I'm currently using Team Foundation Server 2008 as a source control and build engine. When I checkin some changes and associate the change with a work item the work item flow I've defined changed the status from active to ready for test. Unfortunately this is not accurate as it's not actually ready for test until a build is completed. Is...
In TFS Source Control Explorer, in some projects the "New Folder" and "Add Files" icons are visibles, and for other projects they are not. I'm a contributor in both, and I can check in solutions in both, and not an admin for either. What could possibly be making the icons go "dim". Is it security? Or some other combination of rules...
In TFS 2008, I am trying to modify a build script (TFSBuild.proj). I get the following warning: The element 'PropertyGroup' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003' has invalid child element 'TeamProject' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003'. Which is correct, The element Proper...
I use the TFS 2008 build facilities. I have a large MSBuild project (TFSBuild.proj) and I wanted to split it into a few files because it is becoming hard to maintain. I found a strange behavior; when I extracted one of the targets (BeforeInitializeWorkspace) to a separate file and then imported it into the main *.proj file, it was not e...
I have a TFS 2008 Build Agent that has been used to build .Net 3.5 applications. I now have a .Net 4.0 app which i want to compile on the same build agent.

We are having extreme problems with our TFS 2008 server. We run our build on a separate machine but just recently it has started to fail with ever increasing frequency - about 4 out of 5 builds fail. They fail at various points during the build process and give a variety of messages, all of which terminate with the line "The underlying c...
When I try to start the TFS 2008 Build service on the port 9191 I get the following error message: Windows could not start the Visual Studio Team Foundation Build service on Local Computer. Error 1227: The network transport endpoint already has an address associated with it. If I use another port it works, but I need i...
I am using Visual Studio 2008 with TFS. I have one workspace set up with one working folder. I map the root source control folder $/ to C:\TFS and get all code. When working on any project under the root, Visual Studio will randomly add incorrectly mapped working folders to my workspace. For example, it might map $/WebProject/ to C:\T...

Currently my TFS build agent using the current date as the build name. For example, "Intranet_20100707.1" would be today's first build. Currently I use "1.2.*" as my assembly version number where 1 and 2 are manually incremented. How can I sync the build names with my application's version number? ...

A source control server is already in place that is being used for version Management(later referred as Data Ti...

I'm trying to create a CI process for SQL Server Reporting Services. I am fairly new to TFS but quite experienced with MSBuild. In the past I've used a combination of MSBuild with Team City so the whole build process is more or less custom. Here lies the start of my problems, as the solution I am deploying only contains Report Server p...
All, I'm currently in the process of attempting to create a repeatable process for the upgrade of a TFS 2008 installation to new hardware in what Microsoft call a migration upgrade, but am experiencing issues when building the VS 2008 projects on the new hardware. Our TFS 2008 installation consists of two machines; one which houses the...
We currently use TFS2008 for our source control, bug tracking, and tasks. The TFS2008 server is located in a remote data center. Locally, we have Visual Studio 2010 installed on the developer's machines. Is there a way to install TFS2010 so that we can run Test Manager but still tie into the work items and source code on the remote 2008...

How do you get a list of all new files added to a visual studio project and checked in to TFS? I've tried using TFS sidekicks and view history, but they only show changesets which you have to open up to see the details. I'm simply after a list of new files in a particular branch. Thanks ...
