.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Source Safe / April 2005Automation with JScript: Versions object?
Hi all, I'm trying to program an automation task using JScript. Unfortunately I haven't found a way to access the versions of an item: the VSSVersions object seems not to publish any methods or properties. So: How to access the VSSVersion objects of a VSSItem using JScript? Thanks for every hint! JotKa I don't know how to do it exactly, but perhaps looking at what VB does will help. Have a look at the sample application written in VB at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/ssafe/downloads/samples.asp See the sample for VB 5.0. It does its best using the automation model to duplicate the VSS Explorer interface. Usually you can see how things are done from the code there. If you need the VSS Automation documentation, you can find it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/ssafe/technical/articles.asp Joe > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > JotKa Thank you for mentioning the 'articles.asp' page; I haven't known it yet. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything helping further. The VB sample code uses the "For Each" construct to scan the Versions collection. As far as I know there is no similar possibility in JScript. The reason why I wanted to use JScript was that JScript provides much more (and better) array handling functionality. Meanwhile I realised the program ... in VBScript. The result is not as good as it would have been with JScript - I did not bother, e.g., with sorting the result. But at least it works. As already with earlier requests in this newsgroup it becomes obvious that Microsoft did not really think about the necessities of a complete VSS automation interface. Significant parts are either left out, or only available to specific programming languages (as in this case) :-( Anyway: cordial thanks for your help!

It is a JavaScript based set of tools to export SourceSafe data to XML and search it. Download the source and look at the file ss2xml.js for examples. You need to use the JavaScript Enumerator object to iterate over the Versions collection. > Thank you for mentioning the 'articles.asp' page; I haven't known it yet. > [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] >> >> Joe Steve Many thanks for the Enumerator object hint! That was what I haven't known. (I am pretty familiar with JavaScript, but use JScript and its extensions only rarely.) Your tool obviously solves the same problem that we have had: searching SourceSafe comments for certain expressions. My current VBScript implementation is designed for the same purpose, but is more specialized (no intermediate XML) and thus cannot be used in the same generic way.
