Hi,

I am using visual web developer express 2008 for one of my personal projects. I am looking for a source safe or similar product that is free and that can integrate with visual web developer 2008. Please let me know if you know any products.

Thanks, sridhar.

As far as I know, extension points allowing for such integration are unavailable in VWD. That's the price for using free Express version...

In your place I would use Subversion and Tortoise SVN, which is quite convenient, even though you'll need to manage your source control in Explorer windows, not in VWD. For some time I was working in a such way even using full VS.NET

Good luck :)

There's simply nothing better then Subversion.

Take a look at the article on how to set it up and integrate with Visual Web Developer Express 2008 Subversion with Visual Studio 2008

I agree. Subversion i widely used among larger companies as well.

Unless you agree with Linus Torvalds and think Git is The Bomb.

It's a bit complicated to use git on windows though.
