Connect P4V (Perforce) to Visual Studio

This article will be a short one about connecting your perforce version control to your visual studio IDE.

First you will need to download the Helix core plugin for visual studio which you can grab from here.

Make sure to close down VS before installing the plugin. Then double click the plugin and let it install.

Open up VS and go to Tools -> Options -> Source Control and from the drop down choose PV4S.

Next step is to setup the connection. For this you will need your perforce server, username and workspace keys.

Then go to File -> Open Connection to a Helix Core server

Insert you PV4 connection keys and away you go.

You can now check out your files through VS.
