Just wondering the process to change the account running a TFS Build. TFS was installed with the local network service account and needs to be changed to a domain account. ...
Clearly there's something different in the setup of my Team Explorer compared to my desk mates. In my source exlorer the Local Path label is a hyperlink that opens an Explorer windows at that location (very handy!) But such is not the case for my deskmates.... I wonder what I have different from them? ...
In SQL Server Management Studio Express 2008 options, under source control the only available options "out of the box" are Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, and... (wait for it) ...Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (internet). Since I do have VSTS 2008 installed, with the TFS client of course, I find it odd that SSMS Express doesn't include suppor...
Anyone who is familiar w/MS devDiv team's use around TFS. http://blogs.msdn.com/jeffbe/archive/2008/04/20/how-devdiv-uses-tfs.aspx I am looking for a process template they used around work item item template in valuepoposition/experiences/features. let me know if you know any location I can download their work item template. ...
Is there any utility that works with either Subversion or (preferably) Team Foundation Server's source control system that shows a visual representation of the source tree? e.g. it shows branches (with labels) splitting off, merging back in and so on. ...
I installed WSS 3.0 and pointed my TFS2005SP1 installation at it. I am planning my TFS 2008 upgrade. Everything I've read mentions migrating to WSS3.0 after the TFS upgrade. Are there any gotchas I need to be aware of related to the WSS upgrade already having been performed? ...
Right now I have some major code changes that won't be done in time for an upcoming release and need to be shelved. Is there a good way to get these changes out of my workspace but be able to return to them later? Maybe I am missing something, but looks like the changes stay in your workspace even when they are shelved. Is there a bet...
I'm trying to implement a software process using MSF for CMMI to govern all software pojects in my company using TFS. Is there a reference example you are aware of for a company that went into the same excercise of managing requirements using VSTS along with a 3rd party tool, implement configuration management and change management, defi...
Database edition seems appealing but does anyone have any experience with it and how effective it is and how easy to manage? Does it work well for you in terms of source control of schemas, sql procs, concurrently? Is it worth it? ...
While (in some ways) it would be nice to use Team Foundation Server as a source repository and work item tracker (as well as all of its other great features), TFS is a fairly costly beast (esp. for a single developer). Does any one know of any freeware / cheap Work Item Tracking tools out there? It would be great to get something to in...
I have a workspace that is lost forever. I have some files checked out from this workspace. I want to unlock them but I can't. I tried to do: TF UNDO $/MyProject/MyFolder/MyFile.cs /WORKSPACE:LOST;user /s:http://mysite:8080 But I got this message: The workspace LOST;user is not on this computer. Run get (get all if edits were...
Currently the msbuild logs for team build are appalling as they are just plain text and are very difficult to read. Also the ones created by my build are approx 30Mb and take quite a while to download (our TFS server is in our datacentre). Does anyone know any way of being able to view these logs easier, prefereably integrated with eith...
Ok, here is something that has caused some friction at my current job and I really didn't expect it to. Organized in house software development is a new concept here and I have drawn up a first draft of some coding guidelines. I have proposed that "commented out" code should never be checked into the repository. The reason I have stated...
This is my first at doing any sort of builds period. Unfortunately we're using TFS 2008 (I like Subversion better overall in its use because it is just as powerful and simpler to use as most good developers are quite aware of). But anyway, how can you test a build when you only have a dev server and no staging server? I want to test t...
I have two Visual Studio database projects. Both build fine on my local dev environment. On the TFS build server, with a TFS build solution containing both projcets, one builds fine and the other fails with this error: Task "SqlBuildTask" Creating a model to represent the project... C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v9.0...
I've moved a folder in tfs using the "move" command but now I cannot create branches off the moved folder based on date or label (label was created when source was in the old folder). I can however create a branch based on "latest version". I get an error message "no items match in if I try to branch of a label. I'm guessing the lab...
Hi, I want to delete a workspace from another user different than mine How can I do this? If I use Visual Studio 2008 integration, I can only manage my own workspaces, but I cant see other users workspaces. I guess that one option should be connecting to the server with a different user in visual studio, but I cant find that option. Visu...
So we have Team Foundation Server running in replacement of our old SourceSafe for about a couple of months now and I've just had the first serious fallout. Just the same what was regularly happening all the time with the SourceSafe. I check in a file, its content arrives only partially into repository. The rest is got lost on the way. ...
We use Team Foundation Server and have numerous ASP.NET Web Application Projects. Each of the Web Apps uses a custom content management system that we've developed in house. The CMS is itself, an ASP.NET web app. When deployed, the CMS resides in a subdirectory, such as "/Admin". The CMS is comprised of .aspx and ascx files, and the ...
I can't seem to find an easy way of doing this. We have a trunk, which has a particular set of Changesets checked into a Work Item in TFS. I want to exclusively merge the changesets in this Work Item into another branch. Surely this can't be difficult? ...
