I've tried to access OpenBVE source code by means of Visual C# 2008 Express edition and couldn't do it, as it seems not to be compatible with C# 2005.
Which software to manage OpenBVE source code? The best way of testing ideas is simply doing it, but without a management tool/compiler this is impossible. I can't understand why Visual C# 2008 can't open files produced by Visual C# 2005. And the bad news is that I can't find this older editor.
Any help available?

I think Michelle uses the open source Sharp Devel as an IDE (Integrated Development Environment/Editor/Debug frontend). ...although I could be talking nonsense.

Source Code Management normally refers to revision control systems (RCS), so I'll try to answer that specifically. I personally use Git to view/diff and keep track of the various experimental, upstream and packaged versions of the OpenBve codebase; then Emacs for editing and Mono for the C# compiler and runtime.

If you were actually asking about a SCM/RCS to analysis the OpenBve codebase, then I do my best to import Michelle's releases into Git as they come out; you can see them here:

• http://github.com/sladen/openbve/commits/master/

at which points you can eg. "git diff upstream/1.2.0.2 upstream/1.2.0.3" to find out what changed.

Does that answer your question? If not, can you be a bit more specific... source code is just text files and so should be viewable in any normal text-editor.

She uses SharpDevelop 3.0.
