 		For a while I've been using subversion which I like alot but it has the downside that it creates .svn folders everywhere, visual studio doesn't like this.

Everyday I'm working on my code from several locations and different computers and right now I got to the point where I accidentally unplugged my network cable while leaving home this morning, which means I cannot access the latest version of my code.

So I'm looking for free (or not too expensive) software which takes care of storing the code on my server, a plus would be something that can also be integrated into visual studio for the laziness but it's not required.

What do you recommend?

 		So is the problem that you don't have SVN integration in VisualStudio?

I've not tried it but you could take a look at: VisualSVN.

 		Well visual studio integration is a plus, it's not really a must as I want it to work for any kind of project. Just when I used subversion and published an asp site visual studio didn't like the invisible .svn folders. "Publish failed" it said everytime. (The site did upload but it failed on those .svn folders)

VisualSVN looks promising but I'll have to try it.

 		If you're using VS Express then I doubt that you'll find something which integrates nicely with it, since there's no support for 'addons'. I could be wrong, though.

 		You could maybe build some VBScript scripts to clean up your folders for you. Maybe a .bat file that will run turtleSVN (or whatever your using) and then clean your projects after.

 		Oh I got a full version of visual studio through msdn/school so that's not a problem. I'll give virtualSVN a shot tonight and see what happens.

 		If you have command line access on the server, you can remove all .svn folders by running:

 		The .svn folders he is talking about are in the project folder on his PC, not the server. Although that would still work if you installed cygwin; plus you can do similar with cmd prompt, VBScript and if you have it installed, powershell.

 		I don't do any coding away from home, and since those systems are all networked, I've no need to mess about with these things.
But, I always imagined I'd just use a thumbdrive in cases like that.

Any reason why you can't just do that?
