VisualSource Safe questions?

[Luis Esteban Valencia Muñoz]

AS my company plans to have the sql server in the same machine than IIS
server my question is the following.

Can any developer program on their machines with VSS and make the test on
their computer and then upload to the VSSS server?. . This question is
because as far as I know its not recommended that I Debug proyects on a
production server, so my idea is to use vss in the same than sql server, but
no one will be able to debug on that server. developers will work on their
machines and debug on their machines, only when hey have something ready
they will upload for VSS to take control of versioning.

Any ideas? is this a good way of working?

If for sure could be done.
You probably will need to have to different connection strings one for
developers and one for after you upload project. This depends on your
configuration.

Since your are working on web project you should be aware about issues of
working with VSS and web projects. See more on that in VSS news group.

SqlServer doesn't care about SourceSafe.

Visual Studio works fine with SourceSafe (although some say
sourcesafe itself *doesn't* work fine ...).

For Visual Studio a common way to work is:
- someone starts a solution, and adds it to sourcesafe
- others get the latest version of that solution from sourcesafe
- now all can work on the same solution, on their own machines.
(ok: check in your work and regularly get latest versions..)

You need local versions of IIS to develop web-applications this way.
