Source Control in PowerBuilder .NET

PowerBuilder .NET leverages Visual Studio isolated shell features to provide direct connections to external source control systems.

Connections to source code control systems are very different in PowerBuilder .NET and PowerBuilder Classic.

In PowerBuilder .NET, set up source control connections from the Options dialog box rather than the workspace properties dialog box. The source control system you use must already be installed on your computer before you can select it on the Plug-in Selection page of the Options dialog box. The Options dialog box also has separate pages for configuring environment and plug-in settings for your source control system.

Source code functionality in PowerBuilder .NET depends on Microsoft hotfix VS90SP1-KB975247. The PowerBuilder setup program typically automatically this hotfix if it does not detect its presence on the computer where you are installing PowerBuilder. However, the hotfix is also available in the Support folder on the PowerBuilder setup CD. You can install it at any time before connecting to your source control system in PowerBuilder .NET.

Note: Use the F1 key in the Options dialog box to access Microsoft help for the settings on any of the dialog box pages, including those for source control.

The PBNative source code utility that is installed with PowerBuilder Classic does not work with PowerBuilder .NET.
