Consider these 2 machines: #1: Full SQL Server 2008 without Team Explorer (test SQL box) #2: Development box with Visual Studio 2008 SP1 with Team Explorer I use Team Foundation Server 2008 and would like to check SSIS projects into source control. Do I need to install BIDS as a separate Visual Studio 2008 shell in my machine #2? I ...
A colleague has installed VS2008 Team Explorer (as part of his role in Scrum) and can successfully use Work Items, Documents and Reports. I now want him to use the TFS Source Control for non-code files (documents etc). He can successfully open Source Control Explorer but everything is greyed out as nothing has been mapped locally. Unfort...
Does anybody know if the Visual Studio Team System/Explorer has a way of doing the equivalent of SVN's svn:external? I don't need it to reference a location outside of the Team Project, just locally in the project. Given the following example source code directory structure: \root \tags \ModuleA ...
Is it possible to hide disabled builds in Team Explorer in Visual Studio? I don't want to see these anymore. ...
Hey guys. I think the title is very clear, but also i want to say why: I already downloaded TFS 2010 and Team explorer 2010, but i'm still using VS2008 (with no short-time plans to change) My question, can i use those toghether? Also, my VS is just the professional version. I don't want to download the TE2008 because for my internet cone...
Previously my installation of Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 wre both opening WIQ files correctly - connecting to TFS and wunning the TFS Query. Now both are opening the WIQ file as plain XML. Of course, I could reinstall Visual Studio to fix the problem. But I am looking for tips toward a faster work-around. Has someone enc...
Hi, I have a big issue with Team Explorer 2008. I am using it with Visual Studio 2008 Standard. Today I opened a Solution and it prompted me that VS will go into offline mode - for no apparent reason, I didn't change anything since I worked on this solution the last time and Sourcecontrol worked just fine. Now, when I try to manually...
Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch to Team Explorer? For example, to switch to Solution Explorer it's CTRL+ALT+L. But I cannot find one for Team Explorer. Oi!? ...
Hi, I have installed StyleCop CheckIn policy (from here) and it works great. However I have written some custom rules which I want to be enforced as part of the CheckIn policy (Visual Studio 2008, Team Explorer 2008, TFS 2005). The custom rules appear fine in the settings file when I right click on a project and click "StyleCop Setti...
Is there any way to get the work item query results preview pane to auto-size its width? It is very often "too wide", with the controls being way too wide for their content. Here's an example--why do I have to have horizontal scrolling? Is there any way to fix this? (When one opens a single work item, the width is streched appropri...
We are using "Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Explorer Version 9.0.21022.8" Whenever i open the solution, try to build or try to get latest team explorer automatically checks out the solution. When i try to check-in displays that files are identical and check-in undone by server. what is the reason of this behaviour? ...
I'm looking at the MSDN subscription comparison (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/subscriptionschart.aspx) and am a bit confused. Regarding VS2010 Premium and Ultimate: what is the difference between the two? Both offer TFS but only Ultimate comes with Team Explorer. Can you use TFS without Team Explorer? ...
I need to disable check-in operation for several projects in my solution. I need it to ensure myself from uploading changes to projects which I don't want to change. Is it possible with Team Explorer? ...
I can't find any comparisons online, and I'm not familiar with any major source control providers except for VSS/TFS. Does the usage of the new Team Foundation 2010 Command-line Client (Team Explorer Everywhere cross-platform command line) resemble any other major systems? What I mean is - do the switches you'd use to run it resemble Su...
I know VS 2010 Pro/Premium/Ultimate include TFS connectivity, does VS 2010 Express? ...
I'm starting Macintosh development and I'm in a Microsoft shop where we're using Team Foundation Server. I've learned that there's no explicit/official TFS client for any non-Windows platform, and that the best option is to use Team Explorer Everywhere, formerly Teamprise (Microsoft bought them and rebranded it) and either the command-l...
I am attempting to write a Visual Studio 2010 add-in for Team Explorer that adds a root node, just underneath each project. This root node should not have any children, and no context menu, just a double-click action. I have used the samples provided here to create a folder node, with leaf nodes underneath. The leaf nodes I can make do a...
This is with VS and TFS 2010. I have multiple TFS servers and multiple collections. When I launch VS, it connects to the "last used" collection. If I had multiple instances of VS open, connected to different collections, whichever exits last appears to "win" as the last used collection. This is annoying. Really what I want is multiple d...
I would like to know if there's a way to move a project in one Team Foundation Server source control to a different source control on a separate Team Foundation Server? I don't want to have to copy the files to a different folder and map that folder to the new TFS server. I've tried removing the bindings and unmapping the local source ...
We use Team Foundation 2008, but we now have Macintosh machines on our network. We use Team Explorer 2008 on our Windows machines, but I can't find an installation for TE 2008 for the Macintosh. Is it advisable to install Team Explorer 2010 on the Macintosh connecting to the TFS 2008? ...
