Hi,How do I version control the SSRS project files?

TFS is the best option which has worked for me.You can use other version control system like SVN, CVS But those are difficult to integrate with the VS interface. You need to checkin and checkout fro the windows folder level.Blog: http://dineshasanka.spaces.live.com

Hi Dinesh,We use SVN in our company. So I have to check-in the entire project folder in SVN is it? The reason why I ask this is, for SSIS packages, we check-in the .dtsx file alone in the SVN.

I registered to say That Dinesh's advice is not correct. SVN integrates beautifully with VS, as do many other version control systems. Simply Google 'SVN in Visual Studio' and you see MANY options which are fully integrated. :rolleyes: If you are using SVN for this, then commit the whole project to the trunk and you'll have a great starting point. The benefits of SVN over TFS are numerous in my opinion.

I guess I just don't understand how to get VisualSVN working with Business Intelligence Dev Studio and would appreciate some assistance. I can create projects and add them to subversion but then I can not open the project back from Subversion. It errors saying I need to have a solution file. So I created a blank solution file, added to subversion, committed changes, and then added a new project to the solution, added to subversion, committed, added reports, committed. Now I go back and try to pull the solution from subversion and all it opens is the solution file. The project file along with the rdl files is not returned. I would love to use Visual SVN with BIDS but am willing to use as a file system version control but I just don't see an intuitive way to get started with files that are already in SVN. I did set up a working copy on my hard drive and pulled all the RDL files into the folders but since Visual Studio pulls your files into a specific directory when placed in a project, I lose the links with my subversion tree in Windows Explorer. I'm very new to SVN so would appreciate any tips. Thanks, Beth
