Creating new TFS 2010 project with VS 2008

Question

Is it true that there's no way for Visual Studio 2008 to create a new project on Team Foundation Server 2010?

I've managed to make VS2008 connect to my TFS2010 server (the team explorer + sp1 + forward compatibility thing), and yeap, I can see my TFS2010 collections from the VS2008 UI itself.

Problem is, I can't seem to find a way to create a new team project on the TFS2010 server through the VS2008 UI. Can't create from scratch, can't add existing projects to source.

If VS2008 really can't do this with TFS2010 (frustrating!!), what alternatives do I have? I'd hate to have to boot up VS2010 just to create new projects everytime.

(and yes, I somehow have my reasons why I'm still stuck on my VS2008 when I have a VS2010 install. sucks to be me. :( )

Thanks guys.

Answer 1

A little googling found this on MSDN:

As Team Explorer 2008 and Team Explorer 2005 are not aware of several Team Foundation Server 2010 features, administrative functionality has been limited to the Team Explorer 2010 client. For example, the administrator can only run the Project Creation Wizard from Team Explorer 2010 to add Team Project to Team Foundation Server 2010. Team Explorer 2010 client can also be used to administer the Team Foundation Server 2008 server

But you can down load Team Explorer its a stand alone TFS UI but it wont work if you have VS 2010 installed.
