Some blog entries/examples suggest using 'tf changeset /latest /i msbu...
I have been using SourceGear vault for some personal projects and Team Foundation Server for work projects. One thing TFS is missing is a simple feature that Vault has on its check in dialog window. In the Vault client, you can see if the checked out file changed from the previous version checked in. Here is a screen shot. Notice the co...
When I import a Work Item Type from Team Review, I get this error: TF218007: Cannot import the work item type. It changes fields in team projects in which you do not have permissions to make changes.

We currently have an application that is in two peices. One is a c++ solution that complies down to a com assembly. The other solution is our .net app that refrences the com assembly.

I have serveral build tasks set up in TFS 2008. Intermittently (and constantly at present) the builds fail with the message: TF209011: Could not create drop location \server\share\BuildName_20100729.6: The semaphore timeout period has expired. Both the TFS and drop location server are VMs, not sure if this is likely to be part of the i...
I'm currently trying to find out if there is a way to allow our nightly build application users to submit bug items to TFS. Everything is developed and used within our private network so there aren't any security issues of that nature that I am aware of. I don't necessarily need them to be able to assign the bug specifics, but give a t...

We recently migrated to TFS 2010, and have created a new Team Project. (The old one was created in 2005, and seems to be missing key metadata to allow full functionality in 2010). We've copied all our source, and have figured out how to copy our work items to the new team project, but we can't figure out how to migrate our build defini...

I am running a build using TFS 2008 to build a Visual Studio 2010 solution. The build is set to run unit tests, and when it does, it creates a folder such as this to hold the test results: D:\Temp\MyApp\MyApp.Dev\TestResults\MyAccount_MyBuildServerName 2010-07-29 18_07_00_Any CPU_Release\Out\ Is there a built-in property I can use in ...
I need to get VS 2010 projects that are using Visual Studio Tests building on a TFS 2008 build server. I didn't want to have to install VS 2010 but am now willing to do so after trying the advice one person posted here: http://www.richard-banks.org/2009/11/how-to-build-vs2010-solutions-using.html and some other posts I've found bu...
I want to copy a project out of TFS so I can "stuff around" with it locally without affecting any of the server files. How do I do this? Please answer this simple question ...
We have 50+ projects divided into 2 solution trees managed by TFS (Version: Visual Studio 2008 / TFS RTM (9.0.21022.8)). 30+ projects are Visual Studio 2008 projects and others are Visual Studio 2010 New projects use some older assemblies via references to binaries. During developing new projects we have to make changes into older a...
in my current job we have a very complicated process to pass stuff to production to production (we use TFS, and a lot of tiny apps to generate labels, store the store procedures code, etc) but it's necesary have some controls because we be ruled by SOX, so, what could be a good aproach to have a simple and clean source control (and a ve...
