Placing Files Under Source-Code Control

Home Page (Source-Code Control)OverviewHow Do I ... Topics

When you add a file to your source-code control system, the system manages access to the file and maintains a record of all changes made to the file. It also records when a file was changed and who changed the file. From the Visual C++ environment, you can place entire projects, individual files or workspace files under source-code control.

Workspace files track changes in location of files, additions of files to projects, and the locations of the files in source code control. After changing any of these elements, the workspace file needs to be checked out, updated, and checked in.
