It looks at the info...
How to run ASP.NET sites remotely on tfs server? ...
At my company we have recently set up a TeamFoundation proxy to our TeamFoundationServer. I have written a C# app, that connects to the TFS to query various things. Now, I want the app to support connection over the TFS proxy as well. As I am not really familiar with TFS, I am having some difficulties. Ideally, I want the application to ...
Hello, I would like to setup a symbol / source server at our company but I have not access to the TFS build machine because this is managed from another department (I'm a developer and this is managed by the Release Engineering). Can I setup the symbol / source server in another machine that takes the results of the TFS build machine t...
I'd like to set up a TFS 2008 build in a way that it runs on every check-in and also nightly. The thing is that I'd like to keep the output from the build only for the nightly builds (with the check-in builds only acting as verification). What is the best/suggested way of skipping the CoreDropBuild step conditionally? ...
When i create a branch from the mainline in TFS 2010 i have to download all of the code i have just branched. I already have the latest mainline version on my laptop so why is TFS requiring me to effectively download whats already on my hard disk? Even if i copy the mainline files into a folder and map the new branch to this folder i...
When queuing a new build using VS it is possible to pass in arguments to MSBuild which let's you do thing like skipping some steps of the build or do some things conditionally. Is it possible to pass in such arguments to a build that's triggered by a checkin or a nightly build? ...
I have VS 2008 Team Suite, and use TFS. I have references in 2 folders in TFS: path in TFS: $Arquitectura\Main\ReferenciasFrk\Release\ mapped to: C:\Trabajo\Arquitectura\Main\ReferenciasFrk\Release\ path in TFS: $Arquitectura\Main\Referencias Externas\ mapped to: C:\Trabajo\Arquitectura\Main\Referencias Externas\ I have project cspr...
It seems as though my scenario is about as simple as it can get. I have Main and a branch called Dev. I picked a directory in Dev that has only my code and did a Merge (based on all changesets up to a specific changeset. First question, does it immediately checkin the merge, or I should do a checkin right after that? I ask because o...
I have a 2010 TFS server on Windows 2003. I'd like to make the sharpoint portal available by a url that is other than the default machine name. It seems that any time I access the /tfs/web subdirectory with anything other than the default name then the TFS sharepoint objects don't load. They only load when I access the server by the N...
Is there an option or an addin for Team Foundation Server that will enable 'find in files' style searching within the repository? ...
TFS exposes a commmand line utility which covers most of the areas. However I am creating a script which will create the folder and branch structure within a specified project. For this i need to convert my Truck to a branch and then further create branches from there. I cannot find the command which does this. So far I have found this...
I've edited some files in Branch1 and found out I would like to check the pending changes in to a new branch, Branch2. Is this possible? I know I can create the branch as normally and then copy all the changed files to Branch2 by hand but that can be cumbersome. ...
Hello, I originally had my source code located at: c:\vs projects\myapp\dev 1.0 I had the workspace mapped there previously and worked on the project from there. However, my project architect wanted us to standardize the folder and not use versions in the folder names, so I changed it to: c:\vs projects\myapp Everything seemed to w...
This is with VS and TFS 2010. I have multiple TFS servers and multiple collections. When I launch VS, it connects to the "last used" collection. If I had multiple instances of VS open, connected to different collections, whichever exits last appears to "win" as the last used collection. This is annoying. Really what I want is multiple d...
I'm an experienced SVN user getting used to TFS at a new client site. The main problem I've had adjusting to the new tool is this - how can I get a listing of all files in my working copy that have changed from current/latest server revision, including added or deleted files? Essentially, I'm looking for the TFS equivalent of an "svn d...
Ok, I'm a big fan of Jira particularly the later versions as a knowledge management system to use across stakeholders and development in a corporate setting. However, I'd like to marry it with the usage of TFS 2010 - does anyone have experience of running both systems in parallel and was it a headache, did it make sense, etc? The task ...
We have been using MKS for a few years and now a new project has started up and has to use TFS. In MKS we can take a checkpoint (a baseline/snapshot) of a project and then create branches from that baseline if required, even at a later date after further checkpoints of that development line have taken place. How can I replicate this ...
In TFS 2010 we have a development branch where all development is done for one product. I want to merge some of these changes to a release candidate branch, so it can be tested and rolled out. Therefore I would like to merge all changesets that are linked to specific work items we want to put into the release candidate. I can track all ...
I would like to know if there's a way to move a project in one Team Foundation Server source control to a different source control on a separate Team Foundation Server? I don't want to have to copy the files to a different folder and map that folder to the new TFS server. I've tried removing the bindings and unmapping the local source ...
