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 

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

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.

I've read this morning about the release dates of VS 2010 Beta 2 and also the final release of VS 2010.

As the wesite claims, the Beta 2 release is already out there for MSDN subscribers and it will be available from October 21, this year, for all the others.

The release will come out next year, March 22.
