Hi, As an avid user of GIT, I've come to absolutely love its branch support, in particular being able to visualise all the branches in a repository over time. Unfortunately though we have a requirement to use TFS, but I know it has some strong visualisation features. I know you can visualise 'ChangeSets', but as far as I'm aware, this...
I want to delete one file, e.g. Foo1.aspx, then rename another, Foo2.aspx, as Foo1.aspx. However, even after the deletion, I can't rename Foo2.aspx, presumably because TFS keeps around the original for recovery purposes. Is there a way to do this, other than selecting the contents of Foo2. aspx and pasting it into Foo1.aspx? ...
When I try to open my .sln file, Visual Studio quits on me. I can open it by opening up TFS, getting a specific version, choosing the latest version, forcing an overrwrite, opening up the .sln file, and then ignoring an 'incompatible doc message". However, I would like to know what's wrong and how it can be fixed, in case some day I can...
Hey all, My colleagues and I have been wondering the best way to do this for quite some time: what's a good/standard way to maintain .NET assemblies that are referenced in multiple projects?

TFS Build 2010 uses an internal build number. It's similar to $(Rev:.r). $(Rev:.r) increases in each day while internal build number are increased in other way. The questions are: What is the official name of "internal build number"? How to access "internal build number" in macro format in order to use in "Build Number Format" in a bu...
Let say i have a CMMI bug in TFS2010 and I give it an original estimate of 40. I create 2 linked (child) work items of type Task and give it each an original estimate of 10 and 30.

I'm working on a Visual Studio 2010 add-in, and I'm trying to figure out how to determine the currently connected TFS server. I'm guessing I need to use DTE, but I'm having a brain cramp figuring out where to get the info. Any help is, of course, appreciated. EDIT: Actually, I may have found the answer, which I culled from a couple p...
