I've created an event handler to react to the events that are fired by
SourceSafeTypeLib. The handler installs OK, but the only events that I
get called to handle are Init, BeginCommand and EndCommand. The Init
and EndCommand events are always called, but the BeginCommand is only
called if I don't create handlers for any other event.

I'm using VSS 6.0d and I'm trying to create the handler in c# written
in VS2005. I've made the utility com interop registered so that it can
be used by VSS.

I've looked around and found that others have had a similar experience,
even some who say that they've got it working, but I've not found
anyone who has published a solution.

If you've done this and got it to work - c# / VB.Net, I don't mind
which - or know of any coding sites with up-to-date examples then I'd
appreciate it if you could give me some pointers.

Thanks.

Hi,

I suppose that you have already read:

Visual SourceSafe 6.0 Automation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnvss/html/vssauto.asp

and

Microsoft Visual SourceSafe OLE Automation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnvss/html/msdn_vssole.asp

If you are using C#, ensure that you are not incurring in the problem with
C# event handlers and COM Interop when using procedure variables that I
described at:

PRB: Visual Studio .NET events being disconnected from add-in.

Carlos,

Thanks for your reply. I'd already read those articles and I'd guessed
about the scope of the event handler being a problem and already made
it a private member variable.

In order to help anyone see where I'm going wrong, here's a pared down
version of the code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace CIUSVSSHandler
{
public class VSSHandler : SourceSafeTypeLib.IVSSEventHandler
{
private SourceSafeTypeLib.VSSApp pIVSS;

#region IVSSEventHandler Members

void SourceSafeTypeLib.IVSSEventHandler.Init(SourceSafeTypeLib.VSSApp
pIVSS)
{
this.pIVSS =3D pIVSS;

this.pIVSS.BeginCommand +=3D new
SourceSafeTypeLib.IVSSEvents_BeginCommandEventHandler(pIVSS_BeginCommand);
this.pIVSS.EndCommand +=3D new
SourceSafeTypeLib.IVSSEvents_EndCommandEventHandler(pIVSS_EndCommand);
this.pIVSS.BeforeEvent +=3D new
SourceSafeTypeLib.IVSSEvents_BeforeEventEventHandler(pIVSS_BeforeEvent);
this.pIVSS.AfterEvent +=3D new
SourceSafeTypeLib.IVSSEvents_AfterEventEventHandler(pIVSS_AfterEvent);
this.pIVSS.BeforeCheckin +=3D new
SourceSafeTypeLib.IVSSEvents_BeforeCheckinEventHandler(pIVSS_BeforeCheckin);
}

void pIVSS_EndCommand(int unused)
{
MessageBox.Show("pIVSS_EndCommand");
}

bool pIVSS_BeforeEvent(int iEvent, SourceSafeTypeLib.VSSItem pIItem,
string Str, object var)
{
MessageBox.Show("pIVSS_BeforeEvent");

return true;
}

void pIVSS_AfterEvent(int iEvent, SourceSafeTypeLib.VSSItem pIItem,
string Str, object var)
{
MessageBox.Show("pIVSS_AfterEvent");
}

bool pIVSS_BeginCommand(int unused)
{
MessageBox.Show("pIVSS_BeginCommand");

return true;
}

bool pIVSS_BeforeCheckin(SourceSafeTypeLib.VSSItem pIItem, string
Local, string Comment)
{
MessageBox.Show("pIVSS_BeforeCheckin");

return true;
}
#endregion
}
}

As I said, the only events I get when I compile this are the
BeginCommand and EndCommand and the checkout command fails to work with
the handler installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
