Currently we are using SharePoint for project tracking. We are looking at using TFS for this, but we are annoyed that TFS and SharePoint don't play well together. For example, you don't get the nice document versioning in TFS that you get from SharePoint. What's your opinion of TFS Project Tracking? Have you found it useful enough to ju...
Our application uses a combination of ASP.NET and Flex platforms. I am able to successfully use the build service to build and deploy the .NET web site. That works fine. However, we also have our ActionScript files in TFS and I've created a batch file to successfully compile the ActionScript from the command-line. I want to create two ...
In visual studio 2008, I want to rename a folder due to a typo in the name. I rename it in the solution structure. The folder and .CSProj files are now checked out, and I check in. TFS comes back with "Microsoft Visual studio cannot perform the source control operation at this time because some of the files involved in the operation are...
We are using TFSDeployer to listen to build quality changes and deploy to our staging environment when it transitions to "Staging". I'd like to have it go ahead and update all of the other builds that have a currently build quality of "Staging" to be "Rejected". This appears to be something that needs to happen inside the PowerShell sc...
Whenever a web request is made by Visual Studio to TFS, Fiddler will show a 401 Unauthorized error. Visual Studio will then try again with a proper Authorization Negotiate header in place with which TFS will respond with the proper data and a 200 status code. How can I get the correct headers to be sent the first time to stop the 401? ...

If you are using TFS 2005 or 2008, how do you user iterations and areas? Do you create an area for specific parts of the application you are building? Here is an interesting article on areas and how the TeamSystem team uses them: http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlee/archive/2006/08/09/when-to-use-team-projects.aspx But, i'm even more curiou...
I trying to subscribe to the "build complete" event of TeamFoundation like it's described in this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc507647.aspx. And I'm failing to get anything from team system. Can anyone point to some potential problem areas I need to check? ...
I'm confused. I have TFS installed on my development server, which also doubles as the build machine. The builds work fine when I check-in code, but when the build attempts to run the tests I get an error: MSBUILD : warning MSB6004: The specified task executable location "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest....
Is it possible to set the Default Value in a Transition Rule Field, to be a Variable such as @Today + 7. I basically want a date field to have a default value of today's date + 7 days. Is this possible? Thanks ...
I am trying to set up a common.targets file with some common msbuild targets I want to use in my team builds and therefore import into my TFSBuild.proj files. I am wondering what is the best way to achieve this? Do I need to store common.targets right next to each TFSBuild.proj file and therefore having duplicates of the targets file for...
Of course, it is pretty possible to create work items, get a list of work items etc in TFS. In addition to this, we need to have the functionality of allowing our users to create their own work item templates, for various file types. Whether the TFS Client APIs are capable of uploading work item templates to TFS server? ...
We're using TFS for source control and are trialling using the TFS work item tracking. I am trying to find out, is it possible for people who don't have visual studio installed to access, create and edit work items via a browser based user interface? Our technical support team need to be able to use work items. TFS work items won't be s...
Our environment uses the ODP.Net oracle database driver. So logically we are using Oracle on the backend. We have files that include scripts of our stored procedures in TFS. My oracle developer would like to deprecate a file to keep other oracle developers from using it in the future but also of course he would like to keep it in sourc...
We've recently starting using TFS. Currently just for source control. We're considering using work items instead of our current bug tracking system. I've heard that the work flow is customizable and would like to have a go at it. A small example is that sometimes while working a bug, someone may decide that the product documentation ne...
I have 3 build scripts that create separate components of a distributed suite of applications. They are stored in a folder structure like the following: LegacyComponents - VB6 code that is "live" but in the process of being replaced NewComponents - Rewritten components in C# Database TeamBuildTypes └ LegacyBuild └ NewBuild └ DatabaseB...

Is there some way to access the value of a msbuild property from a custom task? I know I can send them all in, but it would be nice not to :) Trying to do this from a tfs build. Or is there som way to access the "build script" currently running? Maybe like an object model and from there get what I need? ...
We're considering switching over to use TFS and the TFS Portal which is based on SharePoint. We've got existing information in various systems and it would be very advantageous if we could consolidate this information into the TFS Portal. I'm wondering are there any tools/methods for importing data into TFS. Things I'm interested in imp...
