No File -> Source Control menue   

Hi,
I'm trying to add some of my projects/solutions to VSS, but I don't have 
Source Control in the File menu. I have the same problem in Visual Studio 
2003 and in Visual Studio 2005, with both existing and new solutions/projects.

Do I have to install anything before I can use SourseSafe from Visual Stidio 
..NET 2003/2005?

Thanks

Re: No File -> Source Control menue   

Hi,

Have you installed VSS or any other source control provider?
VSS6.0d ss on a separate CD for VS2003 (if you have VS2003 Enterprise 
editions), and for VS2005 it's downloadable from MSDN site (if you have a 
premium subscription). Otherwise you have to buy the product separately,
Integrated source control operations are supported for VS2003 in 
Professional and Enterprise, and for VS 2005 in Std, Pro and VSTS Editions.
Assuming you installed VSS and you have an edition of VS2005 supporting 
integration, for VS2005 you must also set it as the active provider from 
Tools/Options/SourceControl/Plug-ins.
If nothing shows there, I suggest you reinstall VSS so it will repair the 
registry keys you might have missing.

I installed VSS on my machine and it's working now.
