Adding TortoiseSVN Context menus to Visual Studio Express

Question

I am currently using Visual Studio Express for C# development and need to integrate Tortoise SVN to the same as context menus for External tools.

I need the following commands to be shown there.

Update to latest version
Commit
Cleanup
Merge
View History

Can this be accomplished?.

PS: Don't ask me to use Visual Studio Community, I am stuck with Express for now.

Edit: I already know how to add context menus to Visual studio express, here is the SO link for the same.

Add an Item to the visual studio folder right-click menu within AddIn

Am just unclear on the actual SVN commands.

Edit: I found the solution for the same and have pasted that as the answer, thanks to @Patrick for the guidance.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/9814d200(v=vs.100).aspx describes how to add external tools to VS 2010. Maybe it helps. — Sebastian Richter, Aug 31 '17 at 09:44
@SebastianRichter please try to link to english content instead of german. — Pablo Recalde, Aug 31 '17 at 09:46
@SebastianRichter yes you can, just substitute de-de in the URL by en-us *en-us or en-gb I guess — Pablo Recalde, Aug 31 '17 at 09:51
I think I need to edit my question a bit, I know how to add the context menus, I am unclear on the SVN commands. The site below gives detailed examples on how that is to be done. http://nickmeldrum.com/blog/how-to-run-powershell-scripts-from-solution-explorer-in-visual-studio-2010 — Krishnan Venkiteswaran, Aug 31 '17 at 09:59

Thanks to @Patrick and also to this blog which shows up for a few seconds

It is entirely possible to add TortoiseSVN commands as external tools and I have done just that using the values for each of the parameters needed for the External Tools dialogue, hopefully this will help others as well.

These resources should give you all the pieces to do this:

It's a matter of creating context menus (which you say you know how to do), and passing the right parameters to Tortoise.
