Hi, I was always in search of such an application. I downloaded this and configured. However, I can’t see anything under c:\inetput\wwwroot\vss.xml?

Can any one tell me how to use this app/service?

Thanks.

Nice little service that solves our issue of being able to search on the comments fields.

I hit one issue though. In GenRss.cs I kept getting a “Error loading resource string” error on the line “string file = ver.VSSItem.Name;”.
It’s a known bug with VSS and I’ve just worked around it by surrounding the line with a try-catch.
(I’m more VB than C# at the mo)

Just thought I’d share the info.

I downloaded the source, and compiled, however the interop library Interop.SourceSafeTypeLib.dll is missing. Is this supposed to be included in the project?

Come on, someone please post a link to a compiled version or explain a way to create one without owning Visual Studio .Net.

I downloaded an installed this a few weeks ago. It worked very well except that it used a lot of memory. Some digging around on google found me http://blogs.msdn.com/korbyp/archive/2003/10/06/54194.aspx. Which led to a simple code change that reduced the working set by an order of magnitude: from 150MB to 15MB roughly. If you want the changed code, let me know…
