.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / February 2006Compare behaviour
We have recently started using Visual Studio 2005 with Visual SourceSafe 2005. I have noticed that when doing a compare of my local copy of a file that I have changed with the copy in SourceSafe that the compare application disables the IDE until it is closed. This behaviour is quickly becoming *seriously* irritating. It is company policy to keep a log of changes to source files at the start of the file and when I have made several changes to a file, I find it handy to be able to copy parts of the changes from the compare window to the change log in the file as it is open in the IDE. This worked fine with VS2003, but no longer seems to be possible. Is there any way to change this behaviour (to ensure that the compare application does NOT disable the IDE)? Alternatively, if I use a third-party compare application, would this solve the problem? Where in the IDE's options do I tell it to use a different compare application? Hi Matthew, I'd try launching the VSS compare in a different way (from checkin window, from context menus in solution explorer, from main menu under File/SourceControl, etc, and see if it changes anything. We had no reports of such problem with the Diff window in VSS2005, so I have no idea whether switching to a different viewer will solve the problem. If you want to try using 3rd party compare aplications, custom viewers can be configured in VSS Explorer 2005 in Tools/Options/CustomEditors tab  SignatureAlin Constantin This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. > We have recently started using Visual Studio 2005 with Visual SourceSafe > 2005.
