7.4. Summary
This chapter demonstrated Visual Studio 2008's rich interface for using a source control repository to manage files associated with an application. Checking files in and out can be done using the Solution Explorer window, and more advanced functionality is available via the Pending Changes window.
Although SourceSafe is sufficient for individuals and small teams of developers, it has not been designed to scale for a large number of developers. It also doesn't provide any capability to track tasks or reviewer comments against a set of changes. Chapter 58 discusses the advantages and additional functionality that is provided by Team Foundation Server, an enterprise-class source control repository system.
