Versioning in Visual Studio 2005
-
Hi, I'm using Visual Studio 2005 to develop C++/CLI code. I need to go back to a project from a few months ago and make some modifications but I dont want to modify the current working project. What I would like to do is create a new version (same code, different name) of the project so I can make modifications to the new version. Does anyone have a link to any article that will describe how to create a new version from an eisting version? I have been searching on the web but I havn't found anything. Thanks, Buck

A good version control system (like Subversion[^]) would make this relatively easy. You can always copy the code to a new folder and change the project name and settings. You could also use the existing code and use conditional compilation directives to include/exclude code depending on the build. Mark
