Abstract

SourceSafe / VSS is a version control tool used by many Windows developers. I started to use SourceSafe in 1995. Before I started to work on SourceAnywhere for VSS (a VSS remote access tool) in 2003, I only used very basic features of SourceSafe and did not even use integration in Visual Studio. After successfully launching SourceAnywhere for VSS, our team started another product, SourceAnywhere, the SQL-based VSS replacement. During the development process of these products I gained a deeper and deeper understanding of SourceSafe. In this SourceSafe How To series / tutorial, I will write some guides, How To and FAQs about SourceSafe and will also post resources I found on the internet. This series will cover some basic and intermediate topics of SourceSafe as well as some advanced topics.
