Web project and VSS (source safe)

[Rusty]

My team and I all use VS.NET 2003 and we develop in the same
solution/projects. One project is web services and one is the web
application. We seem to have problems if people try to add methods to
the web services because people have to a lot of checking out and
checking in of objects in the solution.

As all of you are surely aware, every web reference has 4 objects. A
folder, a disco file, a wsdl, a map, and a cs file.

When you're working on a team, should all of these be checked into
source safe? That's what ours are and it seems to be a pain.

Any suggestions?

Change your source control provider to SourceGear Vault. www.sourcegear.com.
I did and it saved me loads on hassle with vss

The only thing you need to do is read over:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/Tdlg_rm.asp?frame=true

specifially chapters 2,3 and 4 (though the entire thing's a good read). Got
me up and running a couple times.

Thanks Karl, I have read them a few months ago and will go over them
again. But what's your opinion about checking in web references?
Specifically these files disco, wsdl, map, and cs?

Well, disco, wsdl and map are all output file. I think it's sound practice
to exclude these from your main source control repository. You can keep
output files in a separate location if you want/need. Not really sure which
"cs" file you are refering to. If it's a source code file, then obviously it
would be the main thing you add to your source control.

Do they have an updated version of the documentation for VSS 2005 and Visual
Studio 2005?
