Microsoft Visual SourceSafe?
Integrates reasonably well with VS.Net

Hi Dan:

Source Gear Vault is superb
(http://www.sourcegear.com/vault/index.asp).

Not sure what your price range is, but I've also heard good things
about Subversion, and it's free: http://subversion.tigris.org/

There is also Visual Source Safe, depending on the size of your team
and the need for remote access it may fit your needs. I wouldn't
recommend it for a large team. It also doesn't work so well off site.

Subversion. Powerful, easy to use, good documentation, scales well.

Cheers,

Hmm. Having been fighting it at various times this morning, I'm not
sure I'd agree.

There are worse problems than it not integrating as well as it might
with VS.NET though:

1) It's not as bullet-proof as it should be. We've had lots of problems
with "Version not found" errors etc. So far the worst thing we've lost
is file history, but others have lost "real" data.

2) It doesn't work well over anything other than a LAN. I *can* get it
to work from home over a VPN, but it's slow as anything.

3) The UI is horrible in various way (not using a worker thread when it
should, non-resizable dialogs in nasty places, etc)

Hi Dan,

I can recommend you the CVS.
https://www.cvshome.org/

E.g. WinCVS
http://www.wincvs.org/

I worked with it with JAVA, and now it supports C# sources in my work.

I found also http://sourceforge.net/projects/sharpcvslib/
but i've no experiences with it.

Cheers!
