Hello Everyone,

Can anyone recommend some VS.NET source control products for both ASP.NET
and VB.NET development?

SourceGear Vault
Visual SourceSafe 2005
Subversion
CVS

Anything else you guys recommend?

I'm looking for a product that was built primarily for VS.NET. Subversion
and CSV are OK, but a bit complex to use.

Any other suggestions? Our team is ~6 people. We'll be doing a lot of off
site development, so VPN and offline access is very important.

Thanks.

Vault has worked well for us.

Dragnet and Vault are free for 1 developer, so you can easily give it a
quick try.

I'd say to consider VSS ,but the offline access is crap (ie, it's all
network share-based).

Whatever you decide, take a good look at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/Tdlg_rm.asp?frame=true

It says it's for VSS, but really it's a great read for any source control
wiht vs.net solutions/projects

That's good to hear - I'm leaning towards vault myself : )

We use VSS in conjunction with SourceXT from these guys:
http://www.acorden.com/.
Rich client access to VSS via WebServices, so you only need port 80 open.
Works great for us.

I don't agree.

Subversion (the server) may seem a little difficult to configure, but if
you read the docs you'll realize that's very easy indeed... You may need
Apache if you want HTTP access to the repository: that's the only
challenge you may face, the rest is fairly simple to setup and I would
be quite happy to help you with it.

The client tool we use is TortoiseSVN: this integrates nicely with
Windows Explorer and for basic operations that's really easy to use too.
Again you need a quick look at the docs before starting...

Offline support is great: you check out your local copy, do all your
work (disconnected) and when you regain connectivity you commit.

SVN supports a copy-modify-merge model, as opposed to a
lock-modify-unlock: this means that difeerent developers can work on
their individual copies of the same file at the same time and SVN will
merge their changes if possible. This is all explained very well in the
docs.

Finally, the price: both SVN and Tortoise are open source products and
are free for any use, including commercial... You don't get better value
for money than that!

Happy coding!
