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.

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.

I can not Install AnkhSVN -Subversion Support for Visual Studio 2019,
I have tried to Install It, It says Version is Invalid for VS2019
I use VS2019 Professional
I have made a fork of the AnkhSVN project and published a version on Visual Studio Marketplace as AnkhSVN2019.
This version targets only Visual Studio 2019.
The page on the Visual Studio Marketplace is here:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=PhilJollans.AnkhSVN2019
You can also find it by searching the Visual Studio Marketplace in Visual Studio.
The project is on GitHub here:
https://github.com/PhilJollans/AnkhSVN2019
As far as I can tell it is working correctly, but that is based on a small number of systems, and I only use a subset of the features.
Support for Visual Studio 2022
My fork of AnkhSVN does not support Visual Studio 2022, but there is a version in the GitHub repository from the original developers of AnkhSVN.
As of 4-December-2021, this version is not available in the Visual Studio Marketplace, but you can download the package from the releases page on GitHub.
As of 4-December-2021, the download link for the current version is
https://github.com/AmpScm/AnkhSVN/releases/download/v2.9.87/Ankh-VSIX-2022.zip,
but there may now be a newer version.
The latest AnkhSVN version is not compatible with Visual Studio 2019 (and the project, unfortunately, seems dead).
A possible solution is to edit manually the files stored in the vsix file (it's a zip file with a different extension).
The file to edit are:
extension.vsixmanifest
Change the occurance of [15.0,16.0) to [15.0,17.0)
Change the prerequisite in this way:
<Prerequisite Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor" Version="[15.0,)" DisplayName="Visual Studio core editor" />
catalog.json
search Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor and change the version to "[15.0,)"
manifest.json
search Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor and change the version to "[15.0,)" as the catalog.json
After these changes it's possible to install the extension in VS2019 but still open a warning shown by VS related an incompatibility of the load process (AnkhSVN use a synchronous load, VS2019 want an async load).
Looks like it doesn't support VS2019 by default. https://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/
But you can try to update extension for VS2019.
Rename vsix to zip
Unzip
Open extension.vsixmanifest, manifest.json and catalog.json and for Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor change version to [15.0,)
Open extension.vsixmanifest and also replace all [15.0,16.0) by
[15.0,17.0)
Zip all files
Rename to vsix
The original AnkhSVN project developed by CollabNet is now abandoned and does not support Visual Studio 2019 now (the project is inactive for more than 17 months). As an alternative, consider migrating to VisualSVN that is now completely free for use on non-domain computers (no registration required) and provides about the same functionality compared with AnkhSVN (some users consider VisualSVN to be better for their use cases).
Migrating from AnkhSVN to VisualSVN is a straightforward process. The most recent VisualSVN 7.1 and VisualSVN 6.5 releases add support for multiple working copies within a single solution, and this makes the migration practically instant and painless for almost all users. See the article KB58: Migrating from AnkhSVN to VisualSVN for instructions and the article KB7: Using Multiple Working Copies in VisualSVN if your solution projects span across multiple working copies.
Note that the workarounds suggested in the accepted answer may cause overall Visual Studio destabilization and do not make AnkhSVN compatible with Visual Studio 2019. See the comments under these answers:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/55533335/761095
https://stackoverflow.com/a/55533472/761095
BTW, according to this post, those hacky workarounds do not work anymore.
DISCLAIMER: I am a support engineer with VisualSVN Team.
I've just installed AnkhSVN 2.8.12824 via "Manage Extensions". It seems to work, though Visual Studio 2019 complains that it might not be compatible with a future Visual Studio update (Deprecated APIs).

Seems to still be active on GitHub: github.com/simonp22/AnkhSVN
The owner removed the program from the marketplace until he works out the async loading in the code, according to a comment from him in the github project

I installed Visual SVN for Visual Studio 2017. It was working fine. After some days, i got a message box in visual studio to disable the Visual SVN for best performance. I disabled it but now, i don't know how to enable it again.
I tried installing Visual SVN again but it says that it is already installed.
I checked the Tools -> Options -> Source Control but it has only TFS and Git options and didn't find the Visual SVN options.
Any help would be appreciated.
You should be able to re-enable Visual SVN in Tools - Extensions and Updates.
I am trying to open the Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Samples with VS 2013 Express for Windows Desktop. To my surprise it claims that the individuals projects in the solution each cannot be opened because their project types (.vcxproj) are not supported by this version of the application.
Does anyone know why the vcxproj files cannot be opened, or how I could diagnose and repair the root cause of the problem?
Edit: I can also not open the vcxproj files in Mike Farnsworth's Rayito project.
It means that the projects were created in another version of Visual Studio.
Try to upgrade the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting Upgrade Solution.
Alternatively you could use Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition to see if that resolves the problem.
Windows Dev Center indicates that Visual Studio 2012 is required.
Hope this helps
Neither of the other answers seemed to help.
I uninstalled visual studio. I uninstalled SQL server. I reinstalled visual studio. Now it loads C++ projects correctly.
I understand a previous install of visual studio can cause the problem I was having. Apparently so can installing SQL server Express prior to installing Visual Studio 2013 Express.
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.
I downloaded and installed the PowerCommands.vsix extension for Visual Studio 2010.
But then, under Tools->Options there is no entry for the extension.
Visual Studio says that it is correctly installed in the Extension Manager.
Do you know where to find the tools?
Many thanks, Juergen
I've found these links:

So it seems that this is a serious problem that may occur.
In my case only a clean reinstallation of VS2010 fixed the problem.
