The structure for storing Visual SourceSafe projects looks somewhat like the
Windows File Folder tree as presented by Windows Explorer (see Figure 2.11).
FIGURE 2.11 - The project tree in Visual SourceSafe Explorer.
All projects in the Visual SourceSafe database are stored under a root folder
(denoted by a folder labeled "$/" at the top of the tree hierarchy).
To add a new project to Visual SourceSafe, follow these steps:
STEP BY STEP
2.4 Adding a New Project to Visual SourceSafe
-
Run and log on to Visual SourceSafe Explorer.
-
Select either the root folder ($/) or an existing project folder. The project
you create will belong under the folder that you select.
-
Choose File, Create Project from the menu.
-
Under the Create Project dialog box, assign a name to the project and enter
any comments. Click the OK button to create the new project's folder in Visual
SourceSafe (see Figure 2.12).
FIGURE 2.12 - Creating a new project folder (figure shows both the dialog
box to create the folder and the newly created folder).
-
Add files to the project (you may do this at a later time). The next section
describes this action in detail.
