How to add SVN to Visual Studio 2012? - windows

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.

visual studio 2019 open solution file incompatible

I think I was using visual studio 2017 and wrote a SSIS package. Now I installed visual studio 2019 and can't open the solution file. Error:
Unsupported This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the
following projects. The project types may not be installed or this
version of Visual Studio may not support them. For more information
on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets,
please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after
clicking OK.
- ABC, "C:\Users\XYZ\ABC.dtproj"
Non-functional changes required Visual Studio will automatically make
non-functional changes to the following projects in order to enable
them to open in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio
2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1. Project behavior will not be
impacted.
- ABC_SSIS, "C:\Users\XYZ\ABC_SSIS.sln"
I tried "Right-click on the project and reload" - didn't work.
I tried to confirm SSDT is installed:
it is installed at the installation interface, but doesn't exist in extension manager:
SSIS is a seperate extension now in Visual Studio 2019. You can install that extension in Visual Studio market place. Choose Online tab and search for "SQL Server Integration Services Projects".Hope it can help your problem
1.Extensions -> Microsoft Reporting Service Project
2.and then close visual studio
3.VSIX installer will complete automatically
4.If your project unloaded, right click on project and reload
Today I faced this issue,
Cause
The reason for issue is,
I saw a yellow bg notification at the top of IDE showing performance issue , with option to "disable this" to improve the performance.
I chose disable, later next day when I opened the project, It showed the project is not compatible.
I did Repair SSIS, Uninstall and Reinstall SSIS, and also updated the SSIS to latest version. None of these 3 ways resolved the issue.
Solution
But, I found Manage Extension submenu item under Extension menu, Under installed tab, SSIS extension was in disabled status. I reverted to Enabled status. Sample screenshot of the same for reference is here. If it disabled, simply enable it. Then restart VS with SSIS project.
Enabling the SSIS in manage extensions solved this for me.
Extensions ... Manage Extensions
Online ... Visual Studio Marketplace
SQL Server Integration Services Projects
Download
Close Visual Studio and then run the download
When finished, open your existing SSIS project and right-click the project and select "Reload" or "Reload with dependancies"
You can also now start a new Integration Services project.

How to update Visual Studio 2015?

I recently installed Microsoft Visual Studio community verion 2015 on my computer for educational purposes. However while installation I conservatively chose not to install the source files for C/C++. Is there any way to rectify this? There doesn't seem to be any update menu in Visual Studio where I can do this.
You can have Visual Studio check for any updates itself by going to Tools > Extensions & Updates > Updates > Product Updates.
You can install any of the custom components (Visual C++, Visual F#, others) later if you don’t select them during the initial setup, there have some methods to modify VS to select the custom components to update and you can have a look at the following:
Go to Control Panel—Programs and Features, right click the Visual Studio Community 2015 with updates and Change, it popups the VS installer windows and click Modify button, then you can find the option ‘Visual C++’ under Programming Languages and check it, click ‘Next’ button to install it like the following screenshot.
If you still store the installer file of the Visual Studio Community 2015 with update 3 on your computer, right click it and run it as administrator, click Modify button and you can find the same installer windows as the above, check the option ‘Visual C++’ to install it.

TFS Windows Explorer Integration - Getting version history outside of VS

I worked for year using CVS source control with Windows Explorer integration using TortoiseCVS which enabled me to view the history of my files in a graphical way and allow me to compare any 2 versions of the file without the need to open IDEs.
Lately I started working in a new place that uses TFS which require me to open Visual Studio every time I want to see the file history.
It would be great to have this level of integration between TFS and Windows Explorer. I wonder if any third party has developed such functionality?
Currently I use C# with Visual Studio 2013.
This is what I see when I choose Revision Graph:
Shell integration can be installed as part of the Visual Studio Power Tools for Team Foundation Server 2013. Make sure you check the "Windows Shell Extensions" option.
To see the revision graph, I am afraid you still need to open Visual Studio and use the Track Changeset feature which seems the closest as far as I can tell.
That and the "Incoming Changes" codelens that was added to Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and which is going to be part of Visual Studio 2015 Professional and up.

visual studio 2010 doesn't remember ankkhsvn as being used as source control

I am using ankkhsvn (selected as an option in tools) in visual studio 2010 and when I restart my machine the project reverts back to Team foundation as the selected source control.
Any ideas?
Right click solution, add to subversion. confirm that you want to manage the .sln with subversion.
This adds a few lines to your .sln that enable AnkhSVN if it is installed (or are ignored if AnkhSVN isn't installed).

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.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/12509780
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.
