Does anyone have any good suggestions for working with teams in which some members do not use Visual Studio? What are other people doing?
These are common questions, but my specific situation is to develop ASP.NET MVC applications using Visual Studio 2008 and SVN for version control.
In our office we have small teams. Usually we have one or more developers using Visual Studio and one graphic / html / css constructor using Mac without Visual Studio.
This has a couple of problems.
Firstly, without a visual studio, Desinger cannot easily see its changes. Designers forced us to use the technique that they used on the PHP side of our office. We use the build server so that developers check their changes and then view them in the web browser specified on our build server. Not quite what they want? They make the setting and check it again.
Secondly, whenever I deploy a project for production, I always either publish or use a web deployment project. The problem is that if a designer adds a file to the project file structure, it is not automatically added to the Visual Studio project file. Therefore, someone should go through all the folders and look for files that are not in the project to make sure that everything is included. After adding the file, the developer can change the file without problems, if not delete it, because of which heartburn for Visual Studio.
Other people should have the same problems. How do they deal with them?
We can get our designers to use Visual Studio, but it really is not very suitable for their workflow.
