Visual SourceSafe script starting out

Question

I have never wrote a script before and I was asked today to make a Visual SourceSafe script that returns all of the labels that are stored.

I have 0 idea on how to start this as I have never wrote a script before. Can anybody point me in the right direction with this please? Thanks!

@MitchWheat What? If it's something to do with it being shit its nothing to do with me ha I was just asked to make a script, I'm interning at a company. Any help? — Ayohaych, Jul 26 '13 at 10:46

You can use the History command of SourceSafe to get the history info of an item and extract the label info you need.

Here is a simple sample for you:

private void GetItem(VSSItem vssItem)
    {

            if (vssItem.Type == 0)  //Type == 0 means it's a project
            {
                bool bIncludeDeleted = false;
                IVSSItems vssItems = vssItem.get_Items(bIncludeDeleted);
                foreach (VSSItem vssitem in vssItems)
                {
                    GetItem(vssitem);

                    foreach (IVSSVersion vssVersion in vssitem.get_Versions(0))
                    {
                        string vssItemName = "";
                        if (vssVersion.VSSItem.Name == "")
                            vssItemName = vssitem.Spec;
                        else
                            vssItemName = vssVersion.VSSItem.Spec;

                        if (vssVersion.Action.IndexOf("Label") > -1 )
                        {
                            if (vssitem.Spec == vssVersion.VSSItem.Spec)
                            {

                                MessageBox.Show("Item " + vssItemName + " in " + "Version " + vssVersion.VersionNumber.ToString() + " With the lable:  " + vssVersion.Label);
                            }

                        }
                    }

                }
            }

Thanks for that. How would I make the script return all labels? — Ayohaych, Jul 29 '13 at 09:51
I've added the sample script for your reference. Let me know how it works for you. — Rachel, Jul 30 '13 at 10:00
