Visual SourceSafe and ASP

Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC

Contrary to popular belief, ASP files are real code and need to be treated as you would any other code file. This means that when you are completed with a build of your code, the code should be put in a source code control utility like Visual SourceSafe. You can use VSS by itself, even if you're not using Visual InterDev in its native project mode (which does support VSS, by the way). I typically use text editors like TextPad and HomeSite to write my code, but I can check the files in and out using VSS' console. It protects me from myself on projects I'm working on for my own web sites. If I delete a file accidentally, I always have a way to go back.
