Source Control

SourceSafe Bindings Remover

Written by: James Avery at 3/1/2008 9:17:54 PM

After you added a solution to source control in Visual Studio there is no easy way to completely remove the source control from that project. You can detach the project, or work in offline mode, but if you were moving to another source control system (CVS, Subversion, etc) or wanted to distribute your code the first thing you should do is remove all the sourcesafe bindings from that project. A quick and easy way to do this is using the SourceSafe Binding Remover tool.

The simple interface can be seen here:


You simply need to point the tool to your solution's directory and it will do the rest. If you want to preview the changes that will be made simply press the "Remove SourceSafe Bindings" button without checking the "Remove Bindings?" checkbox. You can then check the checkbox when you are ready to remove all of the bindings from your files. This tool will modify the solution files, project files, as well as delete any source control specific files (.scc, .vssscc).
