Is Team System a solution?

I am working on a web portal in ASP.NET (VS2008) with my 2 friends. 开发者_开发知识库We want to code, debug, test our webportal on different machines simultaneously.

How it can be done? Is VS2008 Team System a solution for this?

To code, test and debug on any number of machines simultaneously you would need a respective number of copies of Visual Studio, regardless of the version.

What you're definitely need is some kind of source code control system. It can be MS-based, like Team Foundation Server, or something older like SourceSafe (known as being very buggy) or any other system. Subversionhas many clients (TortoiseSVN, for example) that can integrate with Windows Shell. You can consider a third party plugin like VisualSVN that will integrate with Visual Studio.

I don't think in the case of 2 machines only Team System will be a good idea, especially with the overhead and required software and licensing, the better solution in my opinion is using SVN on a server machine with Apache server & tortoise SVN client on the dev boxes which is a Shell extension to Windows Explorer and very robust and can be accessed in a small network or externally, and you can even host your code on Google Code.

Yes it is. Just be sure you use HTTPS/SSL over the Internet: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa395265.aspx
