Opening Source safe controlled projects.
Removing SourceSafe dependencies from a solution/project
Situation:
Your buddy has created a cool VB.NET application that you want to use.
He sends you the source code and it consists of a solution
(MySolution) containing a single project (MyProject). You attempt to
open the solution and find that it has SourceSafe dependencies. You
need to remove all the VSS stuff from the solution/project files.

Solution:

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 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 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.
