Supporting Source Control

Visual Studio supports file checkouts, check-ins, and other source control operations for your project or editor. As a source control client, Visual Studio is designed to interact with a source control package, such as Visual SourceSafe, which provides archiving, versioning, and control facilities for a dynamically defined set of files.
