If you need to use CVS for source code control on your Visual
Studio.Net project, here is a quick way to enable the latest version of
CVS in combination with the free Visual Studio.Net add-in: Jalindi Igloo.

The
plugin does have it’s own install program and scripts but the problem
is that it uses an older CVS library and does NOT work well with SSH
connections to a CVS repository. While the older version may work
well for you, I certainly suggest you always use the latest CVS client
for at least security reasons.

for at least security reasons.
First, download all of the following packages:
- Latest CVSNT client
- Release version of Igloo
- Beta version of Igloo
Next,
install the CVSNT client as you normally would making sure to note the
location of the install directory. Once that is installed, open
the beta version Igloo archive and copy the files into the CVSNT
directory (ignoring the paths). But first, please note:
*** DO NOT OVERWRITE ANY FILES IN THE CVSNT DIRECTORY ***
The
beta igloo client has some older CVSNT files and you don’t want to mess
up your install. After that, you just need the nice VBS scripts
provided with the release version of Igloo. One script will
register the plugin as your SCC provider in VS.Net and the other will
restore SourceSafe as your client.
i can’t see the VBS files — are they in the InstallShield CABs?
They are in the non-install, release version here:http://www.jalindi.com/igloo/igloo.zip
Thanks!
Very good!

The Express versions of Visual Studio do not support plug-ins.
