The following message a project with that name is already opened in the solution when you try to add -> existing project ... to your solution.
dependency : AnkhSvn

This is an problem with AnkhSvn for which the following work around works well:

be careful and please backup/make a copy of your solution file before proceeding:

open your solution file with notepad or similar and search for the reference to the existing project:
(mine looked as follows)

Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "GraspTest", "GraspTest\GraspTest.csproj", "{28F01283-3324-4E3C-A1FE-C256F29130A6}"
EndProject

Just delete this entry and try again.

The following shows how paragraphs and divs break the flow of text:

1. freetxt

paragraph 2.1 - display: block

freetxt
2. freetxt
division 1.1 with default block display
freetxt
The following shows how paragraphs and divs can be "display: inline" the keep the flow of text:
(carefully see how the red lines break the flow - they are setup as "display: block" )

freetext
division [display:inline]
freetext

paragraph [display:inline]

freetext

DIV3 [float: none]
DIV4 [float: left or none] .. on a new line due to DIV3 not floating

Source control with SVN

by pietman 9. March 2010 09:45

Some additional notes on SVN:

running it as a server:

Please follow below to troubleshoot the following errors:

when trying to view the https repository
OPTIONS of 'https://localhost/svn/.....' could not connect to server (https://localhost)


it seems that your localhost SVN server is not running.

try creating a service as follow:
click on "start" -> "run" -> type "cmd"

type the following - but change the paths as necessary:
sc create "svnservice" binPath= "\"C:\Program Files (x86)\VisualSVN Server\bin\svnserve.exe\" --service -r c:\Users\tempuser\Documents\SVNRepositories" DisplayName= "Subversion SVN service"  start= auto

you should see the following

[SC] CreateService SUCCESS

then simply start is as follows:

sc start "svnservice"

now you can access your repositories again with the following URL:

svn://localhost/myrepository
