Visual SourceSafe Automation 

  • Article

Visual SourceSafe Automation is a collection of COM-based automation interfaces in the Microsoft.VisualStudio.SourceSafe.Interop namespace that Visual SourceSafe exposes to users. Because the name of each interface includes the IVSS preface, hereafter this documentation refers to this collection of interfaces simply as IVSS. IVSS provides functionality both for automating interactions with a Visual SourceSafe database and for responding to database events.
