I’ll brush over the actual installation, but note that if you have multiple versions of Visual Studio installed, VisualSVN will work with them all (except for the free Visual Studio Express Editions). A 30-day full-featured trial is available, and if you participate in an open-source project you can get a license for free! Even if you don’t qualify for the free license, I would highly suggest checking out this great piece of software – once you get used to it you’ll love it. To get started we’ll first need to download VisualSVN.

AnkhSVN is great, but in my experience it’s a little more complicated that what most people need.

There are a few other Subversion add-ins for Visual Studio out there, the most popular probably being AnkhSVN. To explain: TortoiseSVN allows you to access Subversion functions from Windows with a nice GUI, and VisualSVN allows you to access TortoiseSVN from within Visual Studio. However, VisualSVN uses TortoiseSVN for its functions, so really VisualSVN is just another way to use TortoiseSVN. The difference between the two is that TortoiseSVN is a “add-in” for Windows and VisualSVN is an add-in for Visual Studio. VisualSVN is simply a front-end for the command line Subversion functions, just like TortoiseSVN.

Since I primarily use Visual Studio, this post will explain how to use a plugin called VisualSVN to manage your repository without having to leave Visual Studio. Luckily for us, there are ways to integrate Subversion with most of the popular IDEs. We used TortoiseSVN from the Windows shell, and while this was really easy to do it isn’t always the most convenient. The previous post explained the basics of using Subversion.
