I am trying to get TFS 2008 to send me email notifications - primarily when a build fails. I have tried right-clicking on the project in Team Explorer, choosing Team Alerts and I have checked the "A build completes" item. It has my correct email address in the "Send to" field. I have also tried using the "Alerts" node that comes with Pow...

For more information, look at this blog post. We can do this, as we are adhering to the ...
We have TFS 2008 but use Visual Studio 2005. I would like to use some of the features from tfpt.exe 2008 but when I try to install tfpt, it will not install the commandline tool. My guess is that it won't install it because I don't have Visual Studio 2008. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know how to get around this? Since we us...

As the resident TFS admin, on occasion I am asked to undo a checkout (usually a lock) that a user has on a certain file. This can be done via the command line using the TF.exe utility's Undo command (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c72skhw4.aspx), but that's kind of a pain. Is there a way to undo another user's checkout via...

As part of my TFS (2008) build I want to manually copy the binaries and Views of an ASP.NET MVC project to a number of different locations. All existing binaries and views are copied successfully.

Hi, I've created a tfsbuild.proj file that builds a release version of my solution and in it I have created a custom target for BuildNumberOverrideTarget that handles custom versioning. I store the version number in a file location in TFS and the custom task will get the version number, check out the assemblyinfo.cs files, edit the vers...
Hi guys, My laptop crashed this morning, badly, and I spent most of the day running HDD checks and I'm now back on track, to a degree. Anyway, VS now seems to think that my projects are checked out by source control (I have VSTS 2k8) and will not allow me to add anything to the project. I can open and edit existing files, and even there...
I’m trying to set up Team Foundation Build and so far it’s running ok with builds, tests and code analysis. My problem is, that I can’t figure out how to build just a subset of the projects included in the solution. I know how to use the configuration manager to create custom solution configuration that will build/deploy a selection of...
I would like to get some visibility of what changes have gone into our TFS build. Is there some way of finding out all of the resolved work items that have gone into the last X number of builds up to a certain date? Could this be done by creating some kind of TFS report or query. If so, has this been done before? [UPDATE] I have disco...

One of the three projects is a test project, which contains unit tests for one of the other projects (a class library). Team Build is running fine, just the three ...
