After getting the latest from source safe, some of my c# files having this character '?' added at the end of each line.
So when I build I get this error
Unexpected character '?'

What settings I need to change anywhere(I mean VSS OR IDE OR SOMETHING ELSE)?

This is how I see my code in visual studio.net

using System;??
using System.IO;??
using System.Globalization;??

Thanks
 
this seems like a source saft issue, not VS/C# issue.

diff any given file with this error to determine when the question marks were added. This will help narrow down the problem.

I have read there are alot of problem with source safe, as it's based on a file hierachy and not a relational database.

My guess would also be a sourcesafe issue.

One question: What encoding are your source files saved as? If they're using the default (win-1252, I believe) you shouldn't have this problem.
