I'm trying to figure out how to download the latest source code.

Here's what I've done.

  1. On my desktop machine, I created my CodePlex app account, installed Tortoise SVN and successfully uploaded my code to the site. The source code now shows on the CodePlex site.

  2. On my laptop, I installed Tortoise SVN. I then created a blank folder and I'm now trying to download the code available on my CodePlex site.

I know my SVN url, and my user name and password.

I'm just lost as to how to do it. I try SVN Update, but it only downloads a couple of files, not the complete source code.

With Tortoise simply Right-Click in your Directory and do an "SVN Checkout.." This option is directly above your "Tortoise SVN" menu.
