svn api to access repo files from VBA

Question

I'm new to VB and SVN and involved in writing automation scripts in VBA. I've got a requirement where we need to 'retrieve ,checkout ,add ' files to SVN remote repository from VB code in background as part of automation. Please can anyone guide me what needs to be done.

Any libraries , projectsetup ,code ,links, info you can share to start on this.

Answer 1

Ever thought of using NANT, Rake or MsBuild to automate your build scripts?

Answer 2

Your best first approach should be simply to execute the Subversion client via system(), shell() or whatever:

system( "svn checkout something" );

If you haven't got a SVN command line client, you can get a free one for Windows one from here.

Answer 3

Check out sharpsvn. The API documentation isn't the best but it works.
