If two users check out a project file, how does Visual SourceSafe avoid overwriting changes made by one user when the other user checks in their copy of the file?
Answer Posted / sonakshi
Let us assume that UserA and UserB checked out the same project file, Proj1.vbp. UserA changes the file and checks it in. This will update the file stored in the Visual SourceSafe database. UserB changes their local copy of the file and checks it in. Before updating the server copy, Visual SourceSafe will compare the files in UserB's working folder and the file stored in the Visual SourceSafe database. If UserA and UserB have made different changes to the same parts of the vbp file, Visual SourceSafe will display the Visual Merge window and give UserB the opportunity to specify which changes he or she wants to keep.
