It depends on which VS / MSDN subscription you have. See this <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=1FA86E00-F0A3-4290-9DA9-6E0378A3A3C5&displaylang=en#filelist" rel="nofollow">whitepaper</a> (page 8) for some info. I know the subscription fee is high, but if you have it the source control is included for up to 5 users. Otherwise I would look at Plastic SCM since it seems to have a good set of feature and a low price. <a href="http://www.codicesoftware.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.codicesoftware.com/</a> You may have the right to use Team Foundation Server Workgroup Edition.

I've used AnkhSVN and VisualSVN, VisualSVN is the better of the two (can't find my key tho!). Great post Wyatt, I've recently moved every proejct I'm working on (30+) to a Continous Integration enviroment, and SubText was something I looked at when planning how to set everything up. CI is amazing! I've just started a new job where they have contracted most of their .NET stuff out, so moving everything to a CI implentation will be perfect for working with the other contractors I use SVN for large projects without a problem.

Vault looks promising. I like the SourceSafe import feature. I've always hated VSS. I dont find it to be very intuitive. Its interface is poorly designed. But inertia and integration with VS has kept me using it. silverCore, thanks for the recommendation. Vault looks promising. I like the SourceSafe import feature.

Not free, but cheap enough ($49) and it has a 30 day free trial. Honestly, for a team of one, presuming you don't have a requirement to do major remote access, SourceSafe is reasonably adequate. Or at least adequate enough and better than nothing. I have heard good things about VisualSVN (http://www.visualsvn.com/). Not free, but cheap enough ($49) and it has a 30 day free trial.

It does not have to be free, just affordable for a team of one. Thanks, Jason Source Control and VS
