In most defect trackers there is a comment history associated with a ticket/incident/issue/work item. I wish to get this same information from TFS via the SDK for a work item - ideally: Who created the comment. The text of the comment. Who last updated/edited the comment (if that's event possible in TFS?) I have determined that a Wo...

Hey guys. I'm trying to configure TFS2010 on a home server. I want to use TFS in such way: 1)Some contributers are working in a small home office working with the same domain name as a server on which TFS is installed. 2)Other contributers are working remote. And contribute code through the web, accessing the server through router. I ...
Hi, We recently split our current work into two different VS solutions, one which contains mainly the front-end stuff (aspx files, user controls and the like) and the other which contained mainly business logic to compile into assemblies and reference in the first solution. Since doing this we've been experiencing problems with version...
How does Perforce compare to Team Foundation Server (TFS). Here at work, we have used Perforce (Which I like very much btw) exclusively. On the other hand, I'm sorry I have never used TFS. I'm interested in TFS though, however I cannot make a judgement call as to the difference. What are the advantages of using each over the other? ...

I've created a new Team Project in TFS, but when I try to add my solution to it I get: 'Failed to create mapping Cannot map server path, $/Finance/MyApp, because it is not rooted beneath a team project.' I can't find anything on google or here that looks remotely like this problem. ...
We have appointed a new team lead who will be starting in the next few weeks. He has previously worked with TFS and is likely to want to use that for CI. The team is new to continuous integration so will take any advice he gives. Is there any reason to choose another system like CruiseControl or TeamCity, or are the features quite simila...
We've only recently begun using TFS (2008) with Visual Studio (2008). A couple of developers discovered the "Get everything when a solution or project is opened" option in VS and decided it was a good idea--and it would seem to be. However, we've been getting some curious results when opening some solutions. The solutions in question co...
What should I use for syncing TFS 2008 Work Items with an external database? I just want basic functionality such as creating and updating work items in TFS so that they match our QA department's bug tracking software. ...
Hi, Is there a way to provide credentials to get latest files from TFS using TF.exe command line utility? My company was recently took over by another company. After acquisition, my machine was imaged as per new company's policy. I will be able to access the old company's domain over VPN. The TFS server belongs to old company's and acces...
Hi, How can TFS 2010 improve my development process? For example, I use shelvesets to not lose checkin frequency but I can check in works in progress to shelvesets, thus not checking in code which breaks the build (check in gates help with this too). Is there anything else along these lines which helps improve the quality of projects? ...
Hi all, According to here and here TFS 2010 does not allow multiple project collections to use a same Build Controller. Why? I'm going to setup some another more build controller as virtual machines. But it seems somehow not practical. Because our company is going to have several project collections. Is it a good work-around? Is there a...
Hello. The title says it all. Compared with other task managing tools (especially web based ones) I find maintaining TFS' task system really uninspiring. Are there any third party front ends for managing tasks through it? Thanks ...

Anyidea how I can see that value for all the fields on my Work Items? ...

We are currently using TFS 2008 for source control and continuous integration. We use FXCop to check for checking performance and security warnings. The Architect or senior developer runs FX Cop at the end of a sprint or before a delivery. We would like this to run as part of the CI and fail the build if there is a warning, what is the...
We are currently experiencing significant waits in TFS database, and are trying to understand if these are as a consequence of the size of the tbl_Version version history table in the database. Currently this table contains just over 20 million records, and is taking up approximately 6GB of storage space (total index space is just over ...
We just upgraded to TFS 2010. We created a development branch for each project. If changes are made in Branch1 and then Branch1 is merged back into the baseline, it merges every file instead of just the changed files. Subsequent changes to files in Branch1 and then merging to the baseline result in only those changes being merged (which...
