There are several projects at codeproject.com about VSS.

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/VSSClient.aspx?print=true

is one.

Search for others.

That should get you started.

To connect to a vss db, you may use the following code (add ref to
Microsoft.VisualStudio.SourceSafe.Interop assembly):

Microsoft.VisualStudio.SourceSafe.Interop.VSSDatabaseClass s = new
VSSDatabaseClass();
try
{
s.Open(@"C:\SomeSourceSafeProjects\srcsafe.ini", "Admin", "");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
