Most developers are working in Main, but for my speci...

How do you see the changes for a version in TFS?

I'm trying to migrate to TFS from VSS and I need to be able to show what files were checked in between two releases. In VSS we would just label the code for a release and view history between labels and generate a report to show the checkins and the comments. Is there a way to get similar results with TFS?

For TFS 2008 Team Build, how do I change where $Temp points to?

We have recently built a new TFS 2008 Team Build server. I don't want users putting their builds in the default temp directory that is pointed to by $Temp for the Build Agent, but I also don't want to force developers to change the path to somewhere else - this runs the risk of developers either (a) not bothering, or (b) making paths tha...

Should multiple projects have multiple TFS workspaces?

Hi there, We migrated from VSS to TFS about 6 months ago. Our way of storing projects was that we grouped them by category (Windows App, Web App, Infopath, SQLScripts, deprecated). Under the 'Windows App' workspace we might have 3 .NET projects. The 'Web App' might have 3, etc, etc. VSS was used more just to store the code repository ...

How do you schedule a TFS 2008 build to run every hour?

"New Build Definition" in Team Explorer doesn't allow you to force a build to run more frequently than once every 24 hours. Is this possible? I want the tests to run every hour regardless of whether any changes have been checked in. I think this is possible by creating a scheduled task but I'd rather keep the solution in TFS if possibl...
