Has anyone here integrated Team Explorer Everywhere with Xcode?
I'm starting Macintosh development and I'm in a Microsoft shop where we're using Team Foundation Server. I've learned that there's no explicit/official TFS client for any non-Windows platform, and that the best option is to use Team Explorer Everywhere, formerly Teamprise (Microsoft bought them and rebranded it) and either the command-l...
Can't manually add files to TFS
We use Codesmith to generate some code, and when we open up the projects, the files are there, in the solution, but there is no way to check them in. The DLL compiles just fine. The only difference to the .csproj is the addition of any new files we generated. But unlike VSS, TFS, does not detect these files. I validated this behavi...
Tibco Designer integrate with TFS 2010
Hi, Has anyone tried to integrate Tibco Designer especially for BusinessWorks with Team Foundation Server 2010? At the moment, our Tibco designer is using VSS as its source safe control. We are planning to migrate the VSS to TFS 2010 but I could not find a solution to integrate Tibco Designer with the TFS 2010. Any help is appreciated....

Can't Open from Source Control in TFS
Hi, I don't know what happened here, but I wanted to open a project from a different Source Control or a different TFS server using VS 2010. From File->Source Control->Open From Source Control, I could find the PC where the TFS server is running, however, the OK button is disabled or can't be clicked, even if the WorkSpace and Local Pa...
TFS Branch-Per-Feature Strategy That Fits Multiple Environments With Independent Feature Timetables
There are several/many questions regarding TFS branching strategy, but I am haven't been able to come up with a strategy that fits with my scenario. My TFS project consists of a single solution that contains a Web Project, a Business Layer Project, and a Data Layer Project. The project is a portal of reports. Reports are largely isola...

How do I merge text in visual studio 2010?
Howdy, To preface this I am an Emacs refugee on Visual Studio 2010's shores and am certain that I am working against the tool. Please could someone point me in the right direction. My problem is the MyProject.csproj file is kept under version control using TFS and my coworkers have made a number of changes that no longer get along wit...

When I open a TFS Query with hierarchical results in Visual Studio 2010, the nodes are expanded by default. I can click the button to collapse them, but is there a setting or extension that will open query results with all nodes collapsed by default? ...
Managing users in the TFS work items "Assigned To" field
So I know there have been a couple of posts around about this topic, but I don't think they've quite got to the bottom of it! So my problem is that when I create a new work item in TFS, the users which I can assign it to include NT Authority\Local Service (which is also the TFS service account). I'm not asking why, as I know that this f...
How to set up TFS 2010 in Visual Studio 2010 Premium/Ultimate?
This might sound like a silly question but is there a manual or a guide on how to set up Team Foundation Server 2010 in Visual Studio 2010 Premium or Ultimate? It comes built-in right? I've only got up to the Server list part. It's asking me to select a TFS server and port, but I don't think I have one. All I have installed is Visual St...

TFS 2010 - anyway to restrict editing of work items
Just installed TFS 2010 and noticed that the main text in work items can be edited. We'd like to freeze all editing of work items (except for admins), in order to keep a more auditable trail of discussion for each bug and minimize confusion over what the original bug was, etc. Is there a way to configure TFS 2010 so that the main text ...

How to find a TFS alert not set up by you
Someone has 'helpfully' set up a TFS 2008 Alert for a build on my behalf. I want to turn it off but no one will own up and I can't find it. Reading the docs suggests only the creator can see it. Is there anyway to find it? ...
Disable warning that solution is not under source control?
Shamefully, we use TFS at work for a C# project. I wish we could move to svn or git, but we can't change that. All of us working on the project hate the automatic check-out "feature" of TFS, so we checked in our solution and project files as unbound from TFS. Now, whenever we open the project, we get the following message: The sol...
Hosted source code repositories
I primarily work on small, personal projects. One of my challenges has been source code repository maintenance. I have used the basic version of Team Foundation Server provided by my MSDN license and while it works great, it's not ideal (I'm not doing backups like I should, etc). I'd really rather pay to have it hosted. I like TFS, b...
Is it possible to set up TFS 2010 to do gated checkins but use NAnt as the build engine?
We are currently using TFS as our source code repository, but I prefer NAnt as my build engine over MSBuild. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to use NAnt for the build engine but still get the benefits of having a TFS gated check-in build? ...
