Using Mercurial with Visual Studio 2010

Question

I am currently using Mercurial via Tortoise Hg for some of my side projects. I was wondering if there is tighter integration of Mercurial with Visual Studio 2010 via a plugin or some similar mechanism. What I'm thinking about is very similar to the git extensions which provide a plugin for VS. The plan is to eventually host the projects on Codeplex which supports Mercurial.

Answer 1

sure there is visualHG which works for 2010 RC at least.

another alternative (useful if you are in an environment where you don't have control over what is installed) is to use VS's external tools menus/buttons to launch tortoiseHg windows via hgtk

Answer 2

I've been using hgscc recently, and it works pretty well. It has a similar interface to TortoiseHG and also integrates with solution explorer. I've only used it with VS2008 but the website says it works with 2010 as well.
