The document is based on:

  • Visual Studio 2013 (Ok for Visual studio 2015).

2. The installation requires

No ADS
This is a working model for Java team using Visual Studio and SVN:
The Programmers of team participate together to develop an application, the working result of each member will be posted on SVN Repository as well as be shared to other members.
To get SVN Repository, you need to install a SVN Server like Visual SVN on some computer, and it will be a SVN server. You can see the instruction of installing and configuring Visual SVN at:
  • Use SVN Repository for free XP-Dev
Next on each member's computer must be installed AnkhSVN, this is a plugin for Visual Studio to communicate with SVN Server.

3. SVN configuration for Visual Studio

No ADS
After you set up AnkhSVN, you need to restart Visual Studio and start the configure SVN Plugin for Visual Studio.
In Visual Studio select:
  • Tools/Options

4. Share Project to SVN Repository

No ADS
First, a member needs to share the code of the initial project on SVN Repository.
Assuming that on Visual Studio, I have 01 Solution named as MySolution which contains 3 Projects. I will post MySolution on SVN Repository.
On Visual SVN, a Repository named as CSharpProjects has been created.
Copy URL:
Copy URL of the SVN Repository.
  • https://TRAN-VMWARE/svn/CSharpProjects/
You can change the name server by IP address.
If you use XP-DEV and create a SVN Repository, you will also have the corresponding URL, using this URL.
Back to Visual Studio.
We will share 2 Project: ProjectController & ProjectModel into repository JavaProjects:
Enter SVN account:
MySolution and its Projects are posted on SVN Repository.
See in Visual SVN Server:

5. Checkout Project from SVN Repository

No ADS
Other members in the group will checkout Projects from Repository to our own computer.
Open Visual Studio:
Selecting the folder location where Solution (containing projects) will be saved on local computer.
Solution is downloaded to your computer from SVN Repository:
You can check it on the local folder.

6. Commit

No ADS
Now we modify (or add) files on Projects, and Commit them to Repository.
Add a new file.
To put the changed data on SVN Repository, you can right-click on Solution then select "Commit Solution Changes". This way will put all of the new files or the changed files in all Projects of Solution on SVN Repository.
You can right click on Project with new file or modification, then select:
  • Source Control/Commit Project Changes
You can also select the new files, and the files was modified to post up SVN Repository:

7. Update

No ADS
By using the function Update, you can update the new files and files changing from SVN Repository.
Right-click on Solution, then select "Update Solution to Lastest version" in order to update all the changes of Projects in Solution. If there is a new project on the SVN Repository, the project will be download to local computer.
You can also update the changes of a particular Project.
Or updating the changes of specific files or folders.

8. The basic functions

No ADS
We will learn about how to use some important functions.
Add to svn:ignore
When you want SVN to ignore and not to bring a folder or a file to SVN Repository, you can use the function: Ignore
For example, you have a folder containing data files you don't want to share as the below illustrated image:
Right-click the MyNote folder, select:
  • Subversion -> Ignore -> Ignore Files in Folder (*).
After finishing the "Ignore" function, you have to commit the changes.
