All the code for the West Wind Web Toolkit is constantly updated and the latest version is always accessible in our Subversion source code repository at:

http://www.west-wind.com:8080/svn/WestwindWebToolkit/trunk/

Please be aware that code between releases may be in flux, but it's a great way for you to receive fixes and updates to issues you might have reported that have been addressed between releases.

Patches

We appreciate your participation and encourage you to get involved. Chances are if you're using the toolkit you find things to improve or tweak or - horror - fix. If you find problems with code and make custom changes that you think might be useful you can also create a patch. You can send patches to support @ west-wind.com along with a description and we'll certainly consider integrating them into the toolkit.

For patches the more granular the better is usually the key, so try as much as possible to isolate any changes you make.

How do I access a Subversion Repository

Subversion is a source code control system that is easily hosted online and allows sharing of code. If you are brand new to Subversion and .NET development the following article might be good introduction (covers both setting up and hosting as well as accessing Subversion):

TortoiseSVN
If you just want to download and keep in sync with the repository the easiest and free way is to use TortoiseSVN which is an Explorer shell extension that allows creating, accessing and updating of repository data easily and visually through Explorer (or Explorer replacement).

To download the Web Toolkit with TortoiseSVN simply choose Checkout, point at the repository path above, and choose a target directory on your local machine, and it will retrieve the entire project for you.

VisualSVN for Visual Studio
VisualSVN offers a nice clean and non-SCC based add-in for Visual Studio that leverages TortoiseSVN inside of Visual Studio. You get a similar UI as Tortoise SVN and the smarts that knows about Visual Studio specific files that should be ignored or handled as a group (ie. adding an ASPX file will add the related source and designer files as well). VisualSVN is not free, but in our book totally worth the small registration fee.

AnkhSVN
Ankh is another Visual Studio add-in that was idle for some time but has seem more development recently. Ankh uses the Visual Studio SCC provider to integrate with Visual Studio.

Both tools work well and simplify the process of dealing with Visual Studio specific projects inside of the Visual Studio shell.
