customized pages in TFS 2008
Can we extend the Team Site to host our own pages. i.e. Does TFS allows you to add pages/web parts that are developed by us. I have found few clues in Google but no one could elaborate properly. ...

InvalidProgramException in Team Foundation Server Sample
Hi I get an System.InvalidProgramException while trying to run the Example Project called "C# Example.WorkItemBrowser". The Exception also apears when I try to execute these lines: TeamFoundationServer tfserver = new TeamFoundationServer("http://localhost:8085"); tfserver.EnsureAuthenticated(); WorkItemStore store = new WorkItemStore(tf...
Using separate TFS projects for source control and work item tracking, is this a good thing?
I have a client who is using one TFS project just for source control only and now wants to manage work items in a totally different TFS project, using a different process template, and intends to link changesets to work items across TFS projects. I know that this is possible in TFS, but don't know what the limitations or issues that com...
How have you customised work items in Team System?
At my company we use the default agile process template with some modificiations. One modification we have made is added a field that indicates how to report time spent on a work item. What customisations of the default process templates have you made? Have you customised a third party process template or maybe rolled your own from scr...
How can I add SQL Server database objects to TFS?
We don't currently have our SQL Server objects in any form of source control. We recently installed TFS 2008 and I'd like to get our SQL server code added. I think I could script all of the database and create script files for each object, but I'm hoping there is a way to point to a database in SSMS and create a project that can be added...
Team Foundation Server (TFS) File Difference viewer - customize with other tool
Hello, I am using Team Foundation Server (TFS) for Visual Studio 2005. Whenever i wish to compare two file's versions TFS displays a window with the differences. The problem is that it is always splitted vertically. In fact, almost every time, i would prefer to have it splitted horizontally. I've already looked at TFS options and goo...

I am looking for an addin that will allow me to click a button on the VS toolbar and the following actions should happen. On the highlighted project/folder/item from either Source Control Explorer or Solution Explorer, do a 'Get Specific Version' Click those 2 checkboxes, hit the 'Get' button on that dialog As I find myself doing t...
What are the basic minimum set of Code Analysis rules that you would recommend?
What are the basic minimum set of Code Analysis rules that you would recommend for a 200K LOC solution? We're using unit testing but code analysis has been turned off. Ideally all rules would be turned on by default but I'd like to do this gently and turn on rules in batches so we do not have to deal with everything at once. So, what r...
Manually Trigger a TFS Team Build
How would you manually trigger additional team builds from a team build? For example, when we were in CC.Net other builds would trigger if certain builds were successful. The second build could either be projects that use this component or additional, long running test libraries for the same component. ...
TFS Webservice Documentation
We use a lot of of python to do much of our deployment and would be handy to connect to our TFS server to get information on iteration paths, tickets etc. I can see the webservice but unable to find any documentation. Just wondering if anyone knew of anything? Thanks, MattD ...
How do I set a source control plug in default for Visual Studio 2008?
We recently installed Team Foundation Server 2008 and we are using it for both Visual Studio 2008 code and Visual FoxPro 9 code that we are still migrating to .Net. I had to install the TFS MSSCCI provider to get connectivity from the VFP9 IDE. That works fine, but Visual Studio now seems to get confused about which source control plug i...
Quality Indicators TFS 2008 report and multiple build types
In a project we have two build types, one for continuous integration and one that runs our test suite. When the Quality Indicators report is run, it displays data from all builds regardless of build type. The report suggests that one can only run it on a specific build type but the query that populates the builds field only seems to wo...
How to retrieve a list of tasks and bugs from TFS in a batch file?
I would like to access the work items in our TFS programmatically. Shouldn't there be an obvious command line tool to extract such information? Or a WebService I can just call? I already have checked into using Excel - this is neat, but I want more hardcore... ...
Rollback a changeset from the command-line only in TFS?
Hi All, I'm building an automated promotion utility for TFS. One of the features I'd like to support is rolling back the latest change. I'm quite aware of the Rollback Power Tool, but my understanding is that even if you pass a changeset in through the command line, it still brings up the GUI interface for other operations. My thought ...
How do I search TFS for a word without 'getting' the project?
I often have occasion to search for a function name in a project that I haven't retrieved from Team Foundation Server (TFS) and that I don't want to retrieve. Is there a way to search for that function name (any word) on TFS? ...
TFS Sprint Item Print Plug-in
Does anyone know if there is a plug-in for TFS that will print out our sprint backlog items in a format suitable for using on a Scrum Board, rather than us having to write them out by hand? ...
"There appears to be a discrepancy between the solution's source control ...."
We get this error in Visual Studio 2005 and TFS very often. Can anyone help us pinpoint the cause for this message? The full message is: There appears to be a discrepancy between the solution's source control information about some project(s) and the information in the project file(s). To resolve this discrepancy it will be necessary...
Is there a way to make TFS linkable?
I'm a big fan of TFS, but unfortunately they seem to have omitted any sort of method of linking to individual items (be they work items, documents, or files under version control). This blog post discusses using TSWA Power Tools to link directly to things (which is useful for building linkified notification emails), but that is not suff...
Implementing Team Foundation Server with a small development team
We have a small 3 developer team that is currently using Subversion for our source control. We expect the team to group to 8 members within the next 6 to 12 months. We are considering changing our source control to either TFS or Mercurial for improved branching. I know TFS is overkill for just branching, but that is the immediate need, a...
Programatically find TFS changes since last good build
I have several branches in TFS (dev, test, stage) and when I merge changes into the test branch I want the automated build and deploy script to find all the updated SQL files and deploy them to the test database. I thought I could do this by finding all the changesets associated with the build since the last good build, finding all the ...
