I have a lot of legacy Delphi 5 & 6 Code. We want to test this code using the new Microsoft Test Manager (part of VS2010) To effectively track your testing using this tool you need to use build numbers. To get Delphi 5 or 6 building in TFS Build 2010 is a huge task. One that I am not sure I want to take on. Is there a way I can just...
Forbidden Patterns Check-In Policy in TFS 2010
I've been trying to use the Forbidden Patterns part of the TFS 2010 Power Tools and I'm just not understanding something - I simply cannot get anything to change as I try to use this! I'm using the version that was released recently (I believe April 23, 2010), so it's not an old version. First off, yes, I know it's regex based, so let's...
MS Project File Associated with Multiple TFS Projects

Is my TFS2010 backup/restore hosed?
Hi all, I recently set up a sandbox TFS to test TFS-specific features without interfering with the production TFS. I was happy I did this sooner than I thought--I hadn't been backing up the encryption key from SSRS and upon restoring the reporting databases, they remained inactive, requiring initialization that could only come from appl...

Why should my small .NET development company upgrade to from Team Foundation Server 2008 to 2010?
The company for which I work has an MSDN license and upgrading to TFS 2010 from 2008 is not an expensive option. However, neither my colleagues or me have been able to find any features that make this something we feel we need. Is anyone experienced with TFS 2010 enough to convince me that my company needs this? To clarify: we have n...
Connecting TFS2008 server to Sharepoint (WSS3)
I have recently upgraded from TFS2005 to 2008, and in doing so, lost the connection to Sharepoint so now I cannot access my project portal from VSS or TFS Web.
