Although Tortoise CVS is a very slick piece of software, developers may want to connect to CVS from within a Development Environment such as Visual Studio, Dreamweaver, Eclipse, etc. Below is a list of some popular Development Environments and links to tutorials on getting CVS integrated into them. If your Development Environment isn't listed, do a search on Google. Chances are that someone has found a way to get CVS integrated.

    Conclusion

    During this tutorial, we've covered the basic usage and installation of CVSNT and Tortoise CVS. There are, however, many other features and methods of using CVS, especially if you plan to use CVS to manage a software application.
