Version Control noob alert

I’ve already installed both Mercurial, TortoiseHg and VisualHG into Visual Studio 2010. I’ve set in Visual Studio my source control to Mercurial.

When I right click on my solution, I already see HG’s buttons in the context menu that appears there.

My question now is, how do I make this version control thing work? It seems I’ll have to make some kind of configuration before, as it tells me “Solution is not under Mercurial version control” when I click in “HG Status”.

Thanks

    Not sure how to do this within Visual Studio but it is easy to do from the command line. Just
    exit VS and go to a command prompt at the root folder of the project(s) you want to put under source control and type “hg init”. Then load the solution and verify that hg is the selected source code provider.
