Taking the SourceSafe 2005 Plunge!

Wednesday, April 20, 2005

I'm on a quest to answer the question: "Can Visual Studio .NET 2003 work with Visual SourceSafe 2005?" I'm learning some cool things about SourceSafe along the way, so the next few posts will probably be SourceSafe related.

Yes it can and quite happily. The performance has been improved somewhat. And for those that won't be able buy Team Foundation is it now a viable option.

I've been using SourceSafe 2005 with 2003 since November and haven't had a problem. You have to have .NET 2.0 installed, but otherwise it works great for me. (Stand alone setup, mind you)

Does it work outside of LANs?

I've been using 2005 as well one one of my laptops and it seems to work fine with VS2003 so far. I was a little suprised the first time I opened up VS2003 and saw the VSS 2005 prompt!
