Show History Command (Development Environment)

See Also

Shows the history of a file or project under source code control.

To use the Show History command

• After you've added a development environment project to your source code control provider, on the Tools SourceSafe menu, click Show History.

Remark

Every time you check in a file or project to your source code control provider, the file or project is given a new version number. Use the Show History command to display a list of a file's or project's past versions.

Note   By default, the Show History command displays the File History Options dialog box; click Projects to display the Project History options dialog box.

The versions listed start with the most recent and return to the creation of the file or project. VSS provides information about the version number, which can be used with other commands (such as Get Latest Version) to indicate a specific version.

By default, the history of a project includes the histories of all its files, but is not recursive and does not include subprojects.
