Strange TFS Source Repository Problem

We have a web project we are working on using TFS and we are kind of new to it (TFS). One of my teammates is unable to see a particular page (three associated files) in the IDE. To the rest of us, it looks as though it is checked out to her. When she ran the unlock command through the console, it returned that the files for the page w...

is there an easy way to get a file and have the last check-in as the file's timestamp?

I'd like to get a batch of files from a directory by date except for one file. I'd like to then look at all the files and see that yes, files 1 to n are the old versions and file 0 is the new version. The simplest way to do that, seems to me, is to get the files and have the local file's timestamp be the last checkin time of that file....

TFS: Can I have a script run when I create a new label?

We're using TFS 2008 for our source control. We're currently doing embedded work so our actual build process is using Analog Devices VisualDSP++ IDE. However, we do still use labels on TFS.

TFS Proxy alternatives.

TFS Proxy is designed to enable Team Foundation Server to mirror source control files to other Team Foundation Servers - very useful for geographically distributed teams.

What are the SQL Server requirements for Team Foundation Server And Reporting Services?

I had many problems installing Team Foundation Server 2005 (Workgroup) about six months ago for various reasons, and because other projects have taken priority, I never did finish. On top of that, we are installing a new server and I am now trying to determine what licensing and editions we need to purchase for SQL Server. One of the pr...

Visual Studio 2008: Updating current code with changes made in previous branch

Our TFS is divided to a "work in progress" directory and several branches of older versions. We made some major changes to the previous version and now we want to apply these changes to the current version. Now, the problem is that I don't see how it can be done easily: I can compare the two versions - but it doesn't let me copy the chan...

I'm relatively new to TFS and perhaps because I'm a novice, I'm not too thrilled with its behaviour. Scenario: I copy a source tree from the TFS server to my local hard drive. I open a solution from my local hard drive by browsing to the .sln file. From the vs Solution Explorer I double-click a .cs file. Even though I'm just looking...

TFS 2008 Sourcecode security
