An advanced version of the Vault source control client can be used with newer versions of the Microsoft Visual Studio Integrated Development Environments (IDE). The supported IDEs are:
• Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005 and above
Please Note: The “Express” versions of Visual Studio do not support source control integration and enabling this option does not override these limitations.
The Enhanced Client allows a level of flexibility and integration that was not possible with earlier versions of Visual Studio. The Enhanced Client offers the following benefits in addition to the features of the previous IDE clients:
• Move, Rename, and Delete are immediately reflected in the working folder, before checking they are checked in. This allows you to use Visual Studio's Refactor operations to rename or move a file without immediately having to check in the change.
• Work in either VSS mode or CVS mode inside the IDE. Previous IDE clients forced every user to work in VSS mode.
• (Fortress Only) Integrated Work Item Tracking client to add, edit, or query work items without opening a web browser.
• The new Line History function allows you to select a set of lines in Visual Studio and easily find the last Source Control operation that changed any of those lines.
