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.

I want to connect same pc to my project and my friend's project. Please keep in mind that we don't need the TFS.
You can use subversion tools like Git,Tortoise SVN etc..
These tool gives so many options so that you can easily manage the source code across team members
you can know more about git here
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.
I have a laptop and a desktop computer that I wish to share visual studio projects between - what is the simplest way to do this?
The simplest way to do this at the moment is to use Microsoft's new and free TFS (Team Foundation Server) service "in the cloud".
First, sign up a TFS account here. You will have to choose a name, which will give you a URL like http://yourname.visualstudio.com/
Next, within Visual Studio you can add a TFS server, where you will be able to check-in and check-out your solutions and projects from any number of computers.
Do you want to share Visual Studio project (1) or do you want to put the project under version-control (2)?
For the first case you may consider online backup / storage service like Dropbox, Google Drive or SkyDrive. You will be able to access your project from different computers and could share it with others when needed. It's really the simplest way; no version-control though.
If you require version-control I advise you to choose Apache Subversion. TFS is like walking the hard and thorny path and is definitely NOT the simplest way.
So, you can install VisualSVN to add SVN as a source control to Visual Studio. Then you can "Add the solution to Subversion" with VisualSVN.
You can either host repositories on your LAN with VisualSVN Server (or any other SVN server) or use a hosted SVN service. Initial setup takes a couple of minutes max actually.
You can use a free SVN service. Here is one provided:- https://www.assembla.com/home
So I just downloaded TortoiseSVN, VisualSVN and VisualSVN Server. I created a new repository and through VS2010, added my solution to said repository. I then realized that I had some naming issues with my repository so I deleted it using the VisualSVN Server Manager thinking that I could go back to VS2010 and somehow drop the solutions connection to SVN, but I cannot figure out any way to do this? I essentially want to start from scratch with this solution/connecting to SVN but I cannot seem to find a way for it to offer me the initial "Add this Solution to SVN" option. I don't know if this is a TortiseSVN issue or VisualSVN but any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Close Visual Studio then remove the subversion info by deleting all .svn folders recursively below the project folder. They are hidden so you will need to enable viewing of hidden files and folders. Open Visual Studio and VisualSVN should offer to add the solution to subversion again.
I want to set up source control for my project, but it seems like I need a server for this. I've never done this before, and I couldn't find anything helpfull yet.
Is there any way to host a server locally so Visual studio can use it? Or do you know any online (free) servers I can use?
By the way, if source control is not actually what i should use for keeping track of changes in my files, please suggest a better option.
Thanks in advance.
There's a lot of solutions to this problem.
A simple way to go is use subversion.... get tortiseSVN, and you can make a local repository ( you don't need to run any kind of server software ).
Then get something like Ankh SVN for Visual Studio
All free software!
You need to pick a source control provider, such as Team Foundation Server, Perforce, or GIT.
You can then install a server on your machine, install a Visual Studio plugin (not applicable for TFS), and connect to the server.
If you have your VS2010 licence through a MSDN subscription, then you have a licence to TFS, see: http://www.ewaldhofman.nl/post/2009/11/02/License-costs-of-Team-Foundation-Server-2010.aspx
