So, I have an asp.net mvc app that is being worked on by multiple developers in differing capacities. This is our first time working on a mvc app and my first time working with .NET. Our app does not have a lot of unit tests in it…

The problem we are having is trying to keep each other from overwriting each others changes. For example:

  1. Two developers are both working on the app and Jon (not his real name) makes a change to a controller, compiles a new dll, and checks in his stuff (both the controller and the dll.) Our svn system automatically updates our DEV server with the changes that Jon just made.

  2. Clyde (also not a real name) also makes a change right about the same time but did not update the code with Jon’s change and commits a new dll thereby “forgetting” about Jon’s change.

This happens a lot. The question I’m asking is more of a workflow question – how do we solve this issue? Is it just a matter of Clyde needing to be more careful? Can anybody recommend a decent process for us to use?

    You don’t check in the DLL’s. Exclude the bin folder from Subversion in its entirety. It’s the .cs files that matter and that will be compiled locally on every computer that checks out the code from Subversion. If your deployment script don’t compile the code but is just a simple xcopy statement, you need to either introduce csc to the script or implement a continuous integration system like TeamCity.
