    Do you use some version control in your development machine? What? Subversion, CVS, VSTS, etc... Do are happy with this version control? Usually we used client version control (by example, to connect in sourceforge, etc). I wish use client and server parts, then I wish listen your opinions, please :)

      I'd suggest sourcesafe or vault, probably. I'd lean toward Vault. Depending on the feature set you need, you could also possibly get by with a script that copies your sourcecode out to a backup location at a certain time every day. I've done such things when I was particularly broke. What kind of features/price range are we talking about? On another note, if someone on this list does decide to develop a personal version control system, I'd like to propose a name. Perversion (kind of like subversion, except it is personal only). Just think how funny it would be to tell your friends that you have a Perversion server on your network. :-)

        I use PVCS at work and Subversion at home. PVCS 7.5 is slow, and has some quirks with false locks sometimes. For the money, I'd expect more. I have PVCS 8, but haven't tested it yet. It has an actual file server which should improve speed issues, as well as use less network bandwidth. Subversion was easy to set up, for the most part, but I haven't used it enough to have much opinion. So far, so good, and it's free.

            Subversion is dead easy to set up and use (especially with TortoiseSVN). Speaking from practical experience, it's faster and easier than a batch file that copies your code out to a network drive. Hard to beat that... :)

              SourceGear Vault[^] It's free for one user. If you're used to using VSS, then Vault is a good solution for you. If you need more than one user, then go with Subversion. It's also free. I have used it before, and I had no problems with it.

                TortoiseSVN is to manage client-side or server side too?

                  I've been using ComponentSoftware's CS-RCS Basic[^] for years. The Basic version is free for personal use, and I found it much easier to set up than the "big boys" like CVS and Subversion. Since I only develop software part of the time, I needed something that didn't require any thought on my part. :) (It's that way with all of my tools, e.g., my favourite PC Board layout program is very easy for me to pick up again after having not used it at all for many months.) -- modified at 15:48 Wednesday 9th August, 2006

                      For most tasks, it'll handle both adequately.

                        Idem at home, and at work cvs before and now tfvc. I found that tfvc has some strange behaviors. For example: If you only change something in the UI, and make a CheckIn you will not see that checkin in the Changes Histor Window, you will be able to see it if you go to the server, but not from the client pc. At least this is what happens here. Things like this happened to me with tfvc, so personnaly I would not recommend it yet if you search for somehing already used and stable. I like VSS but I don't know any of the mentionned previously, it may worth the shot.

                          Hi! I use CVS and for the integration into Visual Studio the PushOK CVS SCC proxy. CVS is free and the PushOK proxy costs 24$, but if you don't need the integration into Visual Studio, you can use e.g. WinCVS which is free.

                            Been using Visual Source Safe, but for some time I'm using Tortoise. In my opinion it does a better job. And I feel more safe using it. I've had some bad experiences with VSS.

                                      Do you use some version control in your development machine? What? Subversion, CVS, VSTS, etc... Do are happy with this version control? Usually we used client version control (by example, to connect in sourceforge, etc). I wish use client and server parts, then I wish listen your opinions, please :)

                                      Subversion; Yup, very happy, it just works and works well. Well enough that sooner or later I'm going to find that donation link again and donate to the cause.

                                        Subversion is dead easy to set up and use (especially with TortoiseSVN). Speaking from practical experience, it's faster and easier than a batch file that copies your code out to a network drive. Hard to beat that... :)
