I'm not 100% sure it wasn't always this way and I never noticed... but I'm pretty sure this is new and something got messed up somewhere. I am able to assign work items to a user named LOCAL SERVICE (see screenshot) in TFS 2008 (Workgroup Edition). This seems wrong, but I have no idea how to fix the issue. It's not the end of the worl...
We're using TFS and we're having problems when we switch branches, it's throwing up problems with the TFS bindings every single time. We still have .vspcc files .vsscc files which is I'm guessing where it stores the bindings, does anyone have any advice on how to easily switch between branches in TFS without pain? ...
Is there a good application that ties into TFS to allow users of your application to submit bug reports or software change requests? Are there any good 3rd party applications that tie into TFS using the provided API? I would like to good application to submit bugs to and then assign them to people in TFS. ...

We want to focus on having senior .Net members help junior .Net members learn tools and technologies. We want to learn how to use or better use the following software: Team Foundation...
I am creating a simple web app for TFS2008, so I am using the "Microsoft.TeamFoundation.*" assemblies to access TFS. Everything was working really great until I decided to move it from my machine to a separate Win2003 server. In fact, it was a clean server with latest updates applied. So, I copied my application's binaries and tried t...
Is it possible for a TFSBuild to replace part of your web.config settings with another section? Is this generally handled by a copy (overwrite) task on AfterBuild or AfterDropBuild where the parts of the web.config have been extracted out into their own seperate files? UPDATE Mid '10... If you're using Visual Studio 2010, it now comes...
Let's say someone checkedout some files and then he/she undo the checkout. Can I find those undo checkout tracks in TFS history? Where? ...
I'm seeing some weird behavior from VS2008 integrate with TFS 2008. When I delete a file from a solution from within the Solution Explorer and check it in, the file still appears in the Source Control Explorer. In the Source Control Explorer the file appears having the value 'delete' under the Pending Change column. It also appears in t...
We are using Scott Hansleman's suggestion for multiple web.configs from his post here. The problem we have is that we have to check out the Web.Config. If we remove it from the project, when we publish, no web.config is pushed. So we need to remove the source control bindings just from the web.config, but leave it in the project, and ...
Hi, We are having two problems with Visual Studio Team System 2008. Very rarely, if we make changes to our source code, and we try to upload it to the server, it doesn't recognize the changed files, and doesn't upload them. Even worse, we also have a database file (extension .bak) that does not seem to get uploaded to the server, no m...
Setting up CI within Microsoft Team Foundation Server, I have a build that will build the solution and execute all of the unit tests within the solution. Currently the build will show as partially succeded if the build is successful and an of the unit test fail. I would like to show the build as failed when a unit test fails. Can anyo...
The Sprint Burndown Chart says I have about 150 hours outstanding. The Sprint Cumulative Flow Chart suggests that I have about: 100 hrs 'Not Done' 150 hrs 'In Progress' 50 hrs 'Ready For Test' If I sum up the actual SBIs in the sprint I get the following numbers... 100 hrs 'Not Done' 50 hrs 'In Progress' 5 hrs 'Ready For Test' C...
I'm writing a hook for Git that will let me select workitems from TFS 2008 and inject them into the commit message from Git. I've already written a stub so that I can develop my functionality without referencing TFS 2008. However, when creating the real thing, how do I get a copy of the desired Team Foundation assemblies on my local co...
We have a project with many developers. Some use Visual Studio 2008 Professional with TFS Client, others use Visual Studio 2008 Team System. We have checkin policies that there should be a comment and it should be connected to a work item. Some of the developers with Visual Studio 2008 Professional are getting the following error: ...
I have a project stored in TFS Source Control (2008) that is being worked on by 2 developers. All 3 versions (Developer1, Developer2 and Server) are up to date with each other. However, both Developers report that some files in Solution Explorer say 'Checked out by someone else or in another place' - but the same files viewed in Source C...
We created a copy of our production TFS to test various applications we build internally for our needs. Thus, we created a fresh install of TFS and attached old databases to it. However, I noticed one strange thing: when I change a WI on our production TFS the change gets reflected on our copy, and vise versa. We do not have notificatio...
We are moving to TSF 2008 and I am wondering if there is something in TFS 2008 that will automate test cases. I was looking into Test Automation FX for recording tests from our in-house built UI that we want to test. Any other recommendations? Thanks. ...
Can I send the VSTS 2008 test results by email automatically after test run? ...
I asked this over at the MSBuild Extension Pack site, but I figured I would try to get some more eyes on it, in case someone else has had a similar experience: I have a pretty straightforward task that should execute a series of sql script files in a folder. (The task is in a file called OperationalDB.msbuild). The task looks like this...
Does the quality of code merged by TFS 2008 depend on the used programming language? I know merging in Java / Subversion, and merging a branch to its trunk usually does not create much conflicts. Now in my company, we use VB.NET. When I merge two files TFS does not always get code blocks right, e.g. does not find the right If..then / end...
