Hi,

I want to share the same Visual Studio 2010 project with my team where my team can work on the same project at the same time, anywhere, anytime. I know TFS can do it,but I don't want to use it because we can't afford the license fee,can you please suggest another way which is simpler....

Please do reply.

Thank you.

A: 

The category of tool you're looking for is called, alternatively, "Version Control", "Version Management", or "Revision Control". This software forms a critical part of a larger discipline called "Software Configuration Management".

For us, we use the Subversion system. It's got excellent Windows support (and integrates nicely with Visual Studio with ankhsvn. It's all free, of course.

Other popular systems include git and Mercurial. There are many, many others.

I recommend looking into Subversion. This way you can save your code. It isn't dependent on Visual Studio easy to expand/change/etc. Also if two or more people are working on the same project then the program can merge the files or show the conflicts.

I'd use TortoiseSVN, it's a subversion client that allows you to do exactly what you want to.

TortoiseSVN is a really easy to use Revision control / version control / source control software for Windows. Since it's not an integration for a specific IDE you can use it with whatever development tools you like. TortoiseSVN is free to use. You don't need to get a loan or pay a full years salary to use it.
