[dba-VS] Visual Studio 2013 and Version Control

[John Colby]

On the (apparent) advice of Shamil I decided to forget GitHub and simply 
downloaded and installed the pieces required to run SVN with VS 2013.  I 
have run SVN since I started my projects somewhere around 2007 and it 
has run flawlessly ever since.  I checked the current 2010 project out 
and it was placed into the 2013 directory chain, but failed to compile 
due to missing references to DLLs.  I zipped the dlls referenced under 
VS2010, created a References directory under the 2013 dir chain, and 
placed those DLLS into that location on the new DEV machine.  Opened the 
solution, clicked on the references and they magically fixed themselves 
to point to the 2013 references location.  The project now compiles and 
runs under 2013.

Source control is magic and sure does make things simpler.

BTW my old dev machine was a VM running Server 2003 X32, and had VS2005, 
VS2008 and VS2010 installed.  Shows you how long ago I started this.

My "new" VM is running Server 2008 R2 X64 and VS2013.
