Hi All We have migrated VS 2003 project from VSS to TFS recently.Installed the MSCCI provider to connect to TFS. The solution contains some web projects and set up projects.When I try to open the solution file from local folder,it opens up all the projects but doesnot show that the setup projects are binded into TFS.

There is this set of default build qualities: Initial Test Passed Lab Test Passed Ready for Deployment Ready for Initial Test Rejected Released UAT Passed Under Investigation I'm not really sure about the meaning of each entry. I lack experience in this area (and additionally, i'm not a native speaker). Is there an explanation of the...
Hi there, So I have a .NET app which goes thru and generates a series of files, outputs them to a local directory and then determines if it needs to update an existing file or add a new file into a TFS (Team Foundation Server) project. I have a single workspace on my local machine and there are 10 different working folders that are oth...
Anyone have information on hardening/configuring TFS for secure environments? ...
Hi We have a large solution with many projects. Some of the projects were outsourced, and the vendor used TFS. When they commited into our SVN repo, some of the bindings are still hanging around. When I open the sln, VS2008 says "The source control provider associated with the solution cannot be found, do you want to remove them". I hi...
I am trying to convert my shop from using VSS to TFS. Our current codebase consists of a large number of Visual Studio 2008 solutions and I've noticed some of them seem to cause MSBuild to fail, but I cannot figure out why. The actual solutions themselves and the projects they hold build correctly, but the overall build still fails. ...
I'm putting a large codebase into Team Foundation Server. I would like the build process to create a "ready to deploy" build of our projects. The normal way we've been doing this is to have each project's output be in its own folder. So, for example, we wind up with something like C:\project1\ assembly1.dll asse...
I don't want to download and install SP1 for Team Foundation server 2008 if I don't need to. But I'm not sure how to determine what version our server is currently running? ...
In our company there are many teams who constantly submit build request work items to us via TFS. I know that it's possible to trigger a build from a check-in or on a schedule, but this is not what we need. We would like for the team managers to be able to create a build request work item in TFS that, when saved, would queue a certain b...
In Team foundation server I use Iterations / Areas. However when I run queries and select Iteration path as a column it always contains the 'root' iteration i.e. the name of the project. Is there a way how to get rid of it? It takes so much space (I unwisely chose long project name) and adds no extra information. ...
How do I move my code and change history from one TFS server to another? ...
I am trying to force users to enter comments when checking code into TFS 2008. I found this post from Jeff Atwood explaining how to add a new policy enforcing this behavior, but the post is dated. Has this been added to TFS? Thanks ...
We have setup TFS to automatically build when we checkin, that works fine. Our problem is how do we get the unit tests to run on the server. How do we run tests on the build server? How do we automatically run SQL Scripts on the server to build the test database? Do we need to install Visual Studio on the Build Server? Do we need Visu...
The following is the case: I have a TFS2008 installation. on a machine named TFS1 the databases are located on: DB1. Since friday I'm not able to connect to the reports anymore. This happened to be the day that I changed my password. When I open the "reporting services configuration" I noticed that the TFS1 was not initialized. I'd man...
It seems that security setup is a bit of a nightmare with TFS --- particularily as it relates to TFS versus SharePoint versus Reporting Services. Does anybody know of a tool that can validate the security setup --- because as it stands now, people can't create projects, because something is wonky with SharePoint --- yet all the farm adm...
When I trying to access to list of my project from TFS, the error message as following prompting out TF31001: Team Foundation cannot retrieve the list of team projects from Team Foundation Server 10.0.80.50. The Team Foundation Server returned the following error: Error creating the Web Proxy specified in the 'system.net/defaultProxy' c...
Hi. I got an xml file with test results. I tried to add the results to Visual Studio 2008. I did almost everything right except getting the project name which i can't extract from the .xml file to the .trx file The question is what is the correct format of the .trx file so it will show me the project name. ...
Hi, We've started using TFS at work, and I'm migrating my bugs from the previous issue tracking software to TFS. All of them are written in Hebrew, a right-to-left language, but mixed with English words. All the text fields in the TFS client are left-to-right, so I have to manually go and press Ctrl-Right-Shift in all the fields in ord...
I use Chinese in my comments and configs. And after I auto merge and check in source files, they become messy codes. I guess the reason is TFS merge them by UTF-8 encoding but my VS.NET is using gb2312 encoding. I know I can get and change each file from menu [file->advance save option] Can't I set VS.NET 2005 always create and save C# ...
Does TFS support an Edit/Merge/Checkin model? It looks like we have to explicitly check out files with the source code explorer to get the readonly bit switched off. I'm use to files being write enabled, and just having to do a merge before checkin. Is that model supported? ...
