At my new company I have been tasked with setting up and presenting TFS as a full life cycle solution. I have plenty of experience working with TFS as a developer but I can't seem to find any good resources regarding setting up process via templates, things like modifying work items templates, creating sprints (We are using scrum) , bu...
Hi I am connecting to TFS through Visual Studio 2008 Team Explorer. Lets say TFS is on machine A and Visual Studio 2008 is on machine B (my box). I have a local account on machine A (i.e. A\username) that has admin privileges for TFS (installed on machine A). Whenever I connect to TFS from team explorer it always uses the my domain cred...
I am just starting out with Team Foundation Server 2008, and one of the hangups I've experienced is the following: I create a new Team Project, as well as a Project Portal (which I believe is just a Sharepoint site). When I go to view the project portal in the browser, it prompts me for a username and password. I want it to use diges...
I'm writing some super simple async code. Just saving a file off-thread. I'd like to test this code using the clever Unit Test framework in Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 .NET XP Extreme Edition blah blah blah... How? I'd like to simple block the test method until the method returns. I can imagine some ways to do this, but I...
I'm looking to migrate from an Active Directory domain-based TFS environment to a workgroup-based one. I know this is a non-traditional move but it makes sense for my purposes. This MSDN article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404883.aspx details the process for workgroup --> domain. I could deduce the proper process from th...

So, I was trying to change the capitalization of a folder at the route of a team project's source control tree. I have come up with a couple ways to do it that are rather stupid, but am wondering if there are simpler ways to do it. The fundamental issue is that the rename and move functionality are both designed on the assumption that ...
I have a nightly team build that is reporting errors from the test step but zero errors in the summary. This results in a partial success. I cant see any errors in the full build log but maybe it's just the quantity of warnings?? Anyone got any ideas? Thanks ...
I have a nightly script that should build Debug and Release zip files then upload these via ftp to the client. Ive always used AfterDropBuild for deployment of a single configuration - which works fine - but building both config's in a single build doesn't seem to work. I was hoping that AfterDropBuild would execute twice. I can of co...

Hello. My question is about more general workflow of a development team rather than a direct coding problem, and I don't know if this type of questions are allowed here. We have created a digital agency-like brand in a multi-brand company. All of us (currently 4 people) are experienced freelancers but none of us worked in a serious deve...

How are you supposed to correctly use a Visual Studio Team System database project to implement version control on a sql server database? This might seem overly generic but everything I've found so far online hasn't helped me in being able to achieve anything useful. I have managed to find functionality that appears to be similar to fea...
