We would like to integrate an extra popup/prompt when a user checks in something and associating it with a work item. The prompt should ask the user how much time he spent and how much time is left on the work item. This will work as timesheet material for the timereport and invoice. Has anybody any experience to share in this matter? Is...
When using CustomizableOutDir, I'm having problems with TFS Team Build firing off MSTest.exe properly. TFSBuild.rsp /verbosity:diagnostic /p:CustomizableOutDir=true TFSBuild.proj (solutions to build snippet) <!-- code --> <SolutionToBuild Include="$(BuildProjectFolderPath)/../../foo.csproj"> <Properties>OutputPath=$(Bi...
I have a couple of projects hosted on Codeplex. Since I didn't really have a clue about anything but TFS when I created them, I used that. But, now I have gotten more comfortable with TortoiseSVN and VisualSVN so I would like to use that instead. Of course, to get my project using subversion is no problem. The thing is that the projects...
I've just installed Team Foundation Server 2010 Beta 2. Don't know how but the Connection String for the Data Backend (Configuration Database) is defined using "IntegratedSecurity" which is a bad thing. I have no (more) idea(s) about how to change that Connection String. Anyone smarter than me? ;-) ...
I'm integrating a Fitnesse Acceptance test suite into a TFS based CI process. I can run the Fitnesse Test suite in a RESTful manner (http://fitnesse.org/FitNesse.UserGuide.RestfulTests): http://myfitnesseserver/MyTestSuite?suite&format=xml and get back an XML document of test results. I'd like to transform that into a format th...

I Imagine now that it is in tfsConnection but I'm not sure. Is there any documentation that tells what really changes between Team Foundation Server 200...
Hi I need to get a list of work items that are associated with selected changesets programmatically. So far I have been able to get the changesets associated with a work item ID using the concept of Artifacts, as well as got the changesets and/or workitems associated with a particular build using : InformationNodeConverters.GetAssociat...
We develop some product using an internal design tool that stores information in XML files. To provide proper integration with TFS we've also coded a provider that tracks, in TFS, checkin and checkout operation from users while they're using the designer, without any need to interact with Team Explorer. Now the requirement is to add als...
I'm using TFS 2008 and the TFS Build Service. I am able to perform builds, but I'm annoyed about receiving alerts for successful builds. I only want to receive a notification when a build does NOT succeed. Not sure why I can't find this setting, but maybe it is not offered. Does anybody know if this is possible or am I missing something?...
We make a release branch from trunk at the end of each sprint. This is a manual job; we branch the src and manually edit the build config. This has proved to be an error prone process. Is it possible to automate it in TFS? ...
For our code review process we open the details of a shelveset to see all files that have been worked on. Right clicking and choosing "Compare" works great for existing ( modified ) files. But, when a file has been added I just want to view the file. Double clicking ( or right click -> view ) opens .cs ( and .sql )files in notepad. W...
Hi, I have got the following structure: $ --TeamProject1 ---Solution1.sln ----TestProject1 --TeamProject2 ---Solution2.sln ----TestProject2 In TestProject1, I add TestProject2.dll as reference (Not a project reference, but a file reference). My question is: how to build a solution that reference to assemblies belonging to different te...

On our TFS server we have a branch structure like this 9 8.3 8.2 8.1 8.0 Where each branch is a child of the branch above it, so that it's easy for developers to merge changes they make to all subsequent versions (e.g. changes in 8.2 up to 8.3 and 9). I now need to add a branch for 8.4 and here is where my problem is occurring. I can...
I need to get a previous version of a file in source control, using Team Foundation Server (TFS), . When I try to get a specific version based on change set the merge screen comes up. I do not want this, I just want to get the previous version and have it checked out. My current version of the file got corrupted and now I just want the p...
Hi Everyone, We've got a new server with TFS installed. The current environment is very usual, source code managed with SourceSafe 2005 and integrated with Visual Studio 2008 Enterprise Edition. The QA team is using Bugzilla to report the bugs. First of all some basic questions: How can I move my project to TFS along with the databas...
Hi All, I have set up Team Foundation Server - Team Web Access SP1. I can connect just fine from the internal network, but not from the Internet. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks! ...
How do I get a T4 template to generate its output on every build? As it is now, it only regenerates it when I make a change to the template.

Hello Everyone, Yesterday, I asked a question Migrate to TFS and the answer mentioned some very good tools which can be very helpful. Thanks to jwanagel. But I forgot to mention there the VSS server and TFS server are two different machines. And when you've both on different location it seems you would have to take a ...
