Hi, I like to work between my laptop and desktop during different parts of the day. I have recently installed VS 2010 Ultimate (Extreme) and am wondering the best way to go about sharing a project across these two machines. Whether to go with something like subversion, or whether to put the project on a network drive and open it on the current machine I am on. Any thoughts or warnings from someone more experienced much appreciated.

If you have a server on an accessible networked that gets backed up, use that along with a source control app.

Thanks, when you say 'source control app' you are referring to something like svn or git right?

Yes, or one of the Microsoft products if you want to go that route.

I would most certainly go with Subversion or Git.
I have a work & home desktop + a laptop on which I do all my dev work.
I save all my changes to Subversion (which in itself is good practise) and it also means that I can carry on from where I left off really fast.. A quick Update command gets my latest code and I'm ready to go..
Also, to save me from having to copy databases or run database projects, I run my DBs on my work PC (which I never turn off) and access it via VPN. There's no need to change connection strings in my apps either since My-PC\SQLEXPRESS works both from My-PC and from the other 2 computers (because they're on the same network).

If you have chance, install TFS. Now TFS can be installed on a desktop machine with Windows 7 or xp
With TFS you will maximize your distributed works. Visual Studio has best entegration with TFS.
I suggest you to use TFS; if you have a licenced copy or MSDN subs.
