Me and a couple classmates are going to start working on an asp website together. Is there a way for all of us to work on different machines and different parts of the site, then combine the code into a whole. I was reading about the differences between Website and web application but that doesn't seem to answer my question.That looks like it has to do with the way the code is handled ie; compiled, not compiled, and I can't find anything on the interent about it either.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

What you want is called Source Control. It's a way for all of you to work in the same project, different (or even the same!) files.

The one designed by Microsoft is called Team Foundation Server, and they are typically expensive for professional outlets, but Microsoft has something which should provide the level of service you need (way more features than you need, probably). The best part about it though is that it integrates seamlessly into Visual Studio. http://tfs.visualstudio.com/

Alternatively there are other free options, such as github, but they often require your software to obey certain rules (be open source, for instance). Check them out, too. https://github.com/

Answer 2

What you're looking for is Source Control. There are many different systems out there depending on your needs. See subversion, git, or mercurial to name a few.

If you're using Visual Studio and you want to use Subversion, I personally use AnkhSVN. There are many different plug-ins out there for this, so have a look and figure out what you want.

Note: You're kind of giving conflicting tags there. C# is ASP.Net. Asp classic is written (usually) in VB Script.
