Hi
I have an asp.net application checked into Source safe which works fine, but I am trying to add the dll from the /bin folder to source safe as well as I need other developers to be able to get the latest version of it every time it is updated. Unfortunately I am not given the option to add this file in to source safe when I choose source control within my project, does anyone know how you do this

Thank

Dave

You'd be better off copying the dll to a common share. In general, it's not
the best idea to put binaries into source control.
 
Assuming that the other developers have access ot he project, and are using
Visual Studio.Net, why would they need a copy of a DLL that they can create
by simply compiling their copy of the source code? There is a reason why the
\bin folder of a project is not stored in Source Control by Visual Studio,
as well as the Solution file and other files generated by compilation.

you can manually add the bins to source control, but the ide will have
problems. because the dll's will be readonly, the compile will fail.

a better approach is create a seperate distribution dir (that the supported
versions) and check them in there. you can write a script to do this (I use
nant and jscript for builds and deployment)
