Hi All,

Under Visual Interdev, I could copy files or folders to _private of the
current web. That would allow me to backup versions and also keep it hands
off to web visitors. And Visual Interdev would turn a blind eye to _private
and not bother with it unless you wanted otherwise.

What is your preferred way of versioning / backup under Visual Studio.NET?

Regards
Ananda

Hi Ananda,

There is a Visual Source Safe plug-in to Vs.Net and provides the ability to
control the version of the web application that you are developing.

Another possibility would be to have a test server and a production server
and only copy the files over when development is complete.

So what do I need? VSS product? VSS plugin product? Where does VSS store the
versioned stuff? On local PC?

You know how .NET talks about XCOPY deployment? Well, I want similar -
manual versioning, not super duper automation with object stores and complex
front end IDE.

Yes, but then have to change "reject urls" of various pages etc...
Also, I then have to protect/care for the test server in addition to the
production server - the simple way of a _private folder somewhere on the
test server which VS.NET does not care about would be real nice.

Thanks for your help, appreciate that definitely.

Ananda
