Which open source Source Controls products integrate with Microsoft VB6? - version-control

I'm looking to possibly move away from CVS (to maybe SVN).
Anyone know which open source version control systems integrate with the VB6 IDE (automatic checkouts, etc.) ?

SVN will work with VB6. there is a VB6 version of SVN that intergrates with the IDE called SVNVB6.
Let me direct you to: svnvb6.tigris.org

Tortoise SVN attaches to Windows and you can use it with anything including VB6, .NET or just files on your PC.

Visual SVN integrates with Visual Studio, although I don't know about the VB6 IDE:

There are some answers here regarding Subversion and VB6:

Mercurial plugin for visual studio code

I'm developping a project with React.
The IDE I use for React (ES6) is Visual Code and the version control is Mercurial Hg.
(I'm in Windows and I get issue with Atom, that's why I use Visual Code).
My problem is I cannot find a plugin for Visual Code to manage the source control with Hg.
Is anyone know a plugin and can help me ?
As #mrcrowl mentionned in his comment, this is the plugin I was loking for
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mrcrowl.hg
Visual Studio Code was designed to be directly integrated with Git, so currently there aren't any resources for Visual Studio Code that add Mercurial integration, however, many people have already expressed their interest in the idea on Visual Studio Code's UserVoice.
If you really want to, you could always create a simple plugin for Visual Studio Code that adds a couple commands to the editor, which could then be used to help you control the Mercurial CLI.

Source Control for Xamarin /VS2010 cross-platform solutions

I would like to know how to connect Xamarin Studio with a TFS (Team Foundation Server) for source control purposes or, if it's not possible, how to connect Visual Studio 2010 to Git.
I am already trying to use TFS from http://tfs.visualstudio.com/ and it's working great with VS2010 but I couldn't find a way to connect it to Xamarin Studio.
The goal is to manage all source codes in the same way - the developers are located in different places so the server should be placed in internet - and I think I will decide among TFS or Git. I tried to use the Git Plugin but it doesn't work with VS2010.
Is there anyone who already found a good solution? I know there's a plugin for VS2012 (Using Git with Visual Studio) but I found nothing for 2010 version.
I tried to use this too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efS0kKvfi6k but I think it's not what I am looking for (reliable way to manage source codes from a server)!
I am ready to install and use other source control systems too, if they can manage sources from VS and Xamarin Studio.
First, you have to have a git-enabled team project. Then from Xamarin Studio click on version control menu then choose checkout. Enter your team project url tfs credentials to git clone it.
Xamarin studio integrates with git and subversion out of the box now, and will connect to any tfs projects that have been git enabled. (i don't use subversion so i can't speak to that one)

TFS support for netbeans ide

I need to checkout and manage a project from TFS (Team Foundation Server) and was wondering if there is an easy way to do this.
I usually use SVN, but for this particular project, TFS is a requirement.
The best way I've found so far with a bit of Googling is at http://marceloverdijk.blogspot.com/2009/01/grails-netbeans-and-microsoft-team.html
Short answer, no I don't think there is any easy way to integrate the Netbeans IDE and TFS. However there are some options.
Firstly you could use the SVN bridge this allows subversion clients to connect to TFS. If that is viable then you should be good to go. Here are a couple of blog posts that you may find useful when using TFS if you have a SVN background. SVN to TFS. If SVN Bridge doesn't meet your needs then there are other ways to use TFS but none of them are integrated in to the Netbeans IDE.
If you're developing on Windows then you can install Team Explorer (Use the version that matches the version of TFS you're using e.g. if you're connecting to TFS 2010 then install Team Explorer 2010), this will install a Visual Studio Shell and the Team Explorer plugin. Along side that it will install the "tf" command line utility, you then have a choice of using either a GUI with the VS plugin, or the command line.
You should also install the TFS power tools, they add some usefull functionality such as extra command line tools (using the "tfpt" command) they will also install windows explorer integration, this will allow you to do some basic Source Control functions from the Right Click menu in windows explorer (Check out, check in, diff etc)
You should also look at Team Explorer Everywhere, I don't think it does Netbeans integration but it does do Eclipse. If you're developing on an OS other than Windows then this is your only option.
To use any on these tools you must have a TFS CAL to be licenced properly. If you have an MSDN licence that will probably include a CAL, if not then someone needs to spend some cash and buy one :-).
Since TFS started to support Git repositories, it is possible to:
create TFS project for Git
after project creation use url from Code tab
to configure Git Repository Location in NetBeans IDE
Once you have the tf.exe (from Visual Studio or Team Explorer) there is a plugin that can be configured to do the TFS commands from NetBeans:
Download plugin from: http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=676
Install the plugin in NetBeans: Tools\Plugins\Downloaded\Add Plugins…
Configure the plugin in NetBeans: Tools\Options\Path Tools
At Edit Commands For File enter: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\tf" checkout "{path}"
Press Ok
With a file selected in the editor, or the package explorer press the “Edit Path…” toolbar button.
The file is now checked out in TFS.
Make sure to use the proper path to tf.exe.
There are 3 buttons, so you can configure 3 TFS actions (I use checkout, add, delete).
Microsoft actively supports only Eclipse for TFS integration.
At this page there are more info and the possibility to upvote, to report your interest in such a feature directly to Microsoft.
In NB 8.2 you can setup Kenai Team Server.
then you will be able to login into a team server : menu Team->Team Server -> login

how I integrate TortoiseSVN with the netbeans6.8?

how I integrate TortoiseSVN with the netbeans6.8 ?
Its easy to connect between Netbeans and tortoiseSVN. If you are using windows:
You need to install subversion for windows (http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32svn/). After that you must set the path in win environment to include the subversion bin folder.
Install Tortoise client
Open Netbeans, and go to Windows > Versioning > Open the path where you install the subversion. or you can right click on your project folder and choose subversion.
Hope this help even its almost a year thread
TortoiseSVN is a standalone program. NetBeans has its own SVN integration. The two are unrelated, but you can use both of them interchangeably.
http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/ide/subversion.html
http://tortoisesvn.net/
What you need to do is install SVN - a version that is compatible with both Netbeans and Tortoise. Tortoise is built for Subversion 1.6.6 and Netbeans supports who knows what? They claim support for Subversion: 1.4.x, 1.5.x, 1.6.x on their website but if you google it you will see they seem to have a lot of problems with it.
My experience was that any performance gain from IDE integration was offset almost immediately by having to constantly troubleshoot it everytime SVN was upgraded. You will be better off doing your version control at the command line or just via Tortoise (which is lovely - I miss the shell integration now that I am using ubuntu and git).
Not sure you do. Perhaps you integrate NetBeans directly with Subversion? Subversion integration seems to be built in to NetBeans on my installation. TortoiseSVN integrates with Windows Explorer.

Netbeans 6.5 Diff Tool

I'm very happy of Netbeans 6.5 diff tool, I have to ask some questions about it:
which is its name?
there's an equivalent for eclipse?
is there any standalone version (without netbeans)?
Thank you very much!!
Valerio
Here is some info about the Netbeans diff tool. It is part of the support modules for Netbeans version control. Here is a link to the Netbeans source code for its version control modules.
TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org) includes a visual diff/merge tool (TortoiseMerge) which is very nice. As a bonus, you can diff images, for example the application UI, using TortoiseIDiff. TortoiseSVN integrates Subversion with the (Windows) desktop.
