Visual Studio Team System Source Control Problem...

VSTS’s more robust source control solution seems nice…. I’ve already customized it a bit to require additional information to be recorded when you attempt to check something in.  What I can’t figure out, however, is how to open a solution from source control… With VS.NET 2005 you simply go “Open from Source Control” under File ->Source Control.   That’s not there in VS.NET 2005.  If you go to Open a project – you can see that there is now a Microsoft Source Safe option, but when you go and add a new VSS Database – you can’t specify a TS database.  Not sure if I’m missing something obvious.

In VS.NET2005 if you want to use Team System’s Source Control you need to navigate to Tools->Options then to Source Control… there you can select Visual Studio Team Foundation from the list of available plug-ins.  You must then go and configure the properties for this plug-in by going to the “Visual Studio Team Foundation” section under Source Control options – specifying the server and local workspace.  The workspace the name of the storage area that TS uses to keep a local copy of your work… Truthfully, I’m not sure where this is yet.  One of the plug-ins is Visual Source Safe Remote…I’m going to play with that for a bit tonight as well…
