TFS 2010 and older versions of projects

Hi I have a couple of questions related to TFS and source control: 1) I was wondering if TFS2010 supports older versions of projects, such as projects from Visual Studio 2008, and whether it can build those projects normally. 2) I'm also curious about upgrading. Can I just upgrade my existing TFS 2008 to 2010 without installing the n...

does TFS easily allow you to share testresults with people who don't have TFS?

I'd like to publish a set of test results to a place where team members who don't have TFS can see the results. Does TFS do anything like this easily?

How can I check which branches a TFS 2008 changeset has been merged into?

I have some changesets in a TFS 2008 branch which were not merged back into trunk. Time has passed, and now no-one is entirely sure which changesets have made it into trunk.

We have a local Team Foundation Server 2008 that we keep our code under version control. However, we also have a paranoid client that has their own Visual Source Safe installation that wants us to keep a running copy of the code on their server as well.

My scenario is this: I am currently testing out a new Team Foundation Server 2010 installation; which we will be moving to shortly.

Visual Studio 2010 and TFS 2008: Building unit test projects

Hi, We are currently taking VS2010 for a testdrive and so far we are a little stumped with how it just won't cooperate with our existing Team Foundation Server 2008.
