Has anyone out there used TFS's API to synchronize different types of repositories? I have a SVN repo that I want to sync with a TFS repo. More accurately, I just want to take everything latest from SVN occasionally (nightly) and dump it out to TFS as the latest version. Any advice? ...
Underneath one "Project" in TFS we have multiple products. This is because for us, a project is a business unit and they each can have many applications that we develop for them. Each one has its own folder in source control(under the TFS project) and each one has its own TeamBuild set up. The issue I have is that whenever a build run...
Hello there, I have been googling for a good time on how to move a file with c# using the TFS API. The idea is to have a folder on which the developers drop database upgrade scripts and the build process get's to the folder creates a build script and moves all the files on the folder to a new folder with the database build version that...
We have built a custom application, for internal use, that accesses TFS. We use the Microsoft libraries for this (e.g Microsoft.TeamFoundation.dll). When this application is deployed to PCs that already have Team Explorer or VS installed, everything is fine. When it’s deployed to PCs that don’t have this installed, it fails. We inclu...
Given a pretty basic source tree structure like the following: trunk ------- QA |-------- Stage |------- Prod |------ And an environment which mirrors that (Dev, QA, Staging and Production servers) - how do you all manage automated or manual code promotion? Do you use a CI server to build and promote at all stages?...
In Visual Studio with TFS as source control, when I view the history and double click a cs file, the file is loaded in notepad. How can i change the application to be notepad++? I also would like the OS's default application for the file to still be visual studio ...
We currently are using both Visual Source Safe and Team Foundation Server at work (VSS for old projects, TFS for current or new projects). We have always used Labels in source control for each build. In VSS if you chose to see a file history you could include labels. In TFS I cannot find an option to include the lables in the history ...
I am having trouble getting Team Build to execute my MbUnit unit tests. I have tried to edit TFSBuild.proj and added the following parts: <Project ...> <UsingTask TaskName="MbUnit.MSBuild.Tasks.MbUnit" AssemblyFile="path_to_MbUnit.MSBuild.Tasks.dll" /> ... ... <ItemGroup> <TestAssemblies Include="$(OutDir)\Project1.dll" /> ...
You can limit "Check-In Policy" rules via the "Custom Paths" policy. But the "Check-in Notes" tab doesn't seem to fit in to the same system. Why isn't "Check-In notes" just another "Check-In policy"?? I'm using Team Foundation Server 2008 SP1 ...
How can I to generate an RSS feed of Team Foundation Server commit messages? In Visual Studio's Source Control Explorer, the "View History" option produces a nice GUI view. Likewise, the command line tf history /recursive /stopafter:40 . produces a nice GUI view. I'd like an RSS feed that would supply the same, or similar, informa...
I have a specific changeset that I want to "rollback" my Development branch to, but I want to take all of the the changes after that specific changeset and put them in to a new branch. Is this possible in TFS? If so, how could I do such a thing? Thanks, Dave ...
Our team would like to move from the Visual SourceSafe (VSS) to the Team Foundation Server (TFS). I know that the TFS is much more than just a version control system, but for the first time I would like to use it this way. Currently our projects are organized within the single solution that consists of the shared part (common library) a...
Is there a command-line approach for having VS 2008 remove TFS source control bindings from a solution file and the constituent project files? I need something that I can run from a batch file so that I don't have to open the solution and click the 2 prompts to permanently remove the bindings. Edit: After deleting the *.vspscc and *.vs...
Hi Everyone, So this is a question for anyone who has had to integrate the building/compilation of legacy projects/code in a Team Build/MSBuild environment - specifically, Visual Basic 6 applications/projects. Outside of writing a custom build Task (which I am not against) does anyone have any suggestions on how best to integrate comp...
I’m trying to use a (VS 2008) Web Deployment project in a TFS solution to deploy the web site to the (TFS 2008) build server to run web based unit tests. For some reason, that I can't yet figure out, it is failing to create the virtual directory: Using "CreateVirtualDirectory" task from assembly "C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WebD...
How come one user in the local Administrators Group has no problem hitting http://localhost:8080/services/v1.0/Registration.asmx while other users in the local Administrators Group get 403 (access denied) errors (with nothing in the Event log)? ...
How do you like using TFS? My company is rolling out TFS 2008. It integrates with our current IntelliJ IDEA. We will be migrating from SVN. Is this going to make my life better? ...
When viewing files in a shelveset, I would like the option of comparing the files to my current local version. Unfortunately, the only options available are "With Unmodified", "With Workspace" (I guess this one would be the answer, if it wasn't disabled) and "With Latest". Any ideas? ...
It seems that when I use a tool (such as winmerge) to update my codebase... my Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) integration with Team Foundation Server (TFS) doesn't seem to pick it up. How do I know which files to check out and check back in? Is there something I am missing? Is this a feature that isn't part of VSTS & TFS? ...
We have TFS 2008 our build set up to checkout all AssemblyInfo.cs files in the project, update them with AssemblyInfoTask, and then either undo the checkout or checkin depending on whether the build passed or not. Unfortunately, when two builds are queued close together this results in a Partially completed build as the AssemblyInfo.cs ...
