I am setting up a new TFS 2008 Server that we are going to migrate to (from VSS) and I am trying to layout the source control repository. Having read the question How do you organize your version control repository? I am trying to organise my folders in a similar way. I want to create a top level folder called 3rd Party Tools or simila...
I've been googling and can't find any solid examples how this is done, or if it even can be done. I assume it can. Can anyone point me in the right direction? So far I've been looking under the TFS namespace documentation on msdn. My goal is to be able to fully automate and track our builds in TFS from an intranet web application. ...
Has anybody experience using Git as an offline solution for Team Foundation Server? For Subversion you could use git-svn to keep a private repository with a svn backend. I tried to use SvnBridge and git-svn to work with TFS. At first it looked promising but Visual Studio recognizes the solution as being under TFS version control and in...
I'm noticing some solutions in Team Foundation Server 2008 won't build completely. As in, some number of the projects in the solution succeed but then one fails. The particular failing project says I’m missing an assembly reference. But I'm not - the project has the reference. It builds fine on my PC. I'm looking at the .csproj file that...
We are writing a custom tool using TFS client APIs, to connect to TFS, to fetch work items for a project etc. We are querying the work item store, using WIQL. Given the server path of a file, what is the easiest query to get the work items linked to this file from TFS? ...
We're using Visual Studio 2008/TFS 2008. We have a small team of developers and for some reason, periodically, when any of us "Get Latest," one of our paths remaps to a different path on it's own. This causes the "Get Latest" to start deleting files, because the path has changed. It's the same path every time that gets remapped to the w...
I installed TFS 2008 Workgroup Edition a while back, and everything was running fine. Recently I tried opening TFS to a couple of friends so that we can collaborate on a project. The Source Control portion is working correctly, but the Documents and Reports folders are not available (they have red crosses on them). When I looked at t...
Can people recommend an good free online Team Foundation Server repository? I found CodePlex but it's only for open source projects. ...
A call like this requires the server name or url: TeamFoundationServerFactory.GetServer("mytfsserver"); Likewise, I can use the following to get a list of available servers or server names: TeamFoundationServer[] servers = RegisteredServers.GetServers(); string[] serverNames = RegisteredServers.GetServerNames(); But how do I get th...
I have managed to install Team Foundation Server 2008 and I created a separate build server (which works because my builds are currently failing). I have created a simple "Hello World" Web application (all is the standard Default.aspx page) and have it in TFS's source control system. Previously, prior to TFS, I'd simply precompile my ...
I'm trying to install Team Foundation Server & need to get SQL Analysis service running but it wouldnt start. This analysis service belongs to a named instance (TFS). Gives me the following message - The SQL Server Analysis Service (TFS) service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are no...
I'm using TFS and I'd like to be able to get all files that have label XYZ. The only way that I can see to do this is to do "Get Specific Version", Label, Browse the label, pick a file, hit Get. Repeat for every file. If I have 20 files to get then this will be tedious and error prone. Doing a get on the label name at a root level of the...
My company are imposing Jira and Zephyr on us for defect tracking and test management. We're quite happily using TFS 2008 for both these jobs at the moment, but management have never let the fact that something isn't broken stop them from trying to fix it. Are there any tools/plug-ins that will allow us to synchronise between the remote...
Hi I am trying to get some information out of TFS. Specifically, for a given user, I would like to get a listing of all changesets with their date and all changed items (bonus points for inline diff). This listing will be used to run a diff for all modified files. Something along the lines of: tf history /user:USERNAME // pump change...
Is there a chance to delete Work Item from TFS, or all I can do is just to rename it. Update: This question was for TFS 2008. New version (2010) have out of the box solution as Rob Cannon suggested ...
Just a quicky anyone point me to any articles on getting TFS on w2k3 x64 working or if it's possible as it appears not to be =< ...
I'm currently transfering some source code from a Subversion (SVN) repository to my client's Team Foundation Server. One of the things I stumbled upon is that there seems to be no way to edit the repository without first pulling all files in that repository to a local working folder in the local workspace. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Te...
I have this Visual Studio solution that includes a project that has a template folder tree consisting of several empty folders. When I add this solution to Team Foundation Server (TFS) using the "Source Control -> Add Solution to Source Control" menu item it doesn't add the empty folders to the TFS repository! I really need those folder ...
I'm trying to add the following folder tree to TFS: C:\TFS\folder1 C:\TFS\folder1\folder2 C:\TFS\folder1\folder2\folder3 C:\TFS\folder1\folder2\folder3\test.txt In the above example the folder "C:\TFS" is a mapped TFS working folder. I issue the following commands from the console: cd C:\TFS tf add folder1 /recursive After this com...
