Does Visual Source Support SVN-like Post Commit Hooks?

I am forced to use Visual Source Safe at my current job. Yes I know, It's like a stick in the eye. But VSS won't go away, VSS is here to stay.

I was wondering if there is any way to do something similar to Subversion's Post-Commit hooks in VSS? Coupled with a few deployment scripts, this would make our lives much, much easier.

Solution

  • Yes there are hooks for Visual Source Safe (with examples in Visual Basic 5).
    If I were you I'd stay away from this. Your situation is bad enough.
    If you still want to implement hooks I believe that what you are looking for is the AfterCheckIn event handler.
