    Yes, that's the idea of a source server. To get several people working on the same source.

    If that's it, then it's the ultimate team working benefit, or something! And I've been looking for such a thing for quite sometime xP but I guess it's not in the express version?
    Unfortunately, no.
    It's in Team Server Edition or something like that. Verrrrrrrrrry expensive stuff :/

    It's aimed at companies, so of course it's expensive.

    Yeah I know, still, Microsoft doesn't need the money D: meh, it'd be awsome to have something like that, 'cause sending source code through Instant Messengers or bad free upload sites, is extremely frusterating >.>

    EDIT: To upload source code, and others of a team can download and upload easily and stuff...

    That's what subversion is for. Kinda.
    How to get a subversion server, I do not know, but I do know of clients that use it.

    I think Elysia is referring to the source control system that is included in the more advanced versions of Visual Studio: SourceSafe.

    A version control system is an excellent way to keep track of what you've been doing with the source code - and getting back to a working version when you messed up.

    Ah, Mats probably knows more specifics about this than I. I have never used any of it.
    Wonder if VS works with subversion?

    If it was so simple, it would be a scam since any server would do. Looking at this article that claims that Source Server Helps You Kill Bugs Dead In Visual Studio 2005*, it apparently works with version control, and one of the aims is to coordinate the task of debugging among different developers.

    * heh, the title makes it seem as if you should use Source Server to debug bugs in Visual Studio 2005 that should have already been fixed by the developers

    No, the rough equivalent of Subversion offered by Microsoft is Visual Source Safe, not Source Server, and from what I understand Visual Source Safe does not keep your source safe (as in it is known for data corruption). Personally, I use Bazaar

    Yes, it does, but I was not satisfied with the plugin.

    I have currently projects that are still stored in SS (From VS6.0 Enterprise) more than 10 years long. I'm not familiar with any data loss in my firm due to usage of SS. And I'm sure - if some loss would occure in the past all the projects were moved to some alternative vesion control system

    Currently all new projects are managed with ClearCase that is a lot more advanced than SS and has its own drawbacks due to complexity and performance issues.

    I'm aware of several projects arond the firm that are trying different version control systems. So far no one of them is accepted as a mainstream version control database
    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

    SourceSafe is fine if you have a local server. Where I worked about 5 years back, they had problems when an office in the US got connected to the SourceSafe server in the UK - apparently, it doesn't have very good safety on the packets.
