SCC Switch Provider, GotDotNet Source Control

Joined the FlexWiki GotDotNet group last night for source code access which is provided through a custom source code control provider that integrates with Visual Studio.

That led to looking for an easy tool to switch SCC between GDN and Perforce. Such a tool existed on GDN but only as a rather anonymous exe, so I used Lutz Roeder’s Reflector to reverse engineer it into a new C# project.

Only snag was not calling the Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey method with a second argument of true to indicate that write access was required. That led to a rat chase on security and permission settings.
