Multiple developers on on asp.net website

Me and my co-worker each got a copy of our website (asp and asp.net) on our machines, and a copy of the database.
The live version of the site and database are hosted in another city.

Each work on his version, and ftp changes over....and it became a nightmare.

We both need to work on the same web project and database.

I got us a server (Windows 2000), and will install Visuals Studio 2003 and SQL Server 2000 on it.

But something tells me that we will not just be able to open the web project on the server from our local machines from the Visual Studio installed on our machines.

What is the right way to go about?

Visual Source Safe.

I know about source safe, but no idea about howto set it up, and i dont really have time for that at the moment

all i want is to set up my web project to enable 2 or more developers to work on it at the same time....on a seperate machine

You don't need to know much about it. Just install it on each of your machines, one of you should add all the project files to it in a folder, create accounts for each of you, and use it from there.

If you go by any other route which is more manual, you're bound to head towards more nightmares.

Thanks M
I dont have source safe (or is it hidden somewhere in VS 2003 Pro, or VB6 Enterprise...the only software I got)
I still would like to set up the project on the server (just did a full install of VS 2003 Pro on it), but not so sure how I'm suppose to go ahead.

It sucks here (China).....cant find legal software, and the pirated stuff is all in Chinese!

Tell me, if i get VS2005 Enterprise, can I use the Source Safe that comes with it (apparantly) for new asp.net 2 apps, asp.net 1.1 apps, and old vb6 appliations? Wil lI be able to host both asp.net 1.1 and 2 apps on the same machine in IIS?

1. VSS is actually more independent of Visual Studio than you think. It's Visual Studio that integrated well with VSS, not the other way around. This means that you can use VSS for anything. In fact, we are currently using VSS for a scripted language project, the only editor of which is notepad.exe.

2. Do you have an MSDN subscription? It comes with an MSDN subscription. And I think VSS 2005 is separate. There are also other versioning control software such as... Merant (I don't know if I have the name right).

3. If VSS 2005 comes with VS 2005 Enterprise, then you can use it for anything.

4. You can host both ASP.NET 1.1 and ASP.NET 2.0 apps on the same machine in IIS.

5. Yes, but the women...
