My team is currently working on an ASP .NET website. We are one of the first teams in our organization to use TFS2008 for source control. When I joined the project, it had already been active for a few months. Below is a diagram of the basic file structure we are using in TFS: $/TfsProject/ | | /* Contains our in-house class libraries...
I'm trying to exclude a series of files from a custom deployment step in my TFS 2008 build definition. I want to include all files except those starting with either P0 or P1. Here are some of my attempts... <ItemGroup> <FilesToCopy Include="$(BinariesRoot)\Debug\*.*" Exclude="$(BinariesRoot)\Debug\P0*.*;$(BinariesRoot)\Debug\P1*.*" />...
We have a web project we are working on using TFS and we are kind of new to it (TFS). One of my teammates is unable to see a particular page (three associated files) in the IDE. To the rest of us, it looks as though it is checked out to her. When she ran the unlock command through the console, it returned that the files for the page w...
I'm relatively new to TFS and perhaps because I'm a novice, I'm not too thrilled with its behaviour. Scenario: I copy a source tree from the TFS server to my local hard drive. I open a solution from my local hard drive by browsing to the .sln file. From the vs Solution Explorer I double-click a .cs file. Even though I'm just looking...
In a C# class library, and set of tests. Everything was going well until I added a new set of tests - they run correctly on my machine, but fail on the TFS Build server. The stack trace in the build log makes no sense - the constructor of one class appears to be mapped to one of it's methods. If my class looks a little like this: 1. p...

I want to be able to switch the array to a list and then be able to show what is selected out of the list by the parameter the user selects. Can someone help please?? :) ...
I have a few fairly involved work item queries saved in "My Queries" in TFS. I don't want to make them Team Queries because we have too many of those already and most of the team doesn't care about these particular queries. Is there a way to share these queries with the one other member of the team who is interested. Is there a way to...
When I'm trying to connect to tfs I got the following error: --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- Team Foundation Server TF31001: Team Foundation cannot retrieve the list of team projects from Team Foundation Server UGSERVER. The Team Foundation Server returned the following error: Team Founda...
I am trying to get from State "A" to State "X". There are transitions in place that prevent me from just going to X. I can export the WorkItemType as XML and work on that, but before I do that, I thought I would ask if there is a way to get at the Transitions via the API. ...

First i tried to get the latest files from the TFS , but shows a dialog box stating that i have all the latest files. Then i tried to getting the latest through Get Specific Version, still i was unable to get the latest files. I even tried deleting the workspace. ...
I have a folder in Team Foundation Server with several sub-folders: candidates beta1 beta2 rc1 ga I'd like to move three of them under a new folder: candidates defunct beta1 beta2 rc1 ga Each folder contains tens of thousands of files of various sizes. They are all branches of some other folder. I don't have them checked ou...
I will explain my question with an example. Lets consider TFS "Bug" work item type. In the bug work item type there is a "Developer" and "Tester" dropdown. Using the inbuilt rule types we can only assign "VALIDUSER" to each drop down. This displays all the windows user in the drop down. I want to be able to create a custom subteam under ...
I'm trying to figure out a way to find out which files were affected by a work item in TFS 2008. I realize that this is a duplication of a question already asked by someone else here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2219282/view-a-list-of-all-files-changed-as-part-of-a-workitem-in-tfs but it went unanswered and I've been, off and o...

Every release I find it a good practice to go back and grab all the changeset notes to compare to the release notes to make sure we didn't miss anything. Since we have a blurb of all feature changes pretty well documented in the changeset notes, they're a valuable resource. What I haven't found is a good way to extract these from TFS 2...
A very small portion of our codebase is some legacy Java code. I'm trying to add a new build that would invoke ant to build this project. The first problem is that TFS doesn't allow you to create a build that doesn't build a .Net solution. I got around this by copying a previous build file and adding an EndToEndIteration task which is...

I need to add few new fields and have a customized form. From search I got information about Work Item Type definition but I am looking for some detailed example. Also I would l...
