How to configure Visual Studio to use different source control providers

In order to automatically load a proper source control provider the solution file must contain Scc bindings.

I don’t know if VisualHG supports them or not.

But you can try HgSccPackage – another mercurial plugin for MS Visual Studio 2008/2010 which supports Scc bindings.

You can get it here: http://www.newsupaplex.pp.ru/hgscc_news_eng.html

If you want to add Scc bindings to an existing controlled solution, use Mercurial -> Change SCC bindings menu from the IDE. (This menu will be available when the HgSccPackage is active and you have loaded a controlled solution).

For new projects HgSccPackage automatically adds Scc bindings. It is configurable via options though, for thouse who don’t like this behavior.
