9.2.4 Checking out writable copy of files from Visual SourceSafe
Vi
sual SourceSafe protects your source files and ensures that only one user can have a writable copy of a controlled file
at any one time. The check out operation takes a writable copy of the file from Visual SourceSafe and places it on your
local drive. This can only be done if another user has not already checked out (a blue mark next to file name) the files in
question.
To check out writable copy of files from Visual SourceSafe
1. Select the files that you would like to check out from Visual SourceSafe, in the Projects tab of the workspace
window. You may also select a file folder, project folder, workspace folder or combination thereof.
2. Select one of the following operations:
• Click the Check out from VCS toolbar button (
), OR
• Select [Tools -> Version Control -> Check out from VCS], OR
• Right-click to invoke a pop-up menu and select [Version Control -> Check out from VCS].
3. The Check out from VCS dialog box opens. Select the checkbox on the left to the name of the file that you
wish to obtain and click the OK button.
4. When the operation is finished the file has a red mark next to its name. This means you as the current user of
High-performance Embedded Workshop has checked it out.
