I can not Install AnkhSVN -Subversion Support for Visual Studio 2019,
I have tried to Install It, It says Version is Invalid for VS2019
I use VS2019 Professional
I have made a fork of the AnkhSVN project and published a version on Visual Studio Marketplace as AnkhSVN2019.
This version targets only Visual Studio 2019.
The page on the Visual Studio Marketplace is here:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=PhilJollans.AnkhSVN2019
You can also find it by searching the Visual Studio Marketplace in Visual Studio.
The project is on GitHub here:
https://github.com/PhilJollans/AnkhSVN2019
As far as I can tell it is working correctly, but that is based on a small number of systems, and I only use a subset of the features.
Support for Visual Studio 2022
My fork of AnkhSVN does not support Visual Studio 2022, but there is a version in the GitHub repository from the original developers of AnkhSVN.
As of 4-December-2021, this version is not available in the Visual Studio Marketplace, but you can download the package from the releases page on GitHub.
As of 4-December-2021, the download link for the current version is
https://github.com/AmpScm/AnkhSVN/releases/download/v2.9.87/Ankh-VSIX-2022.zip,
but there may now be a newer version.
The latest AnkhSVN version is not compatible with Visual Studio 2019 (and the project, unfortunately, seems dead).
A possible solution is to edit manually the files stored in the vsix file (it's a zip file with a different extension).
The file to edit are:
extension.vsixmanifest
Change the occurance of [15.0,16.0) to [15.0,17.0)
Change the prerequisite in this way:
<Prerequisite Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor" Version="[15.0,)" DisplayName="Visual Studio core editor" />
catalog.json
search Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor and change the version to "[15.0,)"
manifest.json
search Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor and change the version to "[15.0,)" as the catalog.json
After these changes it's possible to install the extension in VS2019 but still open a warning shown by VS related an incompatibility of the load process (AnkhSVN use a synchronous load, VS2019 want an async load).
Looks like it doesn't support VS2019 by default. https://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/
But you can try to update extension for VS2019.
Rename vsix to zip
Unzip
Open extension.vsixmanifest, manifest.json and catalog.json and for Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor change version to [15.0,)
Open extension.vsixmanifest and also replace all [15.0,16.0) by
[15.0,17.0)
Zip all files
Rename to vsix
The original AnkhSVN project developed by CollabNet is now abandoned and does not support Visual Studio 2019 now (the project is inactive for more than 17 months). As an alternative, consider migrating to VisualSVN that is now completely free for use on non-domain computers (no registration required) and provides about the same functionality compared with AnkhSVN (some users consider VisualSVN to be better for their use cases).
Migrating from AnkhSVN to VisualSVN is a straightforward process. The most recent VisualSVN 7.1 and VisualSVN 6.5 releases add support for multiple working copies within a single solution, and this makes the migration practically instant and painless for almost all users. See the article KB58: Migrating from AnkhSVN to VisualSVN for instructions and the article KB7: Using Multiple Working Copies in VisualSVN if your solution projects span across multiple working copies.
Note that the workarounds suggested in the accepted answer may cause overall Visual Studio destabilization and do not make AnkhSVN compatible with Visual Studio 2019. See the comments under these answers:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/55533335/761095
https://stackoverflow.com/a/55533472/761095
BTW, according to this post, those hacky workarounds do not work anymore.
DISCLAIMER: I am a support engineer with VisualSVN Team.
I've just installed AnkhSVN 2.8.12824 via "Manage Extensions". It seems to work, though Visual Studio 2019 complains that it might not be compatible with a future Visual Studio update (Deprecated APIs).

AnkhSVN supports Visual Studio 2019 now. Download here https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=simonp.AnkhSVN-SupportVS2019 [broken link]
Seems to still be active on GitHub: github.com/simonp22/AnkhSVN
The owner removed the program from the marketplace until he works out the async loading in the code, according to a comment from him in the github project

I'm currently facing some issues with the latest Visual Studio 2019 version (16.7.0) and I want to go back to a previous version, specifically 16.6.2. However on the VS website I can't find a place where to download a specific version of Visual Studio, so is there a way (even non official) to download this version?
Officially, Microsoft provides older installer for VS 2019, but only the Enterprise, Professional, and Build Tools. Meanwhile Community edition
is only supported on the recommended latest release of the latest minor version of Visual Studio
So if you expect to be needing VS Community older version in the future, I suggest backing up the offline installer when they're released.
In case you need to install a specific version of the Community Edition you can download VS 20XX Professional Edition with the desired version and then, during installation, just select the Community Edition.
Steps:
Download the installer with the required version (release history for VS2022)
Open the installer and when the Workloads screen appears, close it to view the setup screen behind.
On the setup screen go to the "Available" tab
Choose the Community Edition (or the one you need...)
you can download the older version of Visual studio 2019:

For VS2022, the list is here:

I haven’t find TFS in Visual Studio for mac, Is any alternative tools available for that.
TFS is a rather broad term and describes a whole suite of solutions. I’m assuming that you mean the version control section for my answer.
There is no support for TFVC, which is the older versioning control system that used to be default in TFS.
Since some time now, TFS and VSTS (basically the cloud hosted version of TFS) have switched to Git. Git is supported from Visual Studio for Mac as well as a lot of other tools of course.
If you still want to use TFVC, I have only found one option which isn't pretty. I installed Eclipse (the IDE for Java) which has a plugin for the TFVC version control. It looks and works pretty similar to how it looks in Visual Studio for Windows. It has some quirks and I would be surprised if it is still actively maintained, so use with caution and if you have the possibility look into switching to Git.
Edit though they seem to be working on it! If you check out the linked blog post you will see that support is in the works and I think there is a preview you can download today.
For Visual Studio Mac, TFS is supported for now. There has been a uservocie, you can vote up and monitor it.
TFS Version Control
https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/563332-visual-studio-for-mac/suggestions/17136163-tfs-version-control
However, this is only a preview feature as you can see the comment from PM:
I’m happy to say that our first preview of this feature is now
available – check out the announcement blog post.
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2018/05/07/visual-studio-for-mac-version-7-5-and-beyond/
I’ll continue to share out updates here as we make updates to the
preview.

According to the comment below the blog post, it seems not stable for now. If you want a more stably solution of using TFS source control on Mac, you could try to use Visual Studio Code, which is more of a fast, lightweight code editor.
With the help of Visual Studio Team Services extension on Visual Studio Code, it allows you to connect to Team Services and Team Foundation Server and provides support for both Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) and GIT. More details can be found at Connect VS code with TFS on mac
As of VS 2019 for MAC, support for preview as well has been dropped.
Caution
The preview TFVC extension for Visual Studio for Mac is no longer supported in Visual Studio 2019 for Mac.
As per this doc, it's recommended to use GIT for version control. Otherwise, if there's no option then to use TFS on macOS several options are also provided in the link.
Option 1. Use Visual Studio Code and the Azure Repos extension, for a
graphical UI
Option 2. Connect to your repo using the Team Explorer Everywhere Command Line Client (TEE-CLC)
Also, there's eclipse plugin available for TFVC on mac
Now that Visual Studio 2015 RC is out, has anyone installed it and opened Visual Studio 2013 projects/solutions?
Does it ask the files to be changed?
If yes, are the changes it makes backward compatible?
Take a look at the Porting, Migrating, and Upgrading Visual Studio Projects article for Visual Studio 2015. All of the various caveats are described there.
Not all types of project are supported. I tried the following 4 project types:
Vb.net Class project, OK.
Vb.net Web Services project, OK.
Cordova JS project, not OK, need to migrate manually, by moving the sources from root directory to the www directory and install all API again.
C#.net winform project, OK.
Yes, though you sometimes will have to change the version (single number) in .sln file, no other differences found yet.
We resolved this by typically excluding this file from check in and only check it in when there really was a change (added project, ...) - and then to fix the version before checking in. (Different developer machines with different versions of VS.)
See question Visual Studio 2015 solutions backwards compatibility with Visual Studio 2013 and answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/31540590/586754.
(Assuming you are having basic projects that are supported by both versions, like C# and .net framework that is supported by lower version VS.)
I used Visual Studio 2010 to develop a web application. I formatted my machine and installed Visual Studio 2010 Professional. When I try to open old projects, I get an error saying:
The selected file is a solution file, but was created by a newer version of this application and cannot be opened.
I do not remember the version of visual studio 2010 I used the first time.
Can anyone tell me which version came after the professional edition?
Make sure VS2010 is updated to the latest service pack, otherwise check to see if the project was actually made in VS2012/13 in which case you will need to create a new VS2010 solution and rebuild it from your existing projects.
Open the .sln file in a text editor. In the beginning there is a marker which tells the VS version it is meant for. For VS 2010 it should look like that:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
# Visual Studio 2010
You should be able to change these values without any problems. As far as I know the file format did not change.
EDIT
Considering the comment of Dumisani: of course you need to target .net 4.0 and make sure no features of .net 4.5 are used!
Chances are you had a service pack installed that you are missing with a clean installation.
I have a website project that has been subversioned already. I have installed ankhsvn but when I open the website project in Visual Studio 2010 it doesn't show the version control icons in the Solution Explorer. Any idea why that might be?
Thanks
Did you enable AnkhSVN in Tools->Options->Source Control?
When it is the default SCC provider it should automatically detect that your (C# ?) website project is already in Subversion.
If you are using Express Versions of Visual Studio 2008/2010/2012, note that AnkhSVN does not work with Express versions. In my case (VS 2012) the solution above does not work because AnkhSVN is not available in Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Plugin Selection. Express versions do not allow Addin.

This is an old question, but after installing Ankh I had to run
"d:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup
to get Ankh to show up in the source control plugin selection list. This seems to happen intermittently with new plugins.
I had a similar problem and got it fixed when I uninstalled and reinstalled AnkhSVN. Doing a repair wasn't enough.
I had the same problem. The only solution for me was to remove Registry keys explained in Visual Studio 2012 Extension Issues.
