How to: View History Using a SourceSafe Plug-in

  • Article

The SourceSafe plug-ins in Visual Studio allow you to view the history of a file or project just as you do in Visual SourceSafe. For more about file and project histories, see Version Control.

To view the history of an item in a SourceSafe plug-in:

  1. In Visual Studio, open Solution Explorer, and select a source-controlled file or project.

  2. On the File menu, click Source Control, then History.

  3. Make selections in the History Options dialog box (for files) or the Project History Options dialog box (for projects), and click OK.

  4. View the history in the History of <name> dialog box (files) or History of Project dialog box (projects).
