I had edits on my local machine which had it's own workspace. The machine then crashed. Luckily I was able to recover the edits from the harddrive and place them on my new machine. The TFS admin deleted my old workspace while there were still pending edits associated with it. How can I remove the edits from that deleted workspace? ...
Hello, I was recently tasked with creating a branching plan for our project, and part of that involved creating a few feature branches and release branches. I also had to clean up the source control tree so that the branches could be self contained. I basically started with this: / ./src ./model ./processtemplates ./data ./o...
I was developing team project and suddenly realised that i've made so many changes, that i need create branch. I've never used branching in TFS and when i saw "Branch\ "From Workspace version" i thought that's, what i need. But this option doesn't act as i supposed. How can i create new branch, from my "LOCAL COPY of Project" and incl...

Hi, I'm working with MS-Test for my unit tests writing. most of my tests have a duration of less than 0.1 seconds. I want to somehow tell VS "ignore the tests that take a long time to run when i'm running the tests manually, and when you run them on the build do not ignore them. I know that in nunit there is an "explicit" attribute tha...
We're a small shop and have legacy VB6, Classic .ASP, .NET 1.2 - 3.51. We installed the product successfully, but since depending on the code which needs changing we fire up the respective IDE Visual Studio x. How do we go from no source control to TFS? ...
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 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? ...
This is a feature I'm used to from TeamCity - I could specify that a certain build configuration will be triggered by the success of another build configuration. I could even pass the results of one build to another - but perhaps this is asking too much. I'm looking for a similar functionality in TFS2008, is there a way to set a trigge...
We created Main with two subdirectories, BizTalk and WebServices. Then we branched Main to Dev. Our webservice developer (long gone) either renamed WebServies to WCFServices or deleted WebServices and added WCFServies. Now, when I attempted to Merge WCFServices, there is no item to pick on the drop down for the "Target Branch". Ho...
TFS was setup on a VM and we have 6 devs that are using it. We've been going for over a year. We have to move the VM to a new data center and the IP address is going to change. We all referenced the TFS server by it's IP instead of HOST or DNS (yes, i know!) Everything is hardcoded as the IP address. How do we update the local config to...

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...
The reason I'm asking is that I want to test something, that I expect will generate a number of commits, totalling a lot of data, and since it's only a test, I don't want to leave them permanently in the database. Do I have to set up a temporary TFS server for this, or can I just delete the project afterwards and expects its disk space ...
Hi all, I'm trying to add 3 fields to some Work Item templates in my TFS 2010 project so we can do simple release notes documents generated via reporting services.
