AnkhSVN - Subversion Support for Visual Studio

I've started using AnkhSVN for Visual Studio 2010 on some of my hobby projects and have been quite happy with it. You'll still need base SVN to create and manage your repositories, but I'd recommend AnkhSVN!

You can download it here.

AnkSVN integrates nicely with Beyond Compare!

Entity Framework: How to log generated SQL in ASP.NET

If you want to log/view the generated T-SQL from your Entity Framework context instances to the output window in Visual Studio create a TextWriter derivation and use it like so:

using (MyEntityContext db = new MyEntityContext())
{
  db.Log = new OutputDebugWriter();
  ...
}

class OutputDebugWriter : System.IO.TextWriter
{
   public override void Write(char[] buffer, int index, int count)
   {
      System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(new string(buffer, index, count));
   }

   public override void Write(string value)
   {
      System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(value);
   }

   public override Encoding Encoding
   {
      get { return System.Text.Encoding.Default; }
   }
}
