Deleting a folder in TFS

I created a folder in a TFS Project under workspace "CPortalWS". I deleted the workspace, but now I would like to delete the folder in the project and the delete option is not available.

Can Visual Studio (should it be able to) compute a diff between any two changesets associated with a work item?

Here is my use case: I start on a project XYZ, for which I create a work item, and I make frequent check-ins, easily 10-20 in total. ALL of the code changes will be code-read and code-reviewed. The change sets are not consecutive - other people check-in in-between my changes, although they are very unlikely to touch the exact same file...

Microsoft Team System Equivalent stack.

I am looking for a free alternative to TS. What would be the best alternative stack(source control, bug tracking, project management/planning, wiki, automated builds (ci))? Keeping in mind that it would be nice if they all integrated well. For example, it would be nice to be able to link bugs to source control, and then be able to li...

TFS 2010 and older versions of projects

Hi I have a couple of questions related to TFS and source control: 1) I was wondering if TFS2010 supports older versions of projects, such as projects from Visual Studio 2008, and whether it can build those projects normally. 2) I'm also curious about upgrading. Can I just upgrade my existing TFS 2008 to 2010 without installing the n...

SVN on Team Foundation Server - Delphi 2010

We're looking to upgrade to Delphi 2010 and have Team Foundation Server as our source Control. Is there a plug in for TFS that allows clients to talk to it via SVN?

what's a good technique for building and running many similar unit tests?

I have a test setup where I have many very similar unit tests that I need to run. For example, there are about 40 stored procedures that need to be checked for existence in the target environment. However I'd like all the tests to be grouped by their business unit. So there'd be 40 instances of a very similar TestMethod in 40 separate cl...

TFS 2010 - how should VS solutions with shared libraries be mapped into "team projects"?

I'm new to TFS (and branch/merge style source control). I've been reading through the TFS Branching Guide for 2010, but I'm having a bit of a disconnect with how my solutions should be mapped to the source control.

does TFS easily allow you to share testresults with people who don't have TFS?

I'd like to publish a set of test results to a place where team members who don't have TFS can see the results. Does TFS do anything like this easily?

I've got this SQL script that needs to exist in two places in source control. I want to have only one real copy of this file and keep a virtual copy of the file in the other solution. One is needed for a unit test and the other for a development tool. The files, should, by definition, always be the same. If they have differences then the...
