How to do ASP project in Team

[Pumkin]

Hello guys,

I just want to ask your opinion on how is better to work in a team. We have a big project and I would like to divide it between other members. The problem is how can we do that without making several different projects and at the end put them together.

How do you usually work in ASP.NET in team?

You should use some form of source control such as Visual SourceSafe that way you all work on the same project (although copies are kept locally) and you can't overwrite someone elses work.

Could you explain me how we can put the project together at the end? Or we should put it meanwhile we work?
I am now reading some documentation on Source Control.

Source Safe, lends its self to OO programming quite well. You all work on the same project at the same time but only work on one part of it at a time per person. This means you can work on the interface of a form while your colleague works on a class used by the form, alternativley, you could both work on different forms or classes. The main idea is that only one person can check out an object to work on at any one time, if someone else wants to work on it then the object first has to be checked back in. The more a project is split up the more people can work on different parts of it. The project is never physically spil up thus doesnt have to be put back together. We do our developments on a shared network drive.

Planning and allocation would also be quite important, as you don't want the same page being conflicted and fought over by two people.
