Source Code Exchange Files

Total Visual SourceBook provides an easy way to share code using Source Code Exchange (SCE). SCE makes it easy to package code, along with notes, examples, and author information, for distribution to other SourceBook users.

Ideal for working in disconnected environments

Although Total Visual SourceBook provides seamless code sharing for your entire team, there are situations where you or other developers may not have access to the same shared drive. In this case, you can simply package your latest code base as an SCE file and distribute it to remote team members. Before you know it, everyone is in sync.

Supports code synchronization

When you import and SCE file into Total Visual SourceBook, the program scans the contents and compares it against the code already in your database. To handle conflicts with existing code, you can choose to overwrite, skip, or create new for each module or class.

Files are compact and self-documenting

SCE files use XML and compression technology to remain as small as possible for distribution over the web or with email. Additionally, when you create an SCE file, you can specify author name and contact information, notes, and copyright information.
