Visual source safe Help

[Nithya Jayaker]

Hello, I have a .NET 05 WINDOWS BASED solution and it is on continuous development stage. I want to give my seniors in UK the regular changes that takes place in my soln, code or design. It came to my mind that y not prepare a client-server based application and put it in visual studio 05 source control wherein the server is my seniors system and mine is the client. What all changes i do just has to be checked-in in the server when connected thru WAN or even thru Internet? First of all is this possible. And if yes, how should both the systems be configured? Thanks in advance, :) Nithya Thilagar

It is possible but I would not try to use VSS. I suggest SVN[^]. If you make a connection over the Internet you should use a VPN!

If you can host a web server, you could write some simple C/C++ code to look at time stamps in a shadow folder and upload changed files to your web server. If you were worried about security (and you should be, on behalf of your clients), you might want to create an encrypted ZIP file, which might be better anyway, since the file sizes come right down. BTW, if you're contracting for them, the term would be 'clients' not 'seniors'. In this context it read to me as if they were just older than you, which may be true, of course :) Steve S Developer for hire
