Greeting;



   My client has a very unique request: he wanted to use Visual Source

Safe to store a copy of the programs/scripts and at the same time he

wanted to keep a copy at the development server also. He did not want too

many steps to be taken by programmer. This request has been cracking my

head for past 1 or 2 weeks but still can't get any clue: I am searching

how to make both the development server and Visual Source Safe

synchronize. Is there anyway that when the program in check in back to

Visual Source Safe, the corresponding program is save to development

server also. Any suggestion?



   I desperately hope someone can help me on this. Also, whether this

process can be done by script or freeware.



   Thanks, please help me urgently.

I'm not quit sure what it is exactly you're trying to do.  Let me know if

I'm wrong.  You have a development server, with IIS, and you have a source

safe database.  You would like to be such that when you check files in

source safe, the development server is updated as well.  If this is the

case, there's two ways to this:

1)  Use Visual InterDev (VID), to connect to your development server, then

from the Project Explorer window, right click on the project file, and click

on "Add to Source Control....".  VID and VSS will take of the integration.

2)  From IIS, go to the Server Extensions tab, you'll see the Version

Control option, select the User External option, then click on the Edit

button next to it, and enter the project name (from VSS).



I don't know what you set up is so I really can't get specific on the step

by step instructions, nor I can't guarantee it'll work.  This has worked for

IIS 5.0 on a Win2K machine.  I have VSS and IIS on the same server

(physical).

Thanks Michael; what you mentioned here is correct, we have two servers:

development and Source safe database. We would like to maintain the version

control and at the same time keeps a copy at the development server. We also

used other development tools like VB, AutoCAD, Oracle scripts ... etc. I

will adopt your suggestion for the ASP portion, but is there a way that I

can write a automated scripts (in VB) or download freeware from somewhere? I

am thinking of having a script that can store to source safe and at the same

time keep a copy in development server (perhaps its similar to what VID

provides, but execute in scripts instead of manual driven). My client wants

his programmers to have fewer steps instead of save to source safe and then

safe to development server: "One button takes care of all".





Warmest regards.
