Can someone comment on what is the best way to set up a team development

environment with ASP.NET? We want to develop a three-tier web application

and we want it to be version-controlled with Visual SourceSafe. I know how

to do that in Visual InterDev but it seems the rules have changed with

VS.NET. I would really appreciate it you could send me steps to follow on

what works best with Beta1 for team development.





Thank you,

Currently we are using the .NET SDK, not VS.NET.  This might no be your

situation, but here's how I am doing it currently:



1 - we use the .NET SDK and ASCII editor right now.

2 - project lead creates target web on a shared machine on the network

3 - project lead 'seeds' the target with config.web, default.aspx, etc to

start

4 - project lead usees SourceSafe 6.0 to pull those files into a new VSS

project

5 - developers use their VSS client to open the VSS project and do a GET to

pull readonly files onto local workstations

6 - developers perform the usual CHECK-OUT/IN against the VSS project

7 - after reivews, project lead uses the WEB DEPLOY method in VSS to export

the VSS version to the target web on the shared box



This have been working great for some time in Beta1 without trouble.



Hope this helps.

Mike,



It did really helped. I wasn't aware of the Web deploy option in VSS.



1. Before step 5, do developers have to manually create the web application

on their local machines before getting the files? The reason I am asking

this is that I've noticed that VS.NET refuses to create a web application if

the designated folder already exists? 



2. Do you use File Share web access mode or such a beast doesn't exist with

.NET SDK?





Thank you for your help.

Yeah, each developer has a running web on their own machine. To create our

webs locally, each dev creates a folder on their Win2k Server machines and

then does a right-click > properties > web folder tab operation on it (We

all make sure we use the same fodler name, too!).



To remind you, we are not using VS.NET right now.  Bit too buggy and slow

for us here.  Instead we are using a third party editor (cuteHTML,

actually).



Here's a very short article I wrote on all this:

I don't have the Web Projects tab. What could it be?



Thanks!
