No Source Control Integration in Visual Studio 2005 "Express" Editions

  • Artigo

[Michael Teper] “Mike Gunderloy pointed to the Visual Studio 2005 Product Line Overview page and commented that he doesn't understand why the Express line does not include source control support.

This was one of the things that jumped out at me as well. The Express line of products is intended for a hobbyist programmer and one could do no greater service than introduce a beginner to the concept of source control. Fine, don't include VSS, but at least throw in the option to support SCC integration!

IMO, SCC is the concept every beginning developer should be forced to learn. Thay may be too extreme a view, but not even giving a hint of SCC support is too extreme in the opposite direction!”

    This is actually a feature. There has been no end to the headaches created from the new VS.NET SCC integration. If you don't have your solution at the end of the directory structure, you automatically get a new directory structure checked into VSS automatically. My workspace shows files checked out that aren't. Branch your projects, open the branched .sln and your files will be checked out from the original location. Why is this information hard coded into the solution/project files anyway?

    Wow, that's kind of messed up! I hope they include support for SCC in the Express version...for the same reasons you said!

    I could not agree more. Not having SCC is like not having color coded source editing.

    That's nice.
    Don't include it -- force people who actually want to use source control to use a produce other than MS Products.

    Eclipse supports pretty much every SCC out there, http://www.eclipse.org/community/plugins.html (scroll down to Team Repository Providers). The only one I can see missing is BitKeeper. Now if only somebody wrote Asp.Net plugin for Eclipse...

    I think if people need SCC, they could download Subversion and hopefully AnkhSVN will be modified for the Express tools.

    Well, that assumes that plugins can be added to the Express environment.

    But apparently plugins are disabled for the Express versions, so AnkhSVN is probably out :(

    Express needs Source Control! I've recently started using it because I preferred it over codeblocks and devcpp and the only thing letting it down would be the lack of source control. Nearly every other dev software has at least support for it...
