INSTALLATION

1.1 Download latest svn and tortoise files from link above
1.2 Install Setup-Subversion-1.6.6.msi
1.3 Install TortoiseSVN-1.6.5.16974-x64-svn-1.6.5.msi (choose either x86 or x64 version)


REPOSITORY SETUP

2.1 Create folder for the repository on the server e.g D:\SVN\Repository

2.2 Navigate to D:\SVN\Repository, right click and select
'Create Repository here'

2.3 Choose FSFS filesystem

2.4 Create skeleton project structure somewhere: (where trunk is for
the main code, tags and branches for advanced stuff if used in the
future)

svn://localhost
+---PROJECT1
|   +---branches
|   +---tags
|   \---trunk
\---PROJECT2
   +---branches
   +---tags
   \---trunk

2.5 Right click folder Root, select 'Import' and navigate to
file:///D:/SVN/Repository


CREATE SVN SERVICE

3.1 Setup svnserve as Windows service using the following command (note space before auto after start=):
sc create svnserve binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\Subversion\bin\svnserve.exe --service --root D:\SVN\Repository" DisplayName= "Subversion Repository" depend= Tcpip start= auto
(logon as Local System)

3.2 Start the service and set to auto start

3.3 Add users and passwords to D:\SVN\Repository\conf\passwd file
   e.g. [users]
        username1 = password

3.4 Set authorisation settings by editing D:\SVN\Repository\conf\authz
   e.g. anon-access = none
        auth-access = write
        password-db = passwd


FIREWALL
Create rules names Subversion for port 3690, inbound & outbound, private network to allow access from other machines on the network.


GET IT WORKING ON A CLIENT MACHINE

4.1 On your machine, create a working code folder for a project, say
D:\CODE\PROJECT1

4.2 Checkout the trunk for that project by right clicking, selecting
'SVN Checkout', then navigating to
svn:///machinename/PROJECT1/trunk

Thats about it.

String Formatting in C#

See these great references:

http://blog.stevex.net/string-formatting-in-csharp/

http://blog.stevex.net/2007/09/string-formatting-faq/

Numbers

Basic number formatting specifiers:

Specifier	Type	Format	Output (Passed Double 1.42)	Output (Passed Int -12400)
c	Currency	{0:c}	$1.42	-$12,400
d	Decimal (Whole number)	{0:d}	System.FormatException	-12400
e	Scientific	{0:e}	1.420000e+000	-1.240000e+004
f	Fixed point	{0:f}	1.42	-12400.00
g	General	{0:g}	1.42	-12400
n	Number with commas for thousands	{0:n}	1.42	-12,400
r	Round trippable	{0:r}	1.42	System.FormatException
x	Hexadecimal	{0:x4}	System.FormatException	cf90

Custom number formatting:

Specifier	Type	Example	Output (Passed Double 1500.42)	Note
0	Zero placeholder	{0:00.0000}	1500.4200	Pads with zeroes.
#	Digit placeholder	{0:(#).##}	(1500).42
.	Decimal point	{0:0.0}	1500.4
,	Thousand separator	{0:0,0}	1,500	Must be between two zeroes.
,.	Number scaling	{0:0,.}	2	Comma adjacent to Period scales by 1000.
%	Percent	{0:0%}	150042%	Multiplies by 100, adds % sign.
e	Exponent placeholder	{0:00e+0}	15e+2	Many exponent formats available.
;	Group separator	see below

Dates

Note that date formatting is especially dependant on the system’s regional settings.

Specifier	Type	Example (Passed System.DateTime.Now)
d	Short date	10/12/2002
D	Long date	December 10, 2002
t	Short time	10:11 PM
T	Long time	10:11:29 PM
f	Full date & time	December 10, 2002 10:11 PM
F	Full date & time (long)	December 10, 2002 10:11:29 PM
g	Default date & time	10/12/2002 10:11 PM
G	Default date & time (long)	10/12/2002 10:11:29 PM
M	Month day pattern	December 10
r	RFC1123 date string	Tue, 10 Dec 2002 22:11:29 GMT
s	Sortable date string	2002-12-10T22:11:29
u	Universal sortable, local time	2002-12-10 22:13:50Z
U	Universal sortable, GMT	December 11, 2002 3:13:50 AM
Y	Year month pattern	December, 2002

The ‘U’ specifier seems broken; that string certainly isn’t sortable.

Custom date formatting:

Specifier	Type	Example	Example Output
dd	Day	{0:dd}	10
ddd	Day name	{0:ddd}	Tue
dddd	Full day name	{0:dddd}	Tuesday
f, ff, …	Second fractions	{0:fff}	932
gg, …	Era	{0:gg}	A.D.
hh	2 digit hour	{0:hh}	10
HH	2 digit hour, 24hr format	{0:HH}	22
mm	Minute 00-59	{0:mm}	38
MM	Month 01-12	{0:MM}	12
MMM	Month abbreviation	{0:MMM}	Dec
MMMM	Full month name	{0:MMMM}	December
ss	Seconds 00-59	{0:ss}	46
tt	AM or PM	{0:tt}	PM
yy	Year, 2 digits	{0:yy}	02
yyyy	Year	{0:yyyy}	2002
zz	Timezone offset, 2 digits	{0:zz}	-05
zzz	Full timezone offset	{0:zzz}	-05:00
:	Separator	{0:hh:mm:ss}	10:43:20
/	Separator	{0:dd/MM/yyyy}	10/12/2002
