Just installed TFS 2008. Created a project with portal site. When I create a bug in TFS from Visual Studio I'd like to see that bug in the web portal. And the other way around. When I add a task in the web portal I'd like to see that in Visual Studio. It's as if the web portal is not connected to TFS. I'm using the MSF for Agile Softwar...
I checked some files out for edit about a week ago and I want to check them in or revert my changes. Before I do that want to see what I've changed, but when I compare them, the local copy of the original file is no longer on my machine.

What's the purpose of the Check-In Notes? Why use them instead of just the "Comment" you enter when you check-in. I see there are four types of Check-In Notes: Code Reviewer, Developer, Security Reviewer, and Performance Reviewer. Is the idea to put in the name of these reviewers or some actualy comments by these people. Does this...

Our TFSVersionControl database has grown significantly in the past couple years, and is edging on 80GB. Unfortunately, we're in an environment where every gig of data storage is internally charged at a high rate, so there's lots of focus on keeping storage growth to a minimum. I believe the majority of growth is happening because we ch...

Hi, having a weird problem with TFS (TFS2008). We've done a merge into our Main trunk. We've resolved the conflicts and we've checked in associating it with a single work item. So we have our WorkItem with a single changeset in it. Our build is failing because the previous version of the csproj file is being got from TFS. If I open th...
I seem to have a situation where code that I put into the BeforeBuild target is not successfully executing. Here is what I have: <Target Name="BeforeBuild" > <Message Text="Before Build" /> </Target> I can’t see the message output in the build log when the build runs. Is there something wrong with the way I’ve formatted this, or...
I am working on some reports that retrieve the area paths for a particular project from the TfsWorkItemTracking database. I want to retrieve those area paths in the same order as which they are displayed in the Team Explorer. (If you're using Team Explorer via VS 2008, and you right-click on a TFS Project, it will give you some options t...
Is it possible to move a work item from one project to another inside TFS? I’ve seen a copy option, but no move. Also, if it is possible, what’s the implication for any of the WI history? I found this article from 2008 that seem to say it's not, but I wondered if there'd been any progress since then. ...

I am planning on creating the new (correct) team project and moving source code from $WrongTeamProjectName to $CorrectTeamProjectName. Will it be safe for me to delete...

How can I use Resharper without adding the Resharper generated files to the TFS server. Is there some sort of .ignore file/setting I can let the TFS maintainer modify. Or is it done client-side? We're using TFS 2008, but will be upgrading to TFS 2010 in the near future. ...
In our releases sometimes it is necessary to run scripts on our production db. The standard has been to attach a .sql file to the work item if a script needs to be run on the db. Is there any way I can query for Work Items which contain an attachment that is a .sql file? I'd prefer not to have to open each Work Item to check for these ...
Hi all, I am trying to call TF get command via Tem Build script. I am getting the following error Unable to determine the workspace.
