How do people generally deal with TFS when you've got to work with multiple solution files? If you've got one instance it's easy because you can always go to that window for the source control explorer, pending changes, check on builds or work items. But when you have 4-5 solutions, it becomes tricky to deal with. You might expand some f...
Hi all, I want to pass a project to a colleague without SCC bindings to avoid accidental changes in my repository. Is it possible to do a clean checkout from a TFS 2008 repo? I'm going crazy finding such an option in VS2008. Thanks in advance. ...
Hi, I have been looking for a way to migrate and upgrade our TFS 2008 server to 2010 server preferably without losing any data.

We just got TFS installed and ready go. I'm trying to decide on the disk structure. Let's suppose I have two BizTalk projects called Common and BookTransfer (in actuality I have 7).

With VS2010's mandate that web.config be included in the project, how do we allow everyone to keep their own custom config file without getting into source control problems? Previously, we would simply leave web.config out of our project, allowing everyone to keep their own local version of web.config on their machine. We moved to VS201...
I'd like to take the entirety of the test results and publish it to a database. Got the database, got the table, got the script to publish it. Question is, at what point in the ms-test cycle would the results be fully written to the file? And how can I get the path to that file? I'd especially like to grab the "TextMessages" node and put...
Hi all, I've got a requirement from a client - They need to generate a document based on a work item's attachments (also word documents). Is such a thing possible? I assume that it will require the use of TeamSpec, or another TFS-to-Word exporter. If this is possible, I'd like to know if I can make the resulting document based on a ...
With the Debugging Tools for Windows you can run SSIndex.cmd against your symbol files and it will embed the command to retrieve each source code file from the TF server.

Hi, I spent a great many hours trying to work out why my project builds with the default (blank) configuration on TFS2010 but tells me there's no output path if I set it to anything. In the end, I realised that in the .csproj file the configuration is written as AnyCPU while for TFS the proposed drop-down value is Any CPU (notice the s...
Hi, I am looking for a fancy way the print individual work items in TFS. OK ... maybe not the work item directly but I need to produce printable forms based on data on a work item. And by fancy I mean: header, footer, formatting, tables maybe ... stuff like that. No, I am not trying to print a list of work items, read carefully, I need...

Hi, I've got a solution with Silverlight projects, a couple Web applications and some Windows service and their small Winforms test applications.

I'm building this iPhone application to connect to a secured TFS server (one that requires authentication before letting you access its web services).
