ankh svn does not show in source control in visual studio 2012 - visual-studio

I installed TortoiseSVN and AnkhSVN and restarted my PC. However, I can't find subversion link in File -> Open and AnkhSvn does not show up in source control in Tools -> Options -> Source control.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling TortoiseSVN and AnkhSVN as well as Visual Studio 2012 with no success.
Can someone please help me with the integration of the SVN and Visual Studio 2012 Professional?

Since reinstall didn't help, i.e. you still don't see AnkhSVN as a source-control provider in Visual Studio, then it might indicate a bug or some problem with Visual Studio itself. I guess that you might get more help on this issue if you contact AnkhSVN user discussions mailing list.
BTW, AnkhSVN does not rely or require TortoiseSVN client. Since you mentioned TortoiseSVN, then I suggest trying VisualSVN plug-in. If you are familiar with TortoiseSVN and like it then I'm pretty sure that you'll find VisualSVN very friendly and easy to use with practically no learning curve.

I had the same issue; the root cause is that registry is not correctly written during installation. Visual Studio Source Control Plug-In Selection drop-down list links to the registry directly.
My regedit had been disabled by system admin, so that the installing was failed (but you would not get any error message).
Re-installing AnkhSVN after enabling read/write permission of registry and the issue gets solved.

How to add SVN to Visual Studio 2012?

I was using Visual Studio 2010 previously, with visual SVN as the source control. Now that I've upgraded to Visual Studio 2012, I'm facing problem of adding SVN as the source control (to VS 2012). By default only Team Foundation is there. Any help with how to add SVN as the source control to Visual Studio 2012 would be really appreciated.
VisualSVN 3.0 supports Visual Studio 2012. You can get it at the download page.
Except VS2012 support and a couple of usability and UI improvements VisualSVN 3.0 introduces the new Community License that allows to use VisualSVN for free on non-domain machines (moreover it permits commercial use!). See the VisualSVN 3.0 Release Notes.
In VS2012 just go to Tools/Options/Source control and in dropdown "Current source control plug-in" select the needed one (if you already have it installed)
Run the Visual SVN installer again and select 'Modify'
Tick the box that say 'Integration Visual Studio 2012'
and then continue with the installation. Restart VS 2012 and you will see VISUAL SVN on the TOP menu
We use AnkhSVN for VS2012 and lower versions.
Most likely you're using old version of VisualSVN that doesn't support VS2012. Try to install latest VisualSVN 3.0 for Visual Studio 2012 support.
Currently I am using VisualSVN-5.1.4, but I have done this with previous versions.
Re-run the installer.
Select "Modify", then Next to move to the "Custom Setup" pane.
A checkbox list of the installed Visual Studio (VS) versions will appear.
Check to VS('s) that apply.
Open the targeted VS.
Open the "Tools>Options" dialog and select Source Control
Select "VisualSVN" from the "Current source control plug-in" combo box.
I first took the "Repair" option but that did not put VisualSVN in the Source Control options list. It didn't hurt but it didn't help, either.
Yo need to run the installer of subversion again and repair the installation.
The installer will register the application in the VS2012 version too.
We had the same problem with it.
What you really need to do is go to Tools -> Options
In the dialog scroll down to Source Control -> plug-in-selections.
There is a drop down that has a list of source controls and you select your SVN controller there (Ankh, Visual, whatever one you want).
This is the same for 2012, 2013 and 2015
Re-run the installer , and during the setup, choose the versions of Visual Studio you want to be available.

How do I select Visual SVN as my source control provider

I am using Visual Studio Ultimate which come with TFS. However I am using Visual SVN as my source control.
I have installed VisualSVN server and the Visual Studio plug in.
What should I do to switch from TFS to Visual SVN.
When I go do Tools/Options/Source Control/Plug-in selection, I have the choice between "None" and TFS.
VisualSVN automatically "just works" when you open a SVN working copy - you don't need to mess with Visual Studio's SCC plugin settings. So you need to look at migrating your source code code into the SVN repository first. When you've done this, just check it out, open the solution and you're done. (You may want to remove all the "SccProjectName/SccProvider..." garbage from your project files beforehand)
To migrate your repository history from TFS to SVN, there's the TFS2SVN project (I've not used it though).
If you're not stuck on VisualSVN, try AnkhSVN. We use that here, and had no issues in getting it to work with VisualStudio 2010.
AnkhSVN is an open source plugin, so there's no need to pay for a license.
If VisualSVN is like AnkhSVN, you need to in tall VisualStudio first, then AnkhSVN. Then go into VisualStudio and select SVN in the Source Control Plug-in selection.

why doesn't visual studio solution bind to visualsvn anymore

Although i see the VisualSvn menu in visual stuido 2010, my solutions no longer bind to visualsvn.
i just installed thi patch to visual studio 2010 as i was seeing this memory error popup all the time. Since installing it, my solution no longer "binds" to visual svn.
When i now click on any of the visualsvn menu items it says "Couldn't determine absolute path of C:".
Has anyone seen this or have any solution for getting visual svn working . I don't fully know if its related to this patch above but that is when this issue started happening.
upgrading to the latest visualsvn (2.0.5) seemed to have fixed my problem.

AnkhSVN on 64Bit Visual Studio

I am using AnkhSVN first time. On 32Bit Visual Studio 2010 Prof it works great.
Same installation with same project on a x64 Systems does not show the green hooks nor any SVN options.
It seems that it is not installed and shows all like before. Re-Installing has the same unusable effect. No errors.
I am not sure if it is because of x64 system or not.
Any ideas how it could work?
try by changing the Source Control Provider in the Visual Studio Options
Go to Tools -> Options -> Source Control and change Current Source Control Plugin to AnkhSVN.

Ankhsvn not integrated to Visual Studio 2010

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.
