VS 2010 Team Development
-
Hi All, I have been looking into team development within VS 2010. Does this software have any built-in features that allow for team development (sync code etc.) or is additional software needed (VS Team Foundation Server, VS 2010 Ultimate)? Just a little insight into our setup. Our developers are in different locations, however we have a server, which we will soon all have VPN access to. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

No, you need an addition repository (even VS2010 Ultimate needs something like TFS). There are free source code repositories as well as paid ones. I haven't used any of the free ones, but have heard that some a pretty good, though lacking the integration of TFS.

If you want to keep the whole team synched, and a central code server is desirable (it is in some cases) or not a problem, try using SVN as a source control alternative (there are many others such as Mercurial and Git). I have the server hosted on a Linux machine and developers access the repositories via a Tortoise SVN client. There are a lot of revision control setups and software packages available, so do some research and pick one accordingly. They all have positives and negatives, but I've been using SVN for a bit now and it works great.
