It sounds like you need to use SourceSafe. It's pretty easy to use and integrates with the vs.net IDE.

Find the disk and install it. Use the administrator tool to create a database in a location that's accessible to all of your developers. Add your projects to it and hey presto, you've got shared source code.

 

If you've got specific questions, please come back to me, otherwise you can find some pretty specific help in the VSS help files.

Of course if you are not using Visual Studio or if you are not interested in SourceSafe, check out cvs. There is a version called cvsnt for windows that allows multideveloper environment. This is a command line utility, but there is also a windows shell extension called tortoisecvs that makes it much easier (almost too easy).

 

I have never used SourceSafe before so I cannot speak for it's ease of use. But after having used CVS for source control, I would never go back. We have 5 developers where I work and we do use Visual Studio for our development but use CVS for source control. It does _not_ integrate with VS though. Just my 2 cents.

The people who do TortoiseCVS also do a VS.Net plugin found here - have never used it myself though.
