im using VS2010... my project is saved under SVN in Google code.
how do i install the project on my VS2010 for continues work with SVN access?
my pc was formatted so everything was removed.
Using AnkhSVN:
Start Visual Studio,
Go to File | Open | Subversion project,
Enter your project's URL and manually locate its sln or *prj file, click Open,
Click OK.
Using VisualSVN:
Start Visual Studio,
Go to VisualSVN | Get Solution from Subversion,
As Repository URL enter your projects URL and click OK.

I'm trying to explore a GitHub repository using VS2015. I Fork the repo into my GitHub account. Then I use the Team Explorer window to clone it to my computer. Now how do I open & run it? There are no solution files to open. I've read you can open it as a website, but then I can't get TypeScript to compile the .ts files. I've tried the File -> New -> Project From Existing Code option, but there's no option there for an ASP.NET website - it's just Console App, Class Library and Windows App.
What am I missing?
In that case you may want to use Visual Studio 2017 RC, which has native "open folder" support or use VSCode.
I have an existing Visual Studio 2013 solution, and I want to put it under source control using VisualSVN Server. I installed VisualSVN Server and created a new blank repository. Their Getting Started page doesn't explain how to add a folder structure and files to the repository. I am expecting an import or add files option when right clicking on the repository node in the UI.
How do I add an exiting root folder and all its files and folders of a Visual Studio solution to a repository and make it ready so any SVN client can check out files from it? I am planning to use TortoiseSVN as the client.
You need to install TortoiseSVN and check out a working copy of the repository. Copy from solution into the working copy, select all files, and make a rightclick and select TortoiseSVN -> Add.
Commit the changes and now you have the data added to the repository.
I am using Team Foundation Server with VS 2010. I am facing a problem that when i am mapping a new folder to download the code from TFS, after download all the code, all files/folder in new folder get automatically read only attribute and i have to remove this attribute explicitly after it i am able to build the solution other wise it is giving me "Access denied" error. Is there any TFS setting which is making my project files as read only.
Not with TFS 2010, this is called "Local Workspaces" and is available from TFS 2012 onwards and works like Subversion.
What you are doing, by removing the Read Only flag, is fighting TFS. What you should do is perform a Checkout on the file before editing. If you are using Visual Studio to edit solutions/projects this will happen automatically providing you have your Solution and Project bindings setup. If you are editing files outside of Visual Studio, you can perform a checkout by:
Using Source Control Explorer in Visual Studio.
Using the Team Foundation Server Power Toys to install a Shell Extension into Windows so you can Right click.
Opening the file in Visual Studio and using it as a text editor.
Using the tf checkout command line.
By removing the read only flag, you are allowing yourself to edit the file, but not instructing TFS that you have changed it, so TFS won't know to check it in when the time comes. TFS doesn't scan you workspace for changes like Subversion.
I have created a repository online and I want to add an existing folder to it and make it version controlled. I am using TortoiseSVN.
When using Visual Studio I can just click "Add to Subversion" and it automatically adds the versioning to my project. When I click into the physical folder everything has icons next to it implying it's now versioned. I can then just commit it all either in or out of visual studio.
My problem is, I now have a folder that isn't part of a Visual Studio project that I want versioned. But I can't work out how to do it. If I click import I can import all the files but it doesn't add the versioning to the folder. I can then export it else where, but still I don't have the versioning.
What do I have to do to make my existing folder versioned without Visual Studio doing it?
You should read the SVNBook and TortoiseSVN manual. At least they'll help you to understand the concept behind Subversion and version-control in general.
When you svn import some folder to Subversion you can later get the working copy of this folder by doing a svn checkout operation in TortoiseSVN or a command-line client.
Whatever tool you are using in Visual Studio is using a subversion client under the hood - you can normally invoke this tool directly from the command line if wanted.
If you are not comfortable with that, you can download and install the free TortoiseSVN tool that integrates with the windows shell. Once installed, you can right click on the files/folders to add them to your repository outside of Visual Studio.
I have just worked out how to do this, so am answering my own question in case someone else is trying to do this:
Create the repository on the server,
svn import everything into it,
svn checkout what you just imported over the top of your existing folder.
Everything now will have ticks by it ready to commit!
Newb to Ankhsvn and Ubersvn integration.
I have existing web projects built in Visual Studio 2010 and am attempting to add them into a newly created repositories. The issue I'm having is trying to configure the working local directory. I've got my projects contained in various folders on my machine but it seems Ankhsvn will not let you change the "Local Folder" (which I'm assuming is the working folder) on your machine, it only gives selected options in a dropdown. I know Visual Studio generates it's own solution file in the standard directories (my docs../vis stud../projects/...) but that is not my working directory which it seems Ankhsvn is fixed in.
I don't want to have to move my projects around (and probably don't have enough space on my c: drive anyway). Does someone have any insight on how I can configure the local folders ankhsvn and Ubersvn can work out of?
Using Windows 7 64bit if that has any bearing as well. Our svn repository is hosted externally.
UPDATE
Well I haven't heard any feedback yet on this so I basically went ahead and used the following methodology to get my files into the repository:
1) Used TortoiseSVN to add the files to the svn repository (with TortoiseSVN installed, right click on the folder you want to add, TortoiseSVN -> Import and basically add in the repository URL ad go about adding in folders and files as desired.
2) next step was to then open Visual Studio 2010 and open the given web project folder and then go File -> Subversion -> Open project from subversion. NOTE: make sure when you open that you select the correct folder to import to. It should be one level above the given folder you selected.
3) after the import, all my files appeared as in conflict. I basically just commited the files and the issue went away.
So I now have my project hooked into svn and working through Ankhsvn but has to use TortoiseSVN to get it done...hmmm
To administer the repository in uberSVN you need to make it aware of the repository. The easiest way to do this is to create the repository within the uberSVN admin page, but you've already done that bit, so we need to make uberSVN aware of it.
To do this:
Create a Dump file based on your manually created repository
Login to uberSVN as an System Admin or Repository Admin
Click on Repositories
Click on Add
Enter a Repository Name (which will enter a Location automatically)
Click Next
Click Import From Uploaded Dump File or Import From Dump File Located On The Server
Select the Dump file in question
Click Done
Your repo will now be brought underneath uberSVN, loaded into a newly created Repo sat in the /uberSVN/repositories storage location.
From there you just continue as normal with your preferred subversion client.
Know this QA is old but thought worth updating.
Got a solid, reproducable method for adding projects into remote UberSVN repository from Visual Studio 2010...trial and repeat seems to work consistantly on my side. Here goes
Go to remote UberSVN server, Login
Create Repository
"Your Repository Name"
Added users to repository
Created Visual Studio project (File -> New Project) in similar ubersvn structure…in this case
In windows explorer, created folders D:\\\trunk\
In Visual Studio, create new project, uncheck “Create directory for solution” and I set the “Name” to
"Your Project Name"
In the first solution and subversion create phase, I checked off “Add to Subversion”
Created project and the subversion repository selection popup came up.
typed in the new repository url
http://"your UberSVN Repository URL"/"Your Repository Name"/
Below the Repository URL, I selected the repository “Database” image and then I clicked “Create Folder”
NOTE: When I did again, it seemed that there was already a “trunk”, ”branches” and “tags” folders generated under the repository database -> I clicked on the trunk folder).
If the folders from above notes do not exist, I typed in “trunk” as new folder and then the proper Project url appeared in the “Project will be created in:” section at the bottom of the popup (
http://"your UberSVN Repository URL"/"Your Repository
Name"/trunk/"Your Project Name"/
)
Clicked OK
Started copying files from existing website/project to new project
Once all files are in and no more errors exist, start to do initial commits
Visual Studio 2010 NOTES:
May have to regenerate designer files from older visual studio 2008 projects. Right click on the web form page you want to convert to “Web Application” and it will autogenerate the designer file for the given webform (web page)
Will have to add in references from the bin folder for any dlls needed in project
If bringing over classes from another project (i.e. in App_Code folder), need to right click on each (or select multiple) and go to properties -> Build Action and change from “Content” to “Compile”
