I am in the process of writing a new Sourcesafe client using the SS API given with Sourcesafe 2005. I am having a problem. The Date column in the file list is supposed to show the Checkout Date if the file is checked out or the last revision check in date. Now when I implement this using the VSSVersions, the application becomes extremly slow. I could figure out why MS Client is fast and mine is slow. Then I download the complete VSS Client Automation example written in VB.NET from microsoft site and looked at that code. Matches mine. There example runs slow as well. Then I noticed that the date in the MS VSS Client 2005 does not look correct. If does not match the latest revision data of the file when looking at file histories... Where is the MS VSS Client getting this date? If is completly wrong.... -- Nishal Patel
