Team Foundation Build - resolving cross solution project references

We have a shared project referenced across multiple solutions which, when encountered by TF build causes: 'error MSB3202: The project file "......\trunk\\\sharedproject.csproj" was not found'.

How do you determine what files are associated with a label in TFS?

I am unsure if I have a bug or my understanding of labeling in TFS is faulty. I have a situation where I have a file I expect to have a specific label assigned to it. I have 2 projects, the main project and the 3rd party project. I apply a label to both. When I do a find for a specific version on one file in 3rd party project using...

TFS build-server build of branch?

We have a TFS 2008 project with two branches ("Main" and "NewFeature"). Each is a complete, independent "copy" (variant) of the source code. By changing the workspace mappings, we can map either variant onto our local PCs and have been working with both branches with no problems. However, if I set up the mappings to switch our build se...

I would like to get some visibility of what changes have gone into our TFS build.

If so, has this been done before? [UPDATE] I have disco...

Excluded projects block Team Foundation Build test step

A followup to this question, Building select projects only with Team Foundation Build: I’ve now successfully “isolated” three of the projects in a solution with 20+ projects. One of the three projects is a test project, which contains unit tests for one of the other projects (a class library). Team Build is running fine, just the three ...

Is there an adequate replacement for Source Control Explorer?

I use TFS 2008 for source control with Visual Studio 2008 at my office. I have previously used Subversion (and even source safe) and found it much easier to find information than using the panel "Source Control Explorer" inside visual studio. Are there any better designed alternatives to be able to do my common source control tasks? ...

I'm attempting to make use of configuration transformations in a continuous integration environment. I need a way to tell the TFS build agent to perform the transformations.

what is the difference between branch from version by workspace and by latest version

If I've started making changes, and then realize that I should have branched first, i assumed that if I create a branch "from version by workspace" I would get a new branch with my workspace version in the branch. But It doesn't seem to work that way so I'm now confused about the different options in branching "from version" with Team F...
