I have a project in VS2012 that used to be maintained on a dedicated SVN server. This server no longer exists and now I would like to commit the project to my local SVN repository.
I have Visual SVN and Tortise SVN tools installed on my machine.
How do I go about switching my SVN repository location?
This should help. It is for 2010 but I think from looking at my 2012 installation that the procedure is close

You can use SVN relocated. Avalible via TortoiseSVN context menu.
Just specify the new repositorypath and commit.

Hi I am using Ankh subversion in Visual Studio 2010. I would like get some silverlight project files from subversion and make some changes to the code, then commit my changes back to subversion
The subversion directory is as follows
Phase1\ViewerApp\trunk\Viewer
Phase1\ViewerApp\trunk\Viewer.Web
Phase1\ViewerApp\trunk\ViewerDeloyment
Can someone clarify the steps required to check in / check out to subversion.
When I tried to commit the files back to subversion, it came back with error 405 as the folder already exists
If you use AnkhSVN in Visual Studio, read its documentation. You may also want to try VisualSVN plug-in if there are issues with AnkhSVN

With SVN you checkout from repository, make local changes, and commit them to the repository with svn commit command.
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.
As far as I know, VisualSVN Server is a server while TortoiseSVN is a client. But I can also create repository with tortoise svn only, without needing Visual SVN.
What is the difference between the two or am I missing something?
The difference is that the repository you create with TortoiseSVN client is a local repository on your machine. But that repository is of the same kind as the one the Visual SVN server (or any other SVN server) uses. If you move your locally created repository to your svn server you can access it via the server instead.
An SVN repository is "just" a bunch of files and directories. You can access this repository directly (file: protocol) or through http, https, svn, etc.
TortoiseSVN just allows creating the repository. If you need to access it using another protocol than the file: protocol, you'll need a server (which TortoiseSVN doesn't provide).
I'm totaly newbie to Source Control idea, so please be kind.
My situation is that we are a development team which contains 2 developers and 1 designer.
We use Visual Studio 2010 and we need to use a Git as a Source Control.
I've installed Git Source Control Provider and GitExtensions using Extensions Manager on all machines.
But there is only one thing I don't get it, how can I configure every Git on every machine to find a central repositry where we can Push and Update all work in one place?
Does that mean everyone will take a copy of a solution into his own machine (Locally) and configure Git to a repositry OR are we going to run on the same solution?
Honestly, I have not found articles regarding this issue and how teams on same project on Visual Studio 2010?
Git is distributed version control system means that whenever you clone a repository you can work on your copy and commit too. Once you done you can push the commits to remote repository.
I'm looking for a way to create local copies of the programs stored in the repository so I can work on them; this is my first time using SVN.
I've got an ip address, a port number, and a password for a SVN repository. Is there some way I can access the repository through Visual Studio itself (perhaps via a downloadable plug-in)?

Agent SVN integrates nicely with Visual Studio.
I prefer to use Tortoise SVN and do everything from Windows Explorer instead of doing from Visual Studio.

Try Visual SVN, it is specifically for SVN Integration to Visual Studio.
