Visual Studio - Working on the same project via multiple machines

Question

I like to work between my laptop and desktop during different parts of the day. I have recently installed VS 2010 Ultimate (Extreme) and am wondering the best way to go about sharing a project across these two machines. Whether to go with something like subversion, or whether to put the project on a network drive and open it on the current machine I am on. Any thoughts or warnings from someone more experienced much appreciated.

Answer 1

I would most certainly go with Subversion or Git.

I have a work & home desktop + a laptop on which I do all my dev work.

I save all my changes to Subversion (which in itself is good practise) and it also means that I can carry on from where I left off really fast.. A quick Update command gets my latest code and I'm ready to go..

Also, to save me from having to copy databases or run database projects, I run my DBs on my work PC (which I never turn off) and access it via VPN. There's no need to change connection strings in my apps either since My-PC\SQLEXPRESS works both from My-PC and from the other 2 computers (because they're on the same network).
