Get all files from VSS for a given date?

Question

Is there a way I can ask Visual source safe to get all the files from a given date for a project? We don\'t use labels, so I can\'t roll back to a specific label and am hop

Answer 1

Using the command line, use the get command with the -Vd parameter

ss get $/Project -R -GTU -Vd4/30/2009;3:00a

I'm not sure, but I don't think there is a way to do this with the ui.

Answer 2

As far as I know you have to use the get command at a command prompt, not the gui. Something like this should do:

ss Get "$/AFolder" -R -Vd15-03-2009;2:00a

The -R option makes the get recursive and the -vd option gets the version at the specified date.

Using SourceSafe: Get by Date

Answer 4

You can right-click the project, choose Show History and get the version of a given date from the history explorer.
