Question

I use more than one machine for development in VS 2008. Is there a tool to automatically synchronize the snippets between the machines? Same concept of synchronizing browsers' bookmark.

Was it helpful?

OTHER TIPS

If you have Vista and the LiveMesh client installed try this suggestion

Hope this helps.

The machines are in different locations, home and work so software like SyncToy won't work. I don't know about SyncBack. It's not clear from their web site if it can be done over the web. I can't find the client software on MS's site for Live Mesh.

I will check ideas here: http://lifehacker.com/372175/free-ways-to-synchronize-folders-between-computers

Try one of these:

1) http://www.getdropbox.com

2) https://www.foldershare.com/welcome.aspx

3) Microsoft Office Groove

I personally use SVN.

I tried foldershare and did all the setup and it's not syncing. Also when I chose On Demand type of synchronization instead of Automatic, I expected to see an option to trigger the synchronization manually and I couldn't find it. I didn't like the software.

Looked around and found syncplicity and it works fine.

Assuming you already know what files you need/want sync'd then some additional options to Mesh would be to tool-out. Maybe look at SyncToy or SyncBack to keeps these collection of files centralized - then have all your machines pull from the central data store.

There is also Live Sync (formery FolderShare) which works over the internet.
