Would you like to overwrite it with the store version, or leave your local copy?" With the options Overwrite, Overwrite All, Leave and...
In TFS2010 each build is associated with a label by the build server. Our SCM management wants to see all the changesets and related workitems between two labels. Mostly those labels are builds that have a build quality "Released". This way all changes between two delivered builds can be reported. How is this done in TFS 2010 ? ...
It could be good to have a work item view that showed the description of that work item plus each comment associated with the item in chronological order. This view could also include links and attachments (mixed in with the comments, in chronological order). Is it possible to customize "History" tab for Bug/Task work items? How to do t...
Hi I have an TFS server installation that through time has gone through upgrades from TFS 2005 to TFS 2008 and then to TFS 2010. During the lifetime of the installation a lot of projects have been created and different project templates have been used. MSF Agile 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 5.0. and a few MSF CMMI ones. What I would like to do is...
I have a web system that has a few hooks into our TFS work item system. One of the things I am trying to do is that when a certain action is performed, it takes the current text in one field and makes a comment in the "General Comments" field announcing what the field was previously (Yes I know, history contains this but the higher ups ...
My main domain account does not have local admin privileges and I start Visual Studio using RunAs and another account that has local admin privileges. Our Team Foundation Server (2008) is configures to recognise the main domain accounts not the local admin accounts. This means I have to log into TFS after starting VS with the admin ac...

For every release we would like to round up all the work items that contain a .sql attachments to run on our staging server. Is there a way to query TFS? Or is this something that has to be done directly to the TFS server database? Any suggestions? We're using Team Foundation Server 2010 RTM. ...

Is there any way to get TFS to display friendly names rather than user names in TFS Alerts (notifications) ? Our company uses ID numbers as usernames, which makes the alerts next to useless until I go into TFS through Visual Studio and dig up the changesets and view the metadata on it. Actually, even then, the history still isn't very u...
Hi guys, I have recently migrated one of my solution from SVN+CruiseControl to TFS2010. My build definition is using the Defaul Template. And I would like to customise the template. Since I have never worked with workflows before I decided to start by printing a simple message in the build log. For this purpose, I have added a WriteBuil...
Is it possible to enforce that every check-in to TFS has an associated unit test with it? Even if the associated unit test is just a shell? I don't want to allow code to be checked in without the code first having an associated unit test class. I am using TFS 2010 ...
My intention is to create a new field. Actually I need few fields: "AdditionalAnswer required" with values "yes" and "no"; "Custom Level" with any text value from the list "1-cool", "2-middle", "3-low". Type for both of them should be 'string'. I've exported work item type, and added the new field. Now the problem is that I don't se...
