The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows, version 5.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you Get a source-controlled Visual Basic project from Visual SourceSafe
Explorer, the Mssccprj.scc file does not contain SCC_Aux_Path information.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. This problem has been corrected in Visual
SourceSafe 6.0.
MORE INFORMATION
================
If you add a Visual Basic project to Visual Sourcesafe, Visual SourceSafe
creates a Mssccprj.scc file in the project folder. The .scc file will have the
following information:
SCC=This is a Source Code Control file
[Project1.vbp]
SCC_Project_Name = "$/KB/KB5", TJAAAAAA
SCC_Aux_Path=C:\VSS,
SCC_Project_Name is the path to the Visual SourceSafe project the Visual Basic
project is associated with and TJAAAAAA is its physical file name.
SCC_Aux_Path is the path to the Visual SourceSafe database the Visual Basic
project associated with.
However, if you perform a Get Latest Version on the Visual Basic project from the
Visual SourceSafe Explorer, SCC_Aux_Path information is not written in the
Mssccprj.scc file.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Open Visual Basic.
2. Create a standard .exe project, and save the project under C:\proj1.
3. Add the project to SourceSafe under $/proj1.
4. Close Visual Basic.
5. Open Windows Explorer, and go to C:\proj1.
6. Open Mssccprj.scc file in Notepad.exe. The following information is in the
file:
SCC=This is a Source Code Control file
[Project1.vbp]
SCC_Project_Name = "$/Proj1", TJAAAAAA
SCC_Aux_Path=C:\VSS,
7. Close Mssccprj.scc file.
8. Delete all the files under C:\Proj1.
9. Open Visual Sourcesafe Explorer, right-click the Project $/Proj1, and click
Get Latest Version.
10. If it is not already there, type "C:\proj1" in the "To" edit box.
11. Repeat steps 6-8, and you will find the following information in the
Mssccprj.scc file:
SCC=This is a Source Code Control file
[Project1.vbp]
SCC_Project_Name = "$/Proj1", TJAAAAAA
