Here is the coding standard: [http://www.idesign.net/iDesign/download/IDesign CSharp Coding Standard.zip](http://www.idesign.net/iDesign/download/IDesign CSharp Coding Standard.zip)[[^](http://www.idesign.net/iDesign/download/IDesign CSharp Coding Standard.zip "New Window")]

I have also had difficulties in a small team with coding standards. The best solution I found was to use Juval Lowy's coding standards (see website http://www.idesign.net/idesign/DesktopDefault.aspx). Using them stopped the me-versus-you stuff.

I am starting to use Subversion as a replacement for Visual Source Safe, and it is so much better. It's a great back-end source control system. I am using TortoiseSVN as a client. TortoiseSVN is a Windows Shell extension. You can also get settings to integrate TortoiseSVN into Visual Studio. One of the big differences between Subversion and VSS is the versioning system. It's much better to read the Subversion doco than for me to try and summarise it for you. But I reckon the Subversion versioning scheme is great. I wouldn't call myself an expert by any means, but I am really impressed with how intuitive Subversion and TortoiseSVN are to use.
