Hi everyone, I just read a great post from Scott Guthrie (http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/04/26/box-selection-and-multi-line-editing-with-vs-2010.aspx) and watched the youtube video from Brittany Behrens (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp2WuJ2rEE4&feature=player_embedded#!). 

Check them out & take care,

Arthur

The last two blog posts were about the SVN plugin for Visual Studio from the CodePlex page: http://tsvnaddin.codeplex.com/.

I did not try to get it running at work, but I took it for a spin for some at home. The plugin did it's job, but I stumbled upon some problems which made me use the good old Tortoise SVN client.

First of all if want to update or commit the files you've changed in the project/solution you only get the csproj/sln file to update -> this was a major issue for me.

A second issue is that the splash screen cannot be removed on x64 systems. I had no problems running it on my x86 laptop, but on my Windows 7 x64 laptop I couldn't get rid of that screen.

The last problem appeared when trying to remove the plugin... it just wouldn't let me remove it at all. I posted a solution on the project page on CodePlex: http://tsvnaddin.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=79343.

To conclude, I have to say that the project is in it's beta state so the problems I encountered will probably be solved in the future and the good work of integrating SVN into Visual Studio should continue :)

With this post I end my thread on this Visual Studio SVN plugin. I will come back with further information when a new (maybe a stable) version of the plugin will be available.

Have a good night, Arthur 

The SVN plugin didn't really integrate into my Visual Studio 2008 Pro at work so I didn't get the chance to use it at all.

I will be taking it for a ride for some personal stuff later next month, so I'll be back with a short review on it later.

Till then, take care,

Arthur

I've just found a great plug-in for Visual Studio for managing repositories. I've been using Tortoise SVN (which did a great job btw) but I was always looking for a nice integration with Visual Studio and now I found it at: http://tsvnaddin.codeplex.com/.

I will try it out for a couple of days and will come back with my impressions.

Till then, take care,

Arthur

I read this morning that Visual Studio 2010 RC will be delivered february next year.

A more different story is that the new Moonlight 2 version is avaible to download and install on linux, which I obviously did and I can say, it works fine so hats off for Novell.
