Hello,

I have the following task at the moment: when my application is starting I have to open some VSS project (info which necessary for the opening placed on the hard drive) and I am trying to use SccGetProjPath to do this. The problem is the "Choose project from SourceSafe" dialog will appear after a user has entered the user name and password to the "Log On to Visual SourceSafe Database" dialog.

But in my case the name of the project is known and I wanna avoid the showing of the second dialog. BTW, Visual Studio 2008 shows only the first dialog in the similar situation.

I have read many articles connected with the problem but I cannot find solution. If someone has the ideas to solve the problem, please let me know.

Thanks in advance

Hi Nancy, Thank you for the help. I have found the solution. I did wrong sequence of the steps which necessary to login to VSS. At the beginning I called SccGetProjPath and after that I called SccOpenProject (BTW, I called the last function with the SCC_OP_SILENTOPEN flag). The rigth project opening process is: call of SccOpenProject without SCC_OP_SILENTOPEN flag - and that is all. In the last case we can see the login dialog (if VSS cannot login with default login information) and the corresponding project will be opened and no more dialogs will be shown.

Hi Alexander,

"Choose project from SourceSafe" dialog always popup when you want to change Source Control. How do you use SccGetProjPath to open VSS projects?

As far as I know, SccPopulateList is used when you open project from Source Control. SccGetProjPath gives you a path only, then Visual Stuidiocalls SccPopulateList to retrieve files (solution and project) in the source control path, to allow user selection of specific solution/project to open.

For your reference, please refer to:

• Error open project from source control using MSSCCI

Best Regards,
Nancy
