1 Project and 2 or more developers

#1 09-08-2008, 06:40 AM

Hi All,

I want to start a discussion about the following:

What method are you using to manage a project when 2 or more
programmers has to work on the same project ?

Whitin a week, a new programmer comes to help me, so I have to share my
sources with him. When working on 1 big project (1 EXE), how to see
what the new guy has changed and how to build in this changes in the
project.

Hai,

Visual SourceSafe is what we use for years now.
It works great, also for other shared dev like VS or Websites

Hi Dirk,

Version 6 or 2005.

The other tools are not certified by VO devteam if I remember
well the SCC (Source Control Software) doc but you can try
opensource ones like Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/)
or CVS (http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/). All the list here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ntrol_software

The most important is that the system implements the Microsoft
Common Source Code Control API. (Also called the SCC API or
SCCI.)

We use PVCS, but of course we get no interaction between VO and PVCS
and we've used external .prg files always. On nthat basis is will
certainly be _possible_ to use another Source Code management package,
but you'll have some compromises that may be important to you or not.

How to work with such tools under VO2.8? Is there any basic
documentation available?

Harry,

There is some documentation in the helpfile, The Visual Objects IDE->
VO'Subsystem -> Source Code control.
But this is very basic.
You should try to get your hands on the sessionpaper of Robert's session on
this subject. He did this session as far as I know only once, at DevFest
2005. If you ask him, i am sure you can get it. If he cannot find it, I
have got it right here on my PC.

Hi,

I suggest you to read the documentation of the tool (for VSS,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2005/aa718670.aspx +
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...38(VS.80).aspx)
then the SCC VO interface will be very easy to understand.

Check also the VO helpfile and this NG where people discussed
about it : very useful !

HTH,

Thank you for your answers, Erik & Phil!

The basics I wanted to know are answered by the helpfile allready: "...
based on module files ... Microsoft Common Source Control API compliant
...."! So now I'll search for a freeware tool like Dirk did, too, to make
some expeiences.
