I'm interested in possibly using Scrum with my development team (yes, I know it'll be a little painful to transition over to it). However, we don't have Team System and probably can't currently afford to get it immediately. What are some possible tools for getting a team up and running on Scrum in a .NET/Visual Studio environment withou...
I would like to gauge what solutions other people put in place to get Team System functionality. We all know that Team System can be pricey for some of us. I know they offer a small team edition with five licenses with a MSDN subscription, but what if your team is bigger than five or you don't want to use Team System? ...
I have a Team Foundation Server 2008 Installation and a separate machine with the Team Build service. I can create team builds and trigger them manually in Visual Studio or via the command line (where they complete successfully). However check ins to the source tree do not cause a build to trigger despite the option to build every check...
How can I be notified when someone checks a file into Team System and doesn't associate it with a work item? ...
TFS2008. I'd like to track task points on a Task work item, but there isn't anywhere (other than the description) to record this. I'd like to add a dropdown with 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, etc, so these task points can be exported in reports. ...
We used to use SourceSafe, and one thing I liked about it was that when you checked out a file, it automatically got you its latest version. Now we work with Team System 2005, and it doesn't work that way - you have to "get latest version" before you start working on a file that you've checked out. Is there a way to configure Team Syst...
How effective is merging when folders and projects have been renamed in your solution? ...
I was wondering if anyone tried migrating between TS and SVN/CC. What I mean by migrating is importing and exporting the repository between source control systems without losing the history. How good are the tools to migrate to and from VSTS? I am also interested in knowing any opinion regarding using Team System from users of SVN an...
I'm looking for a code review tool that has something like Word's review tools. I would like the ability to add a note in the side bar that references a specific block of code as well as to have portions of the code that are changed tracked so that someone else can open the file later and accept/reject the changes. If it were integrate...
I would like to upgrade my team from VS2005 to VS2008 without touching the version of Team Server which is 2005. Is that possible? And if so, how do I tell VS to recognize TFS ? Currently in my VS2008 options menu, I don't have any source control to choose from... ...
Are there any import and export tools that would let us move projects into and out of team system with full history and log? Our current SCM is SVN. PS - Sorry, I know it's a repost, but I didn't get an answer before... :) ...
I ran into an issue when installing Team Foundation Server 2008 Workgroup Edition. I have a Windows Server 2003 SP2 machine that's practically new. I have installed SQL Server 2008 with almost all of the options. When I run through the TFS installation, it allows me to enter my SQL instance name and then goes through the verification pro...
Has anyone experienced this VSTS Code Coverage "bug?" Do you have any suggestions? I am doing code coverage analysis with Visual Studio, which is generally an easy task now with the tools that are included. However, I have an issue that I can't overcome. Let's say I have assemblies A, B, C, and D and have marked them all for coverage a...
Visual Studio seems to be modifying a list of .vsmdi files in my .sln every time sometimes when I run a unit test. This is annoying because my source control client thinks the .sln file needs to be checked in even though I don't want to check it in. Is there any way to keep Visual Studio from munging the .sln file after a test run? Edit...
How come one user in the local Administrators Group has no problem hitting http://localhost:8080/services/v1.0/Registration.asmx while other users in the local Administrators Group get 403 (access denied) errors (with nothing in the Event log)? ...
Interested if anyone has used VSTS Database Edition extensively and, if so, which features did you find the most useful over the standard Visual Studio database projects? What are the most compelling features as opposed to alternative schema management options or tools like RedGate's SqlCompare etc? Edit: Microsoft just released the RT...
It seems that when I use a tool (such as winmerge) to update my codebase... my Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) integration with Team Foundation Server (TFS) doesn't seem to pick it up. How do I know which files to check out and check back in? Is there something I am missing? Is this a feature that isn't part of VSTS & TFS? ...
At my company we use the default agile process template with some modificiations. One modification we have made is added a field that indicates how to report time spent on a work item. What customisations of the default process templates have you made? Have you customised a third party process template or maybe rolled your own from scr...
I am looking for an addin that will allow me to click a button on the VS toolbar and the following actions should happen. On the highlighted project/folder/item from either Source Control Explorer or Solution Explorer, do a 'Get Specific Version' Click those 2 checkboxes, hit the 'Get' button on that dialog As I find myself doing t...
We are looking at moving from Visual Studio 2008 Professional to Visual Studio Team System. I believe I've read that the client Development Edition is a superset of what Professional has/does. I'd like to ease into the transition with the client end first, then get the Team Foundation Server up and running later, and I want to be sure I ...
