In Team Foundation Server, I know that you can use the "Annotate" feature to see who last edited each line in a particular file (equivalent to "Blame" in CVS). What I'd like to do is akin to running Annotate on every file in a project, and get a summary report of all the developers who have edited a file in the project, and how many line...
Our team is setting up nightly and continuous integration builds. We own Team Foundation Server and could use Team Foundation Build. I'm more familiar with CC.Net and lean that way but management sees all the money spent on TFS and wants to use it. Some things I like better about CC.Net is the flexibility of notifications as well as t...
I need to know how to turn on Code Coverage when running TFS builds on a solution with a .testrunconfig file. There is an option in the testrunconfig file that is for code coverage, but when running a TFS build there is no code coverage results. I am running my tests using the *Tests.dll mask and NOT using Test Lists (.vsmdi). ...

Currently, I have to use Source Control history to see individual checkins, then for each checkin I have a list of changed files, and I must double click each file to see its changes (if it was existing) or its contents (if it's new). This is time consumin...

We want to store our overridden build targets in an external file and include that targets file in the TFSBuild.proj.

I'm using Team Foundation Build but we aren't yet using TFS for problem tracking, so I would like to disable the work item creation on a failed build. Is there any way to do this? I tried commenting out the work item info in the TFSBuild.proj file for the build type but that didn't do the trick. ...
I ran into an issue when installing Team Foundation Server 2008 Workgroup Edition. I have a Windows Server 2003 SP2 machine that's practically new. I have installed SQL Server 2008 with almost all of the options. When I run through the TFS installation, it allows me to enter my SQL instance name and then goes through the verification pro...
I am using Visual Studio 2005 with Team Foundation Server. When I right click a file under the source control and choose "compare" VS appears to freeze until I hit escape. My guess is that the window that is supposed to be popping up is somewhere I can't get to. I tried minimizing all the windows that I can and it is nowhere to be fou...
