The Microsoft development environment (for Visual J++™ and Visual InterDev™) integrates source control commands and functions into the Project Explorer (and other menus and windows). You can use source control to manipulate source item locations and versions, set up your source control project hierarchy to match your development directory tree, and more effectively manage team projects by delaying additions, deletions, and renames to the source control database.
The following sections provide more information on using source code control integrated with the Microsoft development environment.
