Visual Studio Source Control

[POB]

Can anyone suggest a good solution for source code control and versioning when working with VS2010?

Needs to work with ASP.NET services and sites.

I'm the only developer so it does not need elaborate team management systems or even hosting on a separate box.

At the moment I'm making lots of copies of files each day it its getting silly.

Thanks

There's two developers in our workplace me and another guy and we use Team Foundation Server 2010. Easy to setup, excellent source control and integrates with VS2010 seamlessly. Not sure on the cost of it as we have a campus license so get it cheap.

Subversion w/ TortoiseSVN and/or AnkhSVN and CruiseControl.NET

If you want something cheap we did use this - http://www.visualsvn.com/. It's pretty good but not as good as TFS.

Thanks guys will research based on these ideas.

Another vote for subversion here, some people are moving over to GIT but I havent taken a liking to it personally yet.

Another option mercurial

I should have added as it might not be immediately obvious but you don't need to run subversion from a server. If your using tourtisesvn you can right click and hit create repo in a folder then checkout using file://path.

TortoiseSVN, running on file based repo (if theres only one user it's the simplest way)

Simple, good interface, free.

Subversion w/ TortoiseSVN and/or AnkhSVN and CruiseControl.NET

This, but replace CruiseControl.NET with TeamCity if you want continuous integration.

(Use Git)

Git or Mercurial are your only sensible options. SVN is deprecated now, really. Along with all the other first-gen attempts like CVS, VSS & TFS.

We use Mercurial and, my god, it is simply brilliant. It's how I always imagined and wished for source control to be.

2nd using TortoiseSVN.
We using in combination with Jira at work!

May well look into using Mercurial however!

Wow thanks for all the ideas, 1 millions options later ...

I have selected VisualSVN as its only me, it looks easy and avoids command prompts etc.

I'm sure it will do the job much better then duplicating folders in explorer.

Jira looks like a nice addtion as well, will look futher.

Definitely hg/git, you can use it locally without the need for a central server or with so it can grow with your needs. I use git form the command line but there is some good GUI tools and VS integration bits if that's what you're after.

He said a good solution for source control

This is what I use, with the respositories hosted at Codesion.

Also, if you're using Git or Subversion, take a look at www.unfuddle.com. They provide free and secure repository hosting for smaller projects. Even if what you are working on is pretty small, the fact that you are effectively backing up your code to the cloud is a good thing.

Git + Tortoisegit
