If a file is modified in Visual Studio, the files are automatically checked out from Team Foundation Server. However, sometimes there are files not modified in VS, is there command to check out those modified files only? ...
When I queue two builds from the same Team Project, the first one starts immediately and the second is queued to run after the first is complete. However, when queuing two builds from different projects, they both start immediately. Is it possible to use this "queue" feature for builds from more than one project? I would like every bu...
Our team is looking to start utilizing a code review tool. I have used many in the past and I am very fond of a few options that are available for SVN. However, we are using Team Foundation Server for source control and I have found there to be a real lack in options. So far, through searching, I have found SmartBear's Code Collabo...
When I checkout, checkin, rename soemthing in Vs 2008 SP1 while I have the project open in Expression Blend 3, these changes are not updated in Blend until I close and reopen the solution in blend or I try to checkout/checkin an item that is aready checked out.

Could any one suggest a tool for performing peer code review before check-ins that is integrated with Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio 2008? [Update]: Looks like there is no such tool. Can you suggest the best process for code-review after check in? ...
I'm currently tasked with setting up a TFS server for a client. The TFS will mainly be accessed by local (on-site) users through the internal network... Easy! But what about the few remote users we have? Should they connect via VPN or is it better to make the TFS server public and have the users connect over SSL and provide username and...
We are on TFS2005 and we are definitely not using all of it's capabilities. All we use it for right now is it's source code repository. For CI we are using CruiseControl as TFS2005 will not build .NET3.5 applications. Moving to TFS2010 is one of our considerations but we are also thinking of just moving to Subversion. Anyone done a TFS ...
How can I bookmark a project in TFS for quick access. we have a huge project repository with branching and many levels of hierarchy. I'm looking for some way to mark my favorites projects in Team Explorer Environment: TFS 2008, VS 2008 ...
I checked-in my codes in TFS but I forgot to associate a work item. I tried to go to check-in history and opened the check-in change set details but when I clicked on the Work Items button, it says that there is no work items associated and it does not give me an option to associate one. ...
When shelving a set of changes, I uncheck "Preserve pending changes locally". The changed files revert to their previous version, but the newly added files remain in my project directory. To keep working on the application without these new changes, I then have to manually delete all the new files that I have added. Is this normal beh...
I want to set up TFS permissions to better reflect the responsibilities and levels of clearance of different roles within my organization; I'm finding that the default Reader and Contributor groups are too coarse-grained for my needs (and too loosely named). To keep maintenance overheads to a minimum, I'm therefore thinking of replacing...
Hello, I'm looking to get the Build Number or Build Name of what Builds a particular ChangeSetID will trigger. I see there's a TfsWarehouse.dbo.[Build Changeset] table, but the TfsWarehouse DB is only populated every so often, I need this information after the TFS CheckIn Alert is fires. I've created a Check In Service that creates Cod...
Maybe a bit of a newbie question, but I don't want to mess up my visual studio installation at the moment :p I currently have Visual Studio 2008 installed with Team Explorer and TFS Power Tools which I use for work and a few projects on Codeplex. Today I discovered an interesting tool called VisualSVN which I would like to try out since...
We have a service written in one of our Team Projects. It's in "Project A". This service was modified to work not only for "Project A", but also for "Project B" which of course, is another Team Project. Now, if a dev sees it running, it will be with a name that would make them look in Team Project B... but of course, the code isn't th...
I'm asking this question because I haven't seen it documented anywhere. We are using a combination of Team Foundation Server 2008 and Team Explorer 2005. Is it possible to deploy a custom check-in policy that works in such an environment ? Obviously, the custom check-in policy contains some code that must run on the client-side (in ord...
Our company uses a 'user number' for our primary network ID. We do use Active Directory for managing our users, so we can associate our user number with a Display Name. TFS Source Control by default (only?) shows a User column, which shows the network ID. Is it possible to add/show the Display Name in TFS Source Control instead of, or...
My gut feeling is that this is not possible, but what I'd like to do is this: checkout my code from TFS but exclude a specific changeset in that checkout. If it's not possible to do this directly, is there some obscure TFS feature that might let me remove a changeset from an already checked out set of code? I'm more curious than anythin...
I'm trying to recursively rename a bunch of TFS folders using tf rename, PowerShell and a regular expression but I'm having some issues with PowerShell as I haven't spent much time with it. This is what I've put together so far to replace a leading 5 with 2.3.2 but it isn't working: dir | foreach { tf rename $_ { $_.Name -replace '^5',...
Is there a way to restore an accidentally deleted project portal in TFS 2008? ...
Hi folks, i'm using the Build Explorer to delete our project's builds. It's taking forever becuase it's 'timing out' trying to delete the label and drop location (now that the drop location doesn't exist any more). So, I'm hoping to do this via the command line to see if i get more love. Is this possible? ...
