The Team Foundation Visual SourceSafe converter tool transfers files, folders, version history, and user information from a Visual SourceSafe database to Team Foundation source control. Read more.

While there is no converter available from Microsoft that will migrate source code from CVS or Subversion, ComponentSoftware (not affiliated with Microsoft) is offering CS-Converter for evaluation. From their press release: CS-Converter is a powerful and reliable conversion tool, used to migrate from various legacy version control systems (such as RCS, CVS, Subversion and Visual SourceSafe) to Microsoft Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) system.

Yes. In order to do this you will need to buy Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and a Client Access License for proper communication with the server. Team Explorer, which is included with Team Foundation Server, is a stand alone client that uses the Visual Studio 2005 shell providing a UI for source control, work item tracking and all the other features. For more information on licensing Visual Studio Team System (including Team Foundation Server) see the Team System Licensing White Paper.

Our goal is to easily support up to 500 users with a single installation of Team Foundation Server. We are actively using ('dogfooding' in Microsoft-speak) Team Foundation Server in our own development teams. Please see John Lawrence's blog post: Latest Team System Dogfood Statistcs for details about this effort.

No, unless they purchase a copy too. The Framework is sold as a single licence per user (However, it's OK if you want to use it on a PC and a Mac in the same household because you own both and want to compile your games on both). I am happy to do a special deal in cases where other team members also need a copy - please contact me. Remember, if you share the source code with team members, it is piracy and not appreciated. Thanks.

Source code is included for everything in the Debian system. Moreover, the license terms of most programs in the system require that source code be distributed along with the programs, or that an offer to provide the source code accompany the programs. The source code is distributed in the pool directory (see What's in the pool directory?, Section 5.10) together with all the architecture-specific binary directories.

No. We get a lot of requests for this but our contention is that the person defining the policy can't envision the situations that will arise where policy will need to be overridden. Thus, we designed it to be fully auditable by including policy compliance data in the changeset details and in the checkin mail that is delivered, but left it up to the developer to determine whether they have a good reason for overriding.

ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) is an open standard interface to access databases developed by Microsoft. The most database management systems have their own ODBC driver or the one developed by other software producers. To migrate from ODBC data source you need to use Data Pump for SQL Server tool. You can start Data Pump from STUDIO by choosing Data Manipulation tab and then clicking on Data Pump for SQL Server.

It is recommended that you do a full backup, including the system state, before you migrate to Windows Small Business Server 2003. You should also test the backup before proceeding with the migration. Keep in mind that the server configuration depends on the specifics of the network topology and the needs of your business. No. This problem has been corrected.

Customers who invest the .vhd file format – the format used by Virtual Server, as well as a multitude of vendor licensees - will have a clear path forward to Windows Server virtualization. Customers can work with Microsoft’s partners who provide solutions to conveniently migrate from VMware to Windows Server virtualization.

Yes it is, so you can, in theory, change the source code if you are comfortable with PHP. However, altering the source code will make future updates from us invalid and they may not work with your changes. If you require new features please email support@jshop.co.uk and we'll discuss adding them into the product. Many of the changes we are making to the system are from requests from registered users.

Yes, but you are required to run the files provided with the benchmark if you are publishing results. As a general rule, modifying the source code is not allowed. Specific items (the load program, for example) can be modified to port the application to your environment. Areas where you are allowed to make changes are listed in the SPECjAppServer2004 Run and Reporting Rules. Any changes made must be disclosed in the submission file when submitting results.

The MediaPortal source code is about 160MB. However, SVN uses compression so only 66MB need to be downloaded, if you download the needed main trunk only. All other branches should not be downloaded.

Yes it is. LimeWire is open source, which means that anyone can view or change the source code. Please check http://www.limewire.org. You can sign up and obtain the source code there.

Many of the tutorials listed above contain example code for games, however here's a few extra links for full Flash game source.

No. While Julian did try to open up the program by putting it under General Public Licence (GPL) at SourceForge, the project never generated much interest among developers. SpamCop has since been sold to private interests. The SpamCop Reporting and Blocking List services are owned by Ironport Systems, Inc. The SpamCop Filtered Mail Service is owned by Corporate Email Services (CESMail).

No, sorry. Most software companies do not give their customers access to source code. Haxial is no exception.

The source code is for developers. It is an additional download to the Full Install. If you just want to use World Wind and look around, all you need is the Full Install. If you want the source code as well, download both. Once you run the full install, copy the Data directory from your World Wind full install directory into your source directory. World Wind was not designed for Windows Vista but can run on it.

No, the options that deal with Visual SourceSafe are there as an extra help if you happen to use SourceSafe. If you use a different Source Management System then you can still enjoy all of the benefits of the DB Ghost Process - you just need to add the scripted files into your source control system manually.

I get an error saying "Cannot copy or move file: it's not in the repository yet. Try committing first" I get an error saying "This client is too old to work with working copy; please get a newer Subversion client I am getting the error "Unable to retrieve folder information from the server with my ASP.NET web project". I get an error saying "The version resource does not correspond to the resource within the transaction."

I have code snippets that I use often. How can I manage them so I can easily used them? In Visual Studio, you can store commonly used code snippets on a tab (other than the Clipboard ring) in your Toolbox. You use drag and drop techniques to move the...
