I am new to dot net. Is svn really helpful to developers? how to integrate the svn with visual studio 2010? Please mention procedure
Like a free of charge solution would recommend :
AnkhSVN
From my experience point of view I never find myself comfortable with such plugins in VS, as they usually made my VS slower, and I need fast IDE to work.
So I always choose simple
Tortoise standalone solution.
Yes it is! Is very important to commit your source code in to a source control system like SVN.
For SVN you can use the Visual Studio Plugin ankhsvn it's compatible with 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2012.:

Below a basic tutorial:

There are so many Plugins available for Visual Studio, You can make use of Visual Studio Extension Gallery to explore..
here are some

I am trying to find a way to turn the comments I generate in Visual Studio using /// into HTML. It appears that GhostDoc Pro will do this for me. And all that GhostDoc Free will do, is generate the comments in Visual Studio.
From what I can tell based on their website is that all GhostDoc Free does is generate the exact same comments that you can do in Visual Studio. The only difference is pressed Ctrl Shift D opposed to ///.
I doubt such a popular free extension to Visual Studio can only do what Visual Studio already does, and that I am just misunderstanding their website. So in addition to doing what Visual Studio already does, what does GhostDoc Free do?
I am trying to determine if I need the Pro version to externalize my documentation, but I am also curious if the free version actually does anything.
I'm with SubMain, the company that makes GhostDoc. I wanted to list the things that the Community (free) edition of GhostDoc does over the built in Visual Studio but there is actually way too many enhancements to cover. So, instead, I thought I would link to the product edition comparison so you could pick the features in the GhostDoc community column that are relevant to your needs - http://submain.com/ghostdoc/editions/?show=expandall
Thanks!

I just started at a new company and on my computer I have:
VS 2003
VS 2005
VS 2008
VS 2010
VS 2012
VS 2013
We do have old apps we support but the plan is to upgrade them as we need to make changes to them.I should be able to open any app in VS 2013 correct? Whether its C# or VB
Do I need all these versions?
If no .NET 1.1 stuffs, you can remove VS 2003.
If no compact framework, VS 2008 is not needed.
VS 2013 does provide all the rest generally speaking.
Exceptions do exist, such as
VS 2013 does not support many old frameworks such as MVC 1/2
VS 2013 doesn't support old versions of Silverlight.
The answer is clearly No to the part of your question about opening any app in VS2013. Microsoft have removed support for some project types over the years, so you can not open "any app" in VS2013

I am using Visual Studio 2005 Professional for web applications development mainly on my workstation. Now Development team is looking to upgrade it to upper versions. I am confused whether I should upgrade first to 2008 or I should switch on 2010. Please specify which will be better choice and why?
Do All applications of 2005 will work fine after upgrading them to 2010?
Thanks!
You should be already on Visual Studio 2010, the Extension feature is excellent!
There is no reason to stick with 2005 or 2008
VS 2010 works fine with 2005 applications. I dont see a point in upgrading to 2008 and then upgrading to 2010 and do twice the work.
The last stable version is 2010, and there are currently Visual Studio 11 but still Beta version.
I advise you to wait until a Visual Studio 11 it is released, and then upgrade to it.
As you know, because every version contains new developments and Ease more.

JetBrains Resharper. It's not free, but it's surely the best around.
Edit: I also like TestDriven.NET. And it's usually free.

I've recently switched from being an employee of a small consulting company to being an independent consultant and as time goes on I will need to upgrade Windows and Visual Studio. So what is the most affordable way to go about this for a small time developer?
My previous boss suggested I get a TechNet Plus subscription for OS licenses, I've done that and appears to be what I need, but open to other options for the future.
Visual Studio I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what is the difference between Professional and Standard. Also I'd really like a digital version, but seems that expensive MSDN subscription is the only way?
Visual Studio 2008 Professional with MSDN Professional listed here appears to be semi-reasonably priced at $1,199. That would make the TechNet Plus subscription unneeded.
I recommend that if VS Express is not good enough, use Professional. Standard is missing some really useful features, like a Remote Debugger. Here is a detailed comparison:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2008/products/cc149003.aspx
I'd say cancel TechNet and get one of the bottom two MSDN Subscriptions, Visual Studio Professional with either MSDN Professional or with MSDN Premium.
You have the Microsoft Empower for ISV program, see https://partner.microsoft.com/40011351
Gives you a full msdn pro subscription for two years.
For non developer tools try Microsoft Action Pack
https://partner.microsoft.com/40016455
Then use Visual Studio Professional (in some exibitions you will get this for free)
For the versioning use svn and not TeamSystem
I realise that this doesn't apply to the asker but it it is relevent to the question.
Any student developers out there try Microsfts Dream Spark scheme. Visual Studio, Expression Studio, XNA and Server 2003 for free!
Office is also available to students for less than 60 bucks in Microsfts `Ultimate Steal'
I think that Visual Studio Professional with MSDN Subscription doesn't offer much value compared to just purchasing Visual Studio 2010 Pro. You get testing licenses for Windows Server and MSSQL, but that's it. And you can get by just fine without those 90% of the time.
But Visual Studio Premium with MSDN is a different story. You get access to most other server products (testing license only of course), and an Office Professional license. That's a much better value for a one-man shop in my opinion, if you can afford it.
