Our install of TFS was done by an outside contractor and was not done well and I am not the Admin on the project so I am limited in what I can do. However, I have found some odd problems that I don't understand. First of all, when I connect to the TFS analysis server I see the TFSdDataWarehouse but only see the main Cube, none of the pe...
So, my client wants a customer dashboard integrating all information related to a project in a common sharepoint site. So we have something like this http://tdg-srv-006/ <------- Sharepoint site (SP) http://tdg-srv-006/PWA/ <--- Project Web Access site (PWA) http://tdg-srv-tfs2/ <------ Team foundation Server (TFS) He wa...
Hi Guys, We're starting to user Team Foundation Server and my boss would like some way to "archive" projects. Meaning after they are completed, remove them from an "active" state so that only "active" projects are visible. Does anyone have any experience with this? I've thought of 2 options. 1) Create 2 base projects. 1 for active pr...
If this question weren't specific to a VCS (and therefore be the kind of thing that programmers would know more about than sys admins) then I'd ask it on server fault or superuser... That said, how can I access TFS from Linux? Is there a client app that will run on Linux, or perhaps a TFS-to-SVN bridge that could run on Windows and be ...
We have mutiple config files (app.DEV.config, app.TEST.config, etc) and a pre-build event that copies the correct config file to app.config. Obviously the configuration specific files are in source control --- but at the moment so is App.Config, and that shouldn't be. How can I mark that one file as excluded from source control, but ob...
Hi all, I have 2 TFS projects on the same server (ProjectA and ProjectB). Both have the following structure... $/ProjectName/Dev/Source/ApplicationName/ $/ProjectName/Dev/Source/SharedBinaries/ In ProjectA I can drag dlls into the ShareBinaries directory. In ProjectB, however, I cannot. TFS presents me with the 'Add to Source Contro...
Does any one knows how to create a query for tfs that will show items changed yesterday by specific user? I need to view what items was done by team yesterday. ...
I always create a MSI file for our web application.There are different states when I build a MSI For system testing on test server after the issues are fixed Another for submitting it to the customer Third is for a hot fix The current versioning scheme is v3.2.18.18 i.e v x.x.xx.xx Now how to increment in the above three cases & wha...
Have looked throught the other questions and can't see a clear answer to this. We are a small development team, working on what could be described as 3 separate front-office 'applications' (OnlineOrders via asp web, TradeManagement winforms app, ASP.NET ReportingSuite). However for better or worse, each of these apps share one centra...
I'm trying to programmatically intercept and cancel a user's attempt to check out a file in TFS. Am I correct in thinking that the proper way to go about this would be to handle the NewPendingChange in a Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.VersionControlServer ? What is the proper way for canceling the event from its event ...
We are using Scott Hansleman's suggestion for multiple web.configs from his post here. The problem we have is that we have to check out the Web.Config. If we remove it from the project, when we publish, no web.config is pushed. So we need to remove the source control bindings just from the web.config, but leave it in the project, and ...
Let's say I have a bunch of bugs (work items) that are all linked one work item. How can I right a work item query to fetch the list of all bugs linked to a specific work item? I can see the list of linked bugs when I look at the specific work item but I'd like to be able to create a query for this. Thanks! ...
I'm using TFS and trying to merge a branch back to the trunk from which it was made. Trouble is, the Source Control Merge Wizard has no entries in its Target Branch dropdown list. I suspect this is because the trunk was renamed after the branch was made. Is there a simple way that I can still perform the merge and have TFS recognise tha...
I'm considering storing the URI for a workitem from our TFS environment in our helpdesk system, however looking at the URIs TFS gives us (vstfs:///WorkItemTracking/WorkItem/327), there doesn't appear any recognition of which team project it is associated with, which makes me wonder how meaningful they are? Is it possible to load a worki...
I would like to be able to import TFS tasks / work items into the Visual Studio Task Lists. Is this possible? UPDATE: It looks as though I'll have to use WIQL that is found in the SDK. I hope to save some time and would appreciate any posts / war stories associated with TFS and sync'ing to Visual Studio. ...
Hi I have a problem in my company where suddenly 2 users were having problems with connecting to TFS. They both get an error message saying "The operation could not be competed" and then nothing more. This happens on both Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 everytime the user performs a TFS action, e.g. at checkin or viewing a Work Item Both ...
Hi, We are having two problems with Visual Studio Team System 2008. Very rarely, if we make changes to our source code, and we try to upload it to the server, it doesn't recognize the changed files, and doesn't upload them. Even worse, we also have a database file (extension .bak) that does not seem to get uploaded to the server, no m...
A colleague has installed VS2008 Team Explorer (as part of his role in Scrum) and can successfully use Work Items, Documents and Reports. I now want him to use the TFS Source Control for non-code files (documents etc). He can successfully open Source Control Explorer but everything is greyed out as nothing has been mapped locally. Unfort...
I'm looking for a good summary of best practices for working with TFS source control: Examples: Get latest before checking in Make sure everything builds after getting latest but before checking in etc. Thank you, Matt ...
I have been trying to make a task in my TFS builds more generic, and one of the things I am trying to do is copy some files to different directories depending on the build using the task. I toyed with the idea of using properties, but I couldn't think of a way to do that cleanly, so I tried to go with using item metadata, as I've been ab...
