Subscribing to TFSEventService with WCF (2010).

Has anyone created a WCF service that subscribes to the TFSEventService and listens for the WorkItemChangedEvent? There are a couple SO questions I found regarding this but from the small bit of info I could find it seems that 2010 might be slightly different and these two SO questions are from 2009 (1537302 and 1891773) so not sure if ...

TFS2010 Branching into a subfolder of another branch

We have a folder structure in our source control where some things are branched, and some aren't. The branched stuff follows a (standard?) pattern of Production, Main, Development branches plus the occasional branch for a large project. Sometimes as part of those large projects web branch some of the stuff that is normally not branch...

Team Build 2010 software requirements for VS 2008 clients

One of our TFS 2010 requirements is to support software projects that still use Visual Studio Team System 2008 for development. My question is whether a Build Server based on Team Build 2010 can compile 2008 code by itself. I mean connecting to TFS 2010 using Visual Studio Team Suite 2008, which means we are planning to install the Forwa...

Running a generic test after a successful build using vs and TFS 2010

I'm using team explorer under vs2010 to queue a build that is configured to run an automated test after the build. The automated test section is configured to use a vsmdi file that defines one testlist with one generic test that only opens calc.exe. Looking in the log, after the successful build, mstest generates the following error log...

Is there a support tool to make the code review task more interesting?

I'm so bored with the way I have to open my colleague's changesets and right click on a specific file and select "compare with previous/latest version" - only here will I reach the compare dialog ! I want this dialog as a side-by-side pane when viewing the changeset so that I can see quickly what changes my colleagues have made to the f...

Exporting TFS 2010 Build Definitions

I built a 'proof of concept' TFS 2010 build server. Now I want to set the build server up else where and move my old build definitions to the new build server. For the life of me I cannot figure out where the file location for the build definitions are? Is there a way to export this data out of my old build server and into my new? What a...

Permissions error when moving source from one project to another in TFS2010

I have ProjectA with folder XYZ under it in source control in TFS2010. I use VS2010 to move the folder to ProjectB. I have a Rename pending change. The projects are mapped to 2 different folders on my local disk. The move operation copied all the files to the ProjectB local folder. When I try to Checkin the change, I get the followin...

"View Test Results" is missing from TFS 2010 web access build summary?

I'm using vs\tfs 2010 to queue builds with tests. When using vs to queue the build, I can access the "View Test Results" in the build summary. But when I queue the build using the TFS web access, this link is missing from the build summary. ...

How to protect trunk from devs

We are using TFS for our code: trunk + branches for coding activities. There are 6 devs in my team. Problem: sometimes developers don't want to create a new branch (or use an old one) to fix/develop something. They just do it in trunk. OK, in some cases it's acceptable. But most of the time it creates a lot of troubles. How can I enfo...

TFS InvokeProcess to run under other credentials

Hi! We have customized the build process with a InvokeProcess action that runs a powershell script that deploys our sln. Problem is that this script must be run under a given user (not the tfsbuild user). How can we achive this? Alternative 1: Make the InvokeProcess run as a different user - Alternative 2: Make the powershell script...

Difference between VS2010 Scrum v1.0 vs MSF for Agile software development v5.0 or the latter is the superset?

How significant are the differences between Visual Studio Scrum 1.0 & MSF for Agile Software Development v5.0 process templates? Has anyone used one over the other? We are currently using external tools (TRAC) for implementing Scrum in our development process, since MS came up with additional process guidance in TFS2010, these 2 things...

"Build" Classic ASP with TFS 2010

I'm using TFS 2010 for source control and for continuous integration (among other things). I've got a Classic ASP application that I maintain that I'd like to incorporate in a continuous integration build; however, I must supply a "Item to Build" in the build definition. Since Classic ASP doesn't have a solution or project associated wit...

Equivalent of svn import via Team Foundation Server command line

Subversion's svn import command allows repeatedly importing an external directory tree into source control. It's also important to note the original directory tree is not modified, ie it does not become a checkout/working directory. What is the equivalent in TFS 2010 (Team Foundation Server), using the command line? ...

how do I add a user to TFS Licensed user group?

I can't seem to add a user to the licensed user group in TFS 2010. Everything online says to open up Visual Studio, connect to the server, then drop down team, click Team Foundation Server Settings, and then Groups. I can get that far, but then it says to click on the Licensed Users Group, and I don't have that group in my list. I don...
