Version control in Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010/2012In this article, we are going to talk about what version control software is and how to use it within Visual Studio, one of the most popular software development kits (SDK) among developers.Version control software allows you to keep revisions to your project files organized and secure. It is used by both solo developers and teams, regardless of size. Version control software allows your team to make changes to the same program, file, function, or line of code easily without the worry of an earlier change overwriting a later change. It handles this by tracking changes to the copies of the source file (that a developer can check-out to work on, and check-in to submit changes to the code). Now, let’s look at previous software version control tools.Before 2003, Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (VSS) was the primary tool used for version control. However, due to limitations on internet transfer security and database corruption, some vendors, including Dynamsoft, developed their own alternatives to Visual SourceSafe. Later Microsoft replaced VSS with Team Foundation Server. Along with Visual SourceSafe, Concurrent Versions System (CVS), an open source alternative to VSS, was quite popular at that time. Subversion is the new replacement for CVS. Recently, distributed version control systems, with Git being the leader, started to gain market share, mainly within the open source software development industry. If divided into commercial and open source, generally speaking, commercial source control systems are more Microsoft / Visual Studio platform oriented and work better in business situations, while open source revision control software fits better in open source projects development. This article mainly concerns commercial version control systems and Visual Studio.+++ How to use version control in Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010/2012? On top of working with VSS and TFS, Visual Studio provides additional APIs for 3rd party revision control tools for integration. In short, two APIs are available:o VSPackageo MSSCCI PluginFor more information about VSPackage and MSSCCI, please read this blog entry. Ever since version 2005, Visual Studio stores binding information for each individual project in a specific file and reads SCC (source code control) info when needed. We can choose or switch the current source control plug-in at menu Tools->Options->Source Control.+++ How to use version control in Visual Studio 6.0/2003? Ancient IDEs, such as Visual Studio 6.0/2003, read SCC info from the registry table (under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>> Software>> SourceCodeControlProvider). To toggle among different revision control tools, we need to update the registry table. Dynamsoft offers a light tool – SCC Provider Manager to make this easy. The light tool can be found in the installation folder of Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere products.+++ How to use version control in Visual Studio Express?

    Best way to repair a foundation crack?
    I noticed a crack from the outside..can’t see from inside..there is wall paneling. But when we get a downpour and the gutters are clogged above it..and it overflows right where the crack is..sometimes.. a little water get in..I’ve noticed this happens only when gutters are clogged and its a downpour…what’s the best way to fix this..is it to get a kit and do it myself..

    • ANSWER:
      The best way to repair it for water tightness (although this will not provide structural support) is to use an epoxy injection crack repair. That way you don’t have to wrap the entire foundation with stegomastic or something like that.

      You can usually buy something like a Sika system or other product at White Cap supply that you simply drill a couple holes in the crack and then use an epoxy gun with a special zerk fitting to inject the epoxy into the crack. It will swell once inside and seal from further water damage. We used a system like this when we got some water permeability at the base of pit at a water treatment plant. We ended up drilling like 1500 holes and injecting a few hundred cubic feet of epoxy, and never saw another drop of water. You won’t need to do all that, but if you are trying to protect your home from water damage, the professional solution is to use an epoxy injection system.

      If you’ve got settlement issues with your foundation that you need to fix, you’ll either have to drive some foundation anchors underneath to support the settling zone or dig out underneath the settling area and pour a mud mat to ballast the foundation from underneath.

      But just in terms of water and keeping the water from penetrating an existing crack, an epoxy injection system is your best “localized” answer.
