We're switching over to Team Foundation for our version control, and I have to learn it and set it up. Our IT guy did the installation of the both the data tier and the app tier, and he is of course convinced that it's right. However when i log in as tfssetup and try to create a new project, i get the error: Error Insufficient permis...
In our msbuild script we can run unit tests without using the vsmdi file: We would like to enforce tests to be run on check in. The "Testing policy" seems to require a .vsmdi file. Is there a way to do this without one? ...
Let’s say you have four products each with their own release schedule. Each product has 50% shared code (common functionality across all products) and 50% product specific code. Do you need a separate source control branch for each product? Should common functionalities always be developed in one of the four product branches and merged ...
I am preparing to move my team's source control from VSS over to TFS 2008. This is for an asp.net website, and I am currently using a combination of nant scripts and Cruise Control to do all of the builds and deployments. I've been trying to wrap my head around the best way to architect TFS build to do the same thing I'm doing with NA...
Is there a fairly inexpensive source control product on the market that integrates into Visual Studio 2008+ and that has the power and capabilities of Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation? I have used Dynamsoft, SourceGear, Subversion and Platic SCM and reckon that neither of these products can come close to Team Foundation. I ideally w...
So far, I've been using TFS only as task management, but never as an time report nor ticketing system. I've been using third party software for each. I want to use more out of TFS if possible to include these reports too. Is TFS able to handle ticketing system good? And what about time reports? What templates can I use for these repor...

We have an interesting situation. Our build server seems to want to go back to previously closed work items and update the Integration Build field. I understand the build server setting it the first time. I could even understand it updating that field in the event that the first build didn't complete successfully. However, I can'...
When I try to create a Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.TeamFoundationServer object in the HomeController of my MVC application, I receive the following error: TF30076: The server name {TfsServerName} provided does not correspond to a server URI that can be found. Confirm that the server name is correct. I am using Windows Aut...
Hi, I am new to TFS and have been having issues with setting it up to be accessible on the internet. I have set up TFS 2008 with SSL(HTTPS) on ports 8081, 81, and 17013 etc... for the respective services, on a single server deployment, with basic authentication, with server exposed as a DMZ by my router. How can I access the TFS serve...
I am new to Team Foundation Server and I'm trying to connect to a project programmatically using c#. I have the following block of code ... string serverName = "http://tfs01:8080"; TeamFoundationServer tfs = new TeamFoundationServer(serverName); VersionControlServer version = (VersionControlServer)tfs.GetService(typeof (VersionControlSe...
Is there a way using TFS (Microsoft Team Foundation Server) to configure a folder for a project so that it allow the adding of files with just a specific extension to a project? The scenario is: I have a project with a standard folder structure for cs files, binaries and so on In a folder there are the SQL script used to build the dat...
I guess this question relates to any source control system, but I'm looking for answers that will work with Team Foundation. We're starting the work to migrate several of our projects into Foundation Server (getting them out of SourceSafe). As part of this work, we're trying to instill a bit more discipline with our branching. Thus far...
Both Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2005 and 2008 lose history (check-ins + comments) on files when they branched and merged back. So e.g. if changes in a branch are made then merged back to the root branch, none of the changes made in the branch are visible in the root branch. The only thing visible in the history states that a merge occu...
I'm using VS2008 SP1 and TFS 2008 for version control. The other day, I had a merge conflict in a .sln file when doing a Get-Latest. I resolved the conflict, and all appeared to be well. Now however, the VS2008 source control integration has gone wrong. What used to happen when editing a non-checked out file was that VS2008 would sile...
A colleague and I are working on the same area of code using Visual Studio 2008 and TFS 2005 on the server. When we both edit the same file concurrently and I check it in first, TFS does not recognise this when he either gets latest version or checks in, meaning his or my changes get overwritten without a painstaking manual merge. This...
Team explorer is a real pain to use for some simple tasks, and is very slow. I'd like another solution to access my TFS repository. I really like SvnBridge, but I cannot attach a TFS work item when I check-in with tortoise. Does somebody know some alternatives ? Update From what I've seen, the integration of TFS with the windows Explo...
So I finally was able to complete the installation of TFS and started the creation of my first team project which introduced me to the process template. After following to the link to Microsoft's site for process template information I was inundated with new information to consider. What templates have all of you had experience with tha...
I am having a problem with a folder and a file showing up under my project which is under my solution. The files are being added to TFS but my project has no idea that the file exists and shows it as white Dim tfs As TeamFoundationServer = TeamFoundationServerFactory.GetServer(txtServer.Text) ' Get a reference to Source Control. Dim v...
Environment: Windows Server 2008, IIS 7.0, TFS 2008 We run Google Apps for email and I'm having a heck of time setting up TFS to send alerts to our Google hosted mail. I googled around and found a couple of workarounds however none have worked for me. Any pointers graciously accepted. ...
