I noticed that the DLLs in the bin folder for asp.net websites do not seem to be getting saved. When I goto a new computer and get latest I am missing the DLLs. What is the correct way to fix this ? Should I create a seperate folder to contains all DLLs ? And then can I somehow tell my bin references to goto that folder to get the DLLs...
Hi all. I have a solution the source Control (TFS 2008) with multiple projects. Some of the projects are independent of each other. I dont want to build the complete solution instead sometimes we need to build some of the projects. I am a total newbie in Team Build. Please help how i can use the <SolutionToBuild Include="$(BuildProje...
I just migrated a team of 7 developers from VSS to TFS. I migrated all of their code into a DEV folder which I then branched into a QA folder (which I branched into a PROD folder). The developers usually don't work on the same files, but there are some shared utility classes. All of the code is for a large ASP.NET web site. When the dev...
MSBuild in TFS 2010 has been replaced by Windows Workflow 4.0. It means when you are creating a Build Definition, you won't have a TFSBuild.proj to edit instead you must edit a workflow to customize your build. BTW am I correct if I say Microsoft is not supporting MSBuild in TFS 2010 and learning MSBuild as a TFS 2010 Team Build adminis...
As the title says, I just finished my first year of college (majoring in Software Engineering). Fortunately my school likes Microsoft enough, and I can get pretty much anything I want that Microsoft sells. I also can get IBM Websphere and the like for free as well. Earlier this year, I set up an oldish computer (2.6 Pentium D, x64) to...
Ive been using sourcegear vault and subversion/visual svn for quite a while now and am a big fan of the CVS disconnected style "Edit -> Merge -> Commit" way of using source control. Since we moved to TFS 2010 i have been reintroduced to the horrid "checkout -> edit -> checkin" sourcesafe style way of working. Meaning only one user can ...
I have a large project which I branched to make some changes to the branch. Now I worked on the branch for a while and never branched back to the main. Then I switched back to the main and continued to add more features to the main. Now I need to work again on the previous branch, however I think I need to first update the branch with th...
Suppose I have a main branch and a dev branch. Suppose I merge some stuff from dev into main. I check in the merge Now I decide "whoops, the dev branch wasn't really ready for me to merge into main yet." I want to tell TFS: remove that change set from main and forget that the merge ever happened. Rolling back the changeset is ea...
I'm working on a TFS utility that gets the changesets for a particular project in TFS. I've got a home TFS 2010 server which I primarily use for testing, but I decided to give it a try against a codeplex project to which I contribute. That way, I can test functionality against a larger number of changesets than I have locally. While i...
Given a changeset number of Visual Studio Team Foundation System 2008, is there an easy way to find out which files in my project/solution were edited in the changeset? ...
Hello: In our TFS implementation, if I create a bug report, in the "assigned to" dropdown, I can see machine accounts (the backup account, and a few others that are mandated by our IT department). I assume that these accounts appear because they are assigned admin privileges to the local server, and so they are team foundation server a...
All, I'm currently in the process of attempting to create a repeatable process for the upgrade of a TFS 2008 installation to new hardware in what Microsoft call a migration upgrade, but am experiencing issues when building the VS 2008 projects on the new hardware. Our TFS 2008 installation consists of two machines; one which houses the...
In Visual Studio 2005, in the TFS Source Control Explorer, these is a top-level node for the TFS Server itself, with a child node for each Team Project. Right-clicking either the server node or the node for a Team Project gives a context menu on which there is a View History item. Selecting this gives you a History window showing the las...
I'm wondering how I search history for any changeset that contains a change (diff) between the file and it's previous version with the word "foobar" in it. In other words, and more specifically, I want to find the changeset that removed a subscription to an event. Clearly the change won't be in the class raising the event, and because t...
We have succesfully built our TFS 2010 infrastructure and the first VM using Visual Studio 2010. Now I have a very simple question. How I can move a solution from our existing TFS 2008 to the new one 2010? Is there any tool included in TFS? ...
How do you get a list of all new files added to a visual studio project and checked in to TFS? I've tried using TFS sidekicks and view history, but they only show changesets which you have to open up to see the details. I'm simply after a list of new files in a particular branch. Thanks ...
I'm trying desperately to move from VSS to a real source control system. Options include TFS and SVN. My designers need to keep their ability to modify source files and instantly preview their changes in a browser without having to commit their changes. Using FPSE with VSS, this works flawlessly, since saving a file causes the copy in ...
Any idea how to unmap a project? Here is what I am trying to do, I changed the location of a source control, completely removed it from TFS source control.. but now it is showing up wanting to add it.. And the other issue I'm having is.. when I try to Map the new project, it is giving this error.. thing is, I've completely deleted th...
Hi, I am currently experimenting with TFS, and I really like it. One small question, regarding test files: I have a directory with some demo TXT, images, dirs... These are used during tests, so up until now, the path was hardcoded to a folder on my computer. Now I need to change this, of course, the TFS need access to the files too. My...
I'm having a bizarre problem with Visual Studio 2008. I wanted to debug one of the libraries that my web application references. Therefore, I decide to add the project containing the library to my solution so that I can debug them together. The project containing my library sits at c:\webLibs\myproj.vbproj. However, when I try to add...
