I'd like use VS.Net 2005 + VSS 2005 to setup a multi-user isolated
development enviorment
for ASP.NET 2.0 web application project, where can I find related docs?

I have create a asp.net 2.0 web site in local IIS mode and add the project
into VSS 2005 db.
What's next step for multi-user to access it?
When developer access this project from their client machine, they need to
open or create a
web site? from local IIS, remote IIS or Sourcesafe db?

Thanks in advance!

Hi RedHair,

The other users who should work on the same project should open the solution
or the website from source control.
E.g: on machine2,
- open VisualStudio
- make sure that VSS is selected as the active source control provider in
Tools/Options/SourceControl/Plugin
- use File/Open/Project or Solution... dialog, click SourceSafe icon in
bottom left, navigate into the VSS database and locate the solution file
added by user1.
- right click solution if necessary and change the destination of open from
source control
- click ok to complete open

If you want to open just a website and not the whole solution, you can
- use File/Open/WebSite... dialog, click SourceControl icon in bottom left,
- click Select SourceControl Project button
- locate your web project added by user1, click ok
- complete the rest of fields in the dialog (destination of open from source
control, and Run As Website (if you want to open as a
http://localhost/website project)
- click ok to complete open

Thanks.
How about if the other users open web project from their "Remote Site"
option?

Hi RedHair,

The "Remote Site" web projects are supposed to access the web site using
FrontPage Server Extensions.
I don't think you'll even be able to open the http://localhost web site
(using file share access) as a Remote WebSite, but if web projects allow you
to do so it certainly won't work correctly (it will not work anymore in
isolated model).
http://localhost websites are what were in VS2002/2003 web sites in isolated
mode: each developer has its own enlistment (as opposed to FPSE sites, in
which all developers work on the same websites, editing all the same copy of
the files and stepping on each other shoes). To create these enlistments,
you have to open the solution or the web project from source control.
