Re: unable to run vss.open()

Hi AMDRIT,

Vss will close the connection by iteself.

Do you think maybe the problem that I am running VS.NET 2003 with VSS
2005. Maybe this is why it is not working?

Thanks,

This seems to work for me

Dim objSS As SourceSafeTypeLib.IVSSDatabase

Try
objSS = New SourceSafeTypeLib.VSSDatabaseClass
objSS.Open("\\myserver\mysourcesafeshare\srcsafe.ini", "myusername",
"")

For Each item As SourceSafeTypeLib.VSSItem In
objSS.VSSItem(0).Items(False)
Debug.Print(item.Name)
Next

Catch ex As Exception
Debug.Print(ex.ToString)
End Try

Perhaps you are specifying the wrong sourcesafe database ini? Of course, I
had to actually code this to test it, there didn't seem to be a way to close
the connection, is there a way to close the connection or have I just hosed
my sourcesafe database. I have backups so i am not worried too much.

it finds the right user, because when I try to access with a different
user that does not exists in VSS. it gives an error :"user not found "

I added a new user with a password. and it still goes to that
directory instead of where I am trying pointing to. :(
any other ideas?

The srcsafe.ini file specifies where the database lives, and it appears
that
it was pointing to the rights.dat file. This could also be that you
are not
suppling a password for the user admin. Perhaps there is a password
for
that database, or admin is not a valid user for that database?

HI,

I am just trying to open vss:

try

SourceSafeTypeLib.IVSSDatabase vssDb = new VSSDatabaseClass();

vssDb.Open(@"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\Common\VSS\srcsafe.ini","admin","");

catch()

//returns

Access to file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\Common\VSS\data\rights.dat" denied

how does it get that path? if I am trying to access a diffrent path..
