Visual Studio 2008 and C#

SourceSafe is a Software Configuration Management tool from Microsoft, and is not required. I WOULD recommend using some form of SCM, but flavor is a matter of preference.

If the pop-ups are annoying to you and you would like to disable them, then removing the SourceSafe bindings from the project should stop them.

From http://weblogs.asp.net/bkcarroll/archive/2004/03/08/86059.aspx :

Solution:

com/tag/1">1 - Go to the folder containing the solution files and delete the following:
          mssccprj.scc
          MyProject.vssscc
          vssver.scc

2 - Open MyProject.sln in your favorite com/tag/text">text editor and remove the following section:
          GlobalSection(SourceCodeControl) = preSolution
                     ...
          EndGlobalSection

3 - Go to the folder containing the project files and delete the following:
          MyProject.vbproj.vspscc
          mssccprj.scc
          vssver.scc

4 - Open MyProject.vbproj in your com/tag/text">text editor and remove the following lines:
          SccProjectName = "SAK"
          SccLocalPath = "SAK"
          SccAuxPath = "SAK"
          SccProvider = "SAK"

Now you can open the solution/project with no source control errors.

As far as the class goes, if you're already familiar with ASP/VBScript, you can probably pick up a C# class and figure out the rest. If not, I would suggest going for an ASP focused class that utilizes a C# back-end.
