Are multiple developers possible?

[Daniel]

How does ASP.Net handle multiple developers? Do you use Source Safe?

In classic ASP it wasn't really an issue because the site did not need to be
built prior to viewing/running. However, now if I'm in the middle of
something and a coworker wants to test the changes he's made to another part
of the site, he'll get build errors until my code is ready to run, won't he?
How do you handle this?

There are five of us working on ASP.NET projects very successfully using
Visual SourceSafe. For the most part, we followed the pattern described
here:

Team Development with Visual Studio .NET and Visual SourceSafe

There are two rules that we enforce when working with multiple developers:

1. No one keeps the project file checked out. (It prevents others from
adding files.)
2. No one checks in anything that doesn't compile. It doesn't need to be
complete but it must compile. (Otherwise, people can't test their pages
after getting the latest version.)
