| I was wondering if these tools are necessary to create a good program. If they are, maybe I can convince my company to buy them! Are there tools which work with VB, VB.net and SQL server?Adi-------------------------/me sux @sql server |

| In my opinion... it doesn't.Most projects inside Microsoft don't use VSS so why would anybody else. It's main problem is that it ties you to a network share so it's horrible for remote working. It also has a tendancy to corrupt files. I have lost a project with it once.Here are some others to look at :www.CVSNT.org is my choice.Vault from www.sourcegear.com Vault looks and feels like VSS, but is MUCH better. It runs on IIS and SQL 2000 too.Perforce. A lot of people swear by perforceDamian |

| Let me confirm some of Damian's comments. I work from home. In the last few months I have used both VSS and CVS across a VPN connection (768K DSL on my end). VSS was PAINFULLY slow and if I tried to check-in or -out more than one file at a time, it had a nasty habit of corrupting the entire VSS database (I'd get some weird message about a failed delayed write that would popup in my systray). I was using the VSS application, without integration into a development environment. However, using CVS from within Sun One Studio, I didn't have any corruption problems and the performance was good. (Note, VSS worked fine for me when I was physically attached to the same network that the source database was on, but just dogged it when going across the 'net/VPN.)--------------------------------------------------------Visit the SQLTeam Weblogs at [url]http://weblogs.sqlteam.com[/url] |
