotnet project in http://development2/dotnet
now what works now works fine, but I'm having the hardest time adding a new project to it. The current solution is located in \\Development2\c\Inetpub\iemployee\DotNet\dotnet.sln
now I'm wondering how I am suppose to add a project under the DotNet solution and have it work with sourcesafe and vs.net. If someone could tell me the proper way to do it, I'd appriciate it. I've been playing around with it but i've had no success.
TIA

It is a pain in the butt.
The basic thing you want to do is to create a folder in your source safe working directory. This will house the solution files. Create a blank solution there. Then create a subfolder in that newly created folder. This will be your website directory (virtual directory). You right click on that folder and select properties, and enable web sharing. Now you can create a web project in that folder and everything is kept together. Then check in your solution to source safe.
When someone else checks out the solution, it would be wise if they reproduce the same folder structure you produced above. They also have to make that website folder a virtual folder so you can check out the project files to it.
It is a pain, but once you get it straight, it isn't that bad.

ok thanks, but we already have a webserver pointed to \\Development2\c\Inetpub\iemployee\
which would be http://development2/
Do we still need to create a webshare then?
