I've always used Visual SourceSafe for checking in/out source code. We also
used it for deliverables (e.g. functional specification document), but
should we be using SharePoint for that instead?
And what's happening to Visual SourceSafe.. is it going away? I'd like to
understand if/how Visual Studio "Team Edition" (I guess I mean Team
Foundation Server) addresses this.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

hi,
SharePoint may be a better option, since its geared for documents, and
you could probably open it up for use by your clients, either providing
readonly or the ability to edit documents as well. Nothing wrong with
using VSS though either, except you don't have those options.
VSS isn't going away; it is around for smaller teams. Larger teams
with larger projects are the target for TFS. Basically this is not
only source control, but helps manages testing, project plans, and
other activities related to development. There may be some document
workflow stuff there too.. not sure. I believe TFS integrates with
Sharepoint.. IIRC, it requires some sharepoint components just to
install.

Hello,
Can i also recommend having a look at MKS, this is also a good, but quite
expensive version control system.

Very true, and I personally would recommend Sourcegears Vault, which
has a very similar interface to VSS.

I am using the System.IO.File class to determine if a file exists on a
network share.
The File.Exists method keeps returning false, even though the file does
exist. The MSDN documentation states,
"If the caller does not have sufficient permissions to read the specified
file, no exception is thrown and the method returns false regardless of the
existence of path."

Does anyone know a regular expression that will validate the file extension
but also allow multiple file extensions if necessary. It also needs to be
case insensitive. Basically, what I want is to validate a file input box to
check if the extension is the correct type, i.e. .doc for a Word Document
etc. Also I would like to check multiple file types, for instance allow a
gif or a jpeg or a jpg.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
