Source code control for Microsoft Visual Studio

The steps to use SubVersion in  Visual Studio are:

  1. Install VisualSVN on a machine that functions as a server.  It is best to use a machine that is different from a development box because it can function as a backup if the development box is out of order.

  3. Create user names and a repository with VisualSVN.
  4. Following the instructions to add a project or solution to Subversion.
