Hello, i am a programmer that has mostly worked with visual studio and i would like to get involved in octave development.
Since i saw the vs installer i am curios, can i get the source code with the .sln file?

Or if not can i  please be told how i can convert the makefile from mercurial to a .sln file?

There's no such thing as a .sln file for octave. Even when using Visual Studio, the build is executed by using the autotools suite, but by using home-made wrappers that make VS tools to look like GNU tools. Everything is available in MXE repo [1]
