I did a lot of research and failed with pinning multiple files at once in VSS. Is there a way at all?
Thanks.
There is an official answer for this:

Is it possible to check in /check out files to Team foundation server from share point site without going through Visual studio? Is this Integration possible?
No, it's impossible. This can't be achieved for now. The ways how to add a file in source control, please refer Adding a file to version control from MSDN.
I need to build CAB files for our Windows based inventory guns. We currently use a trial version of Visual Studio 2008. I am trying to find other alternatives that are less expensive so we can purchase licensed software and document the process. Being that I am not a developer, I want to better understand how these CAB files are constructed. What are the basic components of a CAB file in this scenario? When using Visual Studio, we simply create some folders, add files and create registry entries and build the CAB. I'd like to have a better understanding of the whole process so I can learn how to build this files using either free or more affordable tools. Any links or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
makecab.exe, located in c:\windows\system32

and also COMPRESS command which something like MAKECAB little brother.
what's the difference between .scc and .vssscc?
There are a couple of files used by VisualStudio and SourceSafe for source control integration.
For more information look at http://alinconstantin.members.winisp.net/webdocs/scc/SccFiles.htm
Is it possible to centrally store and distribute code templates such that they can be pushed out to other members of a team?
First I'd keep the code in some sort of version control for obvious reasons, but I'm assuming your wanting to know how to share the templates automatically. I've never done what your asking but the templates should be stored in the \My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Templates\ProjectTemplates directory in visual studio 2008 anyway. You may be able to map this directory or one of the subdirectories to a network share where you can store your team templates.
Please let us know what the solution eventually is, because this sounds like a very useful idea.
We have a large solution with many projects. Some of the projects were outsourced, and the vendor used TFS. When they commited into our SVN repo, some of the bindings are still hanging around.
When I open the sln, VS2008 says "The source control provider associated with the solution cannot be found, do you want to remove them". I hit yes, save and exit, and then next time it does it all again :)
So - anyone know how I cam get rid of any TFS bindings from the sln once and for all? Do I need to manually search the csproj files for any "scc" references and remove?
Thanks!
Some PDA deployment projects(.vddproj) had some bindings hanging around.
Just removed them manually :)
The way to remove the bindings is to search the csproj files and remove it. There is a similar question on this topic already: See: How to remove TFS source control bindings for a solution from the command line
Here's a PowerShell script to remove the source control binding info. It was ported from some C# and only tested on VS 2010 solutions. The original code was written for VS 2005 and 2008 so you could probably add the relevant stuff back in.
Here you can find a tool (including source code) to remove both SCC footprint from the solution and project files and the .vssscc and .vspscc files. In addition, it removes the output and other configurable directories.
