VSS.NET
Vss.net will allow you to use Visual SourceSafe™ over the Internet by implementing a Web Service on the server side and a dotNet WinForms client on the client side.

  • Checkin, CheckOut, Get, and Undo CheckOut
  • Interface is similar to Microsoft's Visual SourceSafe™
  • Works using either http or https protocols
  • Virtually no firewalling issues.  No ports to open.
  • Date and Time display relative to Client side clock.

The source we are providing is for what would have been version 2.0 of this product.  It is a work in progress, that has not been tested, but provides the following additional features not found in the 1.66 version which is stable:

  • The VSS Automation interface has been replicated.
  • The History screen has been partially implemented and could be finished if someone has a mind to add the code, using the automation interface.
  • The Basic Authentication has been moved from a separate module to an event in the global.asax.cs file (but it otherwise the same)
