Well basically I'm using the SS API in Visual Studio. It isn't well documented but I have everything working. I have a tree that populates with the ss database. I also have a custom control that is setup to help us download the right versions without actually need to do it manually inside VSS of 10+ projects and their dependant DLL files.

Basically I'm to the point where I have a directory:

1_dev/project/version/

and I want to download all that to D:\project:

I call

item.Get("D:\\project", VSSFLAG_RECURSYES);

What happends is that I get just the two files (DSP and DSW) in that folder. The rest go out to the desktop (I've cleaned up the workspace so it had no previous working folder).

I see a way around this if I traverse and not use recursive but that seems like a stupid way to fix this. What I'd like is to be able to recursively set the working folder and just use the Get command once.

LOooking through the docs I have, I do not see the ability to change the working folder.

Am I missing a flag? If so, which one?

Also, how do I know the values of the int Constants? A google search found some code that told me it was equal to 8196 (above) but where is a list of all of these?

Thanks!
