I got the 'resolve' dialog in TFS, and it looks like I clicked too fast on the wrong button (because they're too close together) and blew away a week's worth of work when TFS discarded my local changes. Is there an undo operation somewhere? ...
We have a rule in TFS that requires all checkins to be associated with a work item. We have an automated daily build process that uses tf.exe to check in the files. However, I did not find any way to associate files with a work item. I heard of tfpt, and have it installed, however, I did not have any success using it to associate files ...
So I have a website running that displays full path of a TFS File on the page somewhere, I want the user to be able to click on it, which should then open up that file from TFS inside their Visual Studio. The command to do this inside Visual Studio is "File.TfsOpenFromSourceControl" (DTE command) - it's basically the user manually going...
Hi, I'm investigating this for someone else but I hope this explanation is correct: We have a lot of files and a lot of folders in TFS source control, but two of them are these (made up names): $/Root/Shared/... $/Root/Solutions/... 5 files from the folder $/Root/Shared/Client/Main are now checked in, and when looking at the changese...
Hi I am trying to create new workitems via the TFS API and this is the method I have used below to get a list of valid users who can be assigned workitems.

I have some version of code on my machine. I want to set up a second machine with the same version of code so I can pull down a shelveset based off this version. However, I didn't write down the day/time I last did get latest on my machine. To get the right version, I need to know when exactly I last did 'get latest' on my machine. I...
Looking for some feedback on setting up our solutions in TFS. Right now we are using source safe and it is painful. Fortunately we are finally going to TFS. We have a collection of projects and I am looking for the "best" way to set these up. The core is a server solution and a client solution that make up the framework for our other ap...
I have an ASP.NET website where most of the pages are generated and published via a CMS system. This includes static HTML, CSS, ASPX, ASP, images, etc. However, we have some user controls and pages that are managed by a separate dev team. These files live under the same web root but are not managed in the CMS. These files are limited to...

Team System 2010 has some new features that really interest me including branched history, rollback, and baseless merge. Are these features available with just the new Team System Client, or do I have to upgrade my TFS server to use them? ...
Hi after toying around with SQL Server 2005 Database projects, I have been pointed to the Visual Studio 2008 Database Edition GDR 2 extension (by our Microsoft rep), which allows for the creation of "SQL Server 2005 Server Project" projects. As far as I understand it, this lets you create a project with all the shared objects (logins b...
Hi I am new to the TFS API and currently in the process of creating new work items via a windows form app. Can anyone explain in detail with code examples on how to create new Change Requests, Risks and Scenarios for TFS 2010?

Current our BAs use Visio and Word to scope our requirements so there is no formal UML type user story/case based design though I am looking to implement something like this. Our solutions mainly use the following techno...
Someone (other than myself) accidentally deleted files in TFS and checked it in. He then discovered his error and wanted to replace the lost files, which he did - from his own hard drive. In between his error and my discovery of it, others have made changes to adjacent files. Now, I want to roll the deleted files back to their state befo...
I'm currently working on a project with TFS source control. We've just gotten in a bug report for an older version of the code, and I need to pull down that version of code to test it out. My first thought would be to "Get Specific Version" to pull down the code, but I'd rather not get that version into my current workspace directory. ...
