Branching and Merging Strategies
I have been tasked with coming up with a strategy for branching, merging and releasing over the next 6 months. The complication comes from the fact the we will be running multiple projects all with different code changes and different release dates but approximately the same development start dates. At present we are using VSS for code...
TFS Automatically Adds Built DLLs to Source Control
I have a multi-project solution being stored in TFS. Each project has separate Debug/Release build configuration folder specified. The main project's bin folder is "included" in source control because it contains some third party DLLs that are included in the repository. Each reference is a "project" reference type as per MS/TFS best pr...

Hi I am in the process of creating a new team project by executing the tfpt createteamproject command as a background process in my .net application. However, I get the following exception from the log : 2009-10-06 17:02:10Z | Module: Internal | Team Foundation Server proxy retrieved | Completion time: 0.140274 seconds 2009-10-06 17:...
What Add-Ons / Utilities are available for TFS?
I'm interested in knowing what high quality and useful add-ons or utilities are available for TFS. They can be commercial or open source. Of particular interest are any tools allowing visualisation of branches and tracking changesets as they are merged across branches (yes I know that the next version of TFS will be better in this area)....
Impossible things with clone of TFS
We created a copy of our production TFS to test various applications we build internally for our needs. Thus, we created a fresh install of TFS and attached old databases to it. However, I noticed one strange thing: when I change a WI on our production TFS the change gets reflected on our copy, and vise versa. We do not have notificatio...
TFS Branching and Disk Space
I've been thinking over some branching strategies (creating branches per feature, maybe per developer since we're a small group) and was wondering if anyone had experienced any issues. Does creating a branch take up much space? ...
get a set of files that have been modified after a certain date
Does anyone have a handy powershell script that gets a set of files from TFS based on a modification date? I'd like to say "give me all the files in this folder (or subfolder) that were modified after X/Y/ZZZZ" and dump those files to a folder other than the folder they would normally go to. I know enough powershell to hack about and get...
TFS Changeset history using QueryHistory after branch rename
I'm using the VersionControlServer.QueryHistory method to retrieve a list of files that have changed during a timespan that ranges from 5/1/2009 to 10/1/2009. My results unexpectedly only included items that had changed after 9/1/2009. I then realized that the path that I was using, $/Project/Reports/Main, didn't exist until 9/1/2009. Be...
MSBuild TFS Build Number
Hi, I have been using SVN for a little while now. recently on a project I am using TFS. With the builds I like to append/update the build version number on the project output.

Free alternative to TFS work item
Hi I'm looking for a free way to automate builds and manage work items (including bug-tracking) for a small open-source team (mostly myself and 1 to 3 other developers). I checked many products and for now, the best I could found was TeamCity but this tool doesn't seem to have work item management (tasks, bugs, requirements etc). I use...
VSTS 2010 Create a custom Process Template
Hi, I am required to create a custom Process Template on using VSTS 2010 Beta 1. Given that I did not use templates in VSTS 2008 I am not even sure where to start. The TFS and VS 2010 are all installed and configured. First I tried to create a test project and selected a built-in template "MSF for Agile Software etc." I wanted to try to...

The Command "File.BatchNewTeamProject" is not available in VSTS 2010
Hi, I am trying to automate the creation of team projects using a command built into VS 2010 called File.BatchNewTeamProject using a project settings file as an argument, and executing this as a process silently in the background from my c# win app. I am aware of a requirement that Team Explorer has to be open and connected to TFS before...
Automatic Checkout with TFS
I recently moved to a new client where the source control system is TFS 2008. I have been using Subversion for almost 4 years so this is quite a change for me. One of the first things I noticed is that every time I try to modify a file Visual Studio (2008) tells me that the file is read-only. I spoke to the guy in charge of TFS and he...
Specify configuration file when running Tests on TFS Buid server
We do not have VS Test Edition. So we are running tests by specifying the dll which contains the tests: <TestContainer Include="$(OutDir)\%2a.Test.dll;$(OutDir)\%2a.Tests.dll" /> This works OK, except for the Integration tests that need to read information from the configuration file (App.config) Is their a way to specify the confi...
