VSS Pin Command

[jfreedman]

Under the VSS actions, an operation of "Pin" is listed, however, the screen doesn't seem to contain enough info to find out what should be pinned where. How do I use the "Pin" with Visual Build Professional?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Something like this (copy and paste the step below into VBP):

<step action='SourceSafe' type='0'>
<AutoLocate type='11'>-1</AutoLocate>
<CompareOpt type='3'>2</CompareOpt>
<Database>%SAMPLEDB%</Database>
<LongFilenames type='11'>-1</LongFilenames>
<Operation>Pin</Operation>
<Project>$/Source/MyNETProjects.sln</Project>
<PromptOff type='11'>-1</PromptOff>
<Recurse type='11'>-1</Recurse>
<ShowCmd type='11'>-1</ShowCmd>
<ShowFilesOnly type='11'>0</ShowFilesOnly>
<TimeOpt type='3'>1</TimeOpt>
<Username>%SSUSER%</Username>
<Version>1</Version>
<WriteOpt type='3'>0</WriteOpt>
<description>Pin version 1 of MyNETProjects.sln</description>

</step>
