Team build and Dotfuscator

Hi, I've created a solution that includes all my projects, including the Dotfuscator projects, and setup projects.

Web Add-in for TFS Installation Problem

I am creating a simple web app for TFS2008, so I am using the "Microsoft.TeamFoundation.*" assemblies to access TFS.

Visual Studio (with TFS) history other than solution explorer?

Has anyone ever found other ways to get a file's commit history outside of solution explorer? It's really annoying that history is so stagnant because it is a really helpful view.

I have a solution that is checked into our TFS source control repository, but when I open it in Visual Studio 2005 the padlock symbol that usually tells you it is under source control is missing.

Microsoft Team System value within only a Dev Team

Microsoft Team System appears to be a great platform for process-oriented systems implementation, however if you strip out access for the BAs, PM and Business Users and just purely use it within a Dev team does it have any more value than just using Visual Studio Professional, SourceSafe, a Defect Tracking Tool and a continuous integrati...

TFS out of sync between local and remote - how to "re-sync"?

I have a Project on CodePlex which is using TFS and I am using the TFS Plugin for Visual Studio. Now I have copied this project and worked on another PC without TFS and done some refactoring.
