I'm looking for a webbased solution like DropBox or a solution to integrate with DropBox where I can control the files like Microsoft Visual SourceSafe a check in/out system.
Thanks in advance.
If you want to version control code with a web-based interface, suggest you check out github (git) and unfuddle (subversion). They are hosted solutions, like dropbox but they have the features you will need to version control source code.
If you're desperate to try and use dropbox for source code control, it's been asked before. Try searching stackoverflow for questions on dropbox like this one.

I need access to the complete Xamarin documentation locally considering the fact that the one provided through Visual Studio Help Viewer is incomplete and unpleasant to the eyes when browsing through its interface.
After cloning the one from https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/xamarin-docs I'm now interested in how could I open it in the same manner when I'm browsing it online; (I see all kinds of files like .yml etc.) ?
Thanks.
I have just installed AnkhSVN, and it works great, I just have one question. If someone else in the project commits a change to a file, is there anyway for me to see this WITHOUT updating the project? If I change something a small red box shows up on that file in Solution Explorer, is there any way to get something like that when a file on the SVN is n newer version that on my local copy? In case that doesn't work. Is there anyway to see all changes that was made since last I updated. So I can keep track on whats going on in the project?
There's a tab called 'Recent Changes' in the 'Pending Changes' window that facilitates just that. See also http://ankhsvntips.net/post/1478971385/recent-changes-auto-refresh
I would recommend using a Google Code project. This way, you can easily keep track of any update or member of the project directly on the project's Google site.
Setting up a Google Code project is easy and pretty straight-forward. Since you already have AnkhSVN on Visual Studio, the only thing would be to link the Google Code project to your local project.
You can follow this as a guide : Google Code project using Visual Studio and AnkhSVN
I don't know if it is possible or not.. I just wanted to work on a vb6 project remotely. For instance, My friend is working on a vb6 project. and I want to work on that project from my computer. But we are only connected to each other via internet. Is it possible to work on a same vb6 project file from local machine and a remote access also?
The same project file? No, it can't be open in two places at once.
But you can do like every other developer in the world and use a version control system. There are lots of free options available online, like Bitbucket, GitHub, and Assembla.
What you do is create an account on one of those sites, upload your code to the website, and then you and your coworker can each check out a copy of the source. Whenever you make a significant change, you upload your changes back to the website, and your coworker can update his local copy with the new changes (or vice versa).
Of course, there are lots of different options for version control systems: Git, Mercurial (Hg), and Subversion (SVN) just to name a few. You'll need to do some research online to compare the advantages and disadvantages of each, and see which one you prefer.
I believe all of the sites I linked to have a "how to" or "getting started" guide that you will probably find rather useful.
Should have been simple but I guess not.. I downloaded the Prism 2.2 source and the Prism Prism 4.0 Drop 3 source and they both do the same thing. I run the installer and click "Yes" to agree to the terms and then it loads but no files are put on my computer.
Anyone?
I've seen this issue at the Prism forum at codeplex many times, and it is usually related to the fact that there are some policies in your computer that don't allow vbscripts to run (this usually happens if that's your office's policy).
You should treat the .exe as a .zip file from which you can manually unzip content. Related links below:

I hope this helps people who run into this.

we've recently stumbled across the excellent Dispatch for ASP FTP deployment plug in. It looks great apart from one thing: It doesn't work with Visual Studio 2010, at least for us, anyway. (It's supposed to work fine.)
(Yes, we've tried everything: We've managed to get Dispatch working for another FTP site, but not the main one we regularly deploy to. We have managed to connect to our main site through FileZilla FTP, so the site itself is configured correctly. All settings have been triple checked, but the software still throws up weird errors (always to do with its internal libraries).)
So does anyone know of any other comparable FTP-based, deployment plug-in for Visual Studio?
Here's what Dispatch does (and so any suggested replacement must do):
Monitor any altered files
in the project. When a file is
changed, it's added to a list of
files to be deployed.
To deploy these
files to the live site, all we need
to do is click "Upload" and the plugin will
connect via FTP to our live site and
upload the selected files.
We can filter out
any filenames we don't want to be
monitored/uploaded (e.g. .cs or
web.config or /Images/, etc.)
I think that's all the features that we need. Thanks for any suggestions!
Note: If you're wondering why we need such a service, it's because we deploy many site changes over the course of a single day. Publishing the entire project to a folder, zipping it up, then FTPing that zip file, only to have to unzip it, and then install the entire project into the live wwwroot takes far too long. With Dispatch you're able to upload individual files in a single click.
After much back and forth between me and the creator of Dispatch, we managed to narrow down the problem to the library he was using (Rebex FTP). I posted a question about the issue on the Rebex forums, and it was revealed that their software might have a bug with IIS7.5. They suggested a quick hack/fix, which I tested and discovered worked.
Mr. Dispatch then quickly implemented this hack/fix into his software, and lo! I had a fully working copy of Dispatch... So no need for a replacement any more!
(And from what I've seen, there isn't even any other plug-ins offering this functionality, so it's just as well.)
Just an update - Dispatch does not work with VS 2013 so if you have VS 2012 with Dispatch installed, Keep it. Also the website is gone so it looks like all development has ceased. I have been using Dispatch since VS2005 and it has been great for just sending single files up when I need to. Too bad it is gone.
I built a very simple one for myself - you right click the file in Solution Explorer and it then uploads that file based on a settings file you create.
It's super crude but it works and the source is there to make it better if you like -

Big enhancements have been added to VS2008, VS2010, VS2012. Below is the article. I found that Microsoft did all the above while I was searching. Since this came up high in what I was searching, thought should share this knowledge.
