Are there any tools that could assist in generating emails
to a defined set of SMTP addresses when files are checked
into specific projects?

I wish to use this to keep developers abreast of changes
to common code libraries and documentation and it seems
like a sensible way to do it but I am at a loss as to how
to do it from VSS.

Ideally I would like to implement something server side
(Much like extensions to CVS) as the prospect of loading
custom 'VSS extensions' onto developers PC's fills me with
dread.

Regards

Hi John I noticed you post and thought I would let you know that i created a "BUILD" application that does exactly what your talking about, it completely automates the build process (CheckIn/Out, Build, Email (Both build errors to last checked out user and "CheckIn Notifications")

I have to be honest this is an app that i built about 6 months ago and have been using it at work (For beta testing).

We are a VB shop so thats what this app builds, We have 163 diffrent binaries that we compile on a weekly basis, so you can image what a pain it was to do this manually.

Anyways if your using VB6 in your shop, then this would probably help you out alot, and no its not freeware, but i have yet to figure what to charge for something like this.  If youd like to try it out, let me know and I can E-Mail you the last build.

Requirements:
VSS 6.0d
VB6 SP4+

Thanx

Hi, John,

The only solution I know of is a VSS extension. Microsoft has one available
here:
