I recently downloaded Visual Studio 2010 beta 2, and was told it included a TFS server. However I am unsure of if it has/can be installed, or how to start it up if it has been.

We have a Visual Studio 2008 solution with a large number of projects in it. For the current product, only some of those projects are being used. We've created a build configuration for that product so we don't have to build every project in the solution. I want to be able to easily run all the unit tests that are relevant for this bu...

The state transitions of a work item in TFS (as defined in the project template): are these used for the workflow logic on the TFS GUI only? Or is this also used as a check when I use the TFS API to make changes to a work item in code? For example when I remove the transition between Closed and Active (so that the TFS UI will never be a...

So, I have a WCF service that is hosted on IIS and seems to be working insomuch that I can "see" it on the network by going to http://servername/MyService.svc in a browser. That .svc looks like: <% @Servic...

Apparently it is impossible to provide the Changed Date field with a timestamp (format '2009-12-14 10:00:00') when defining a new Team Query. I get the error: "The query failed. You cannot supply a time with the date when running a query using date precision.". Is there a workaround for this? I just want a list of work items which are c...
We have a number of files in our project and if they change they require changes to the Installers. Developers don't seem to be aware of the knock-ons of not notifying guy that looks after the installers of a change no matter how many emails are sent about it. We need some way of being notified if any of these files change. I know T...
We moved from Visual Source Safe to Team Foundation Server. Can I sync. TFS source control to Visual Source Safe?

Hi all, Q. We're looking for a way to automate build process, run test cases and store build results. A problem could be raise as the application on which we want to setup this process is an ajax application -- a one page operation application highly rely on JavaScript.

We have a couple of DLLs that need to be put in the GAC at compile time only in Debug mode as this is what developers use locally. Release mode will be the Continuous Integration server build and we will not want to put any dlls in the GAC. We used to do something similar with post build events on a project, but if a post build event ...

A freshly installed TFS 2010 is at http://serverX:8080/tfs. A Windows 7 developer machine with VS 2008 Pro SP1 and the VS2008 Team Explorer (no SP). The TFS 2008 Service Pack 1 didn't work for me - "None of the products that are addressed by this software update are installed on this computer." The developer machine is able to browse ...
I don't have a great deal of experience with TFS, other than using it for source control. I am working on a C# application that will need to modify files that are being controlled by TFS. From within my C# application, how can I check out a file that is controlled via TFS? Thanks - Randy ...
I'd like to find a way to record the Technical Debt we incur in TFS. I need to record each item outside of a specific iteration to ensure that it is visible and easily-reported all the time. I've considered creating a separate Area for technical debt, but am unsure how well-suited that field actually is. What are some common approache...
