    Fronmtpage Extensions 2002 and Visual Source Safe 2005 nightmare

    Hi all,

     I have some old "ASP 3.0" base webs and mixed (ASP.NET/ASP.30) other ones. I tried this way for publishing:

    I copied all the web files to development server. I marked some directories which I dont't want to see  in project tree as hidden and then I opened web site as remote shared directory. I added this projectory into visual sourcesafe database. When I check-in some edited files and publish web via  "Web - deploy" command in Visual source safe 2005 menu, everything is going fine.

     If I use these steps on project with mixed asp/ASP.net project, I cannot build the solution because getting files using UNC path is a problem for the Visual Studio and project cannot be compiled.

    So, I've tried install Frontpage Extensions 2002 on the development server. If I set Visual Source Safe database as source control for Frontpage Extensions and open website project using frontpage extensions, all the files are checked out. Context menu on any item in the project tree don't show "Check in" in the popup menu.

    Exists some smart solution to have got web site on development  server with source control and publish only items, which I check-in manually?

     Thanks for any valuable answer

    Hi Rudidilo,

    Could you tell me if it is file based or http ASP.NET web site? For UNC path, it can be much simple if you map them locally. And open the project using mapped path as well as check in and check out in Visual Source Safe in the same way.
