How does Perforce compare to Team Foundation Server (TFS). Here at work, we have used Perforce (Which I like very much btw) exclusively. On the other hand, I'm sorry I have never used TFS. I'm interested in TFS though, however I cannot make a judgement call as to the difference. What are the advantages of using each over the other? ...

I am attempting to write a Visual Studio 2010 add-in for Team Explorer that adds a root node, just underneath each project. This root node should not have any children, and no context menu, just a double-click action. I have used the samples provided here to create a folder node, with leaf nodes underneath. The leaf nodes I can make do a...
I'd like to upload a project into codeplex, but I have no idea how. I don't want to break my existing TFS + VS install. Do I need to install anything special to work with Codeplex? ...
We have installed TFS 2010 with success but wonder how to set the users permissions. We are small projects with five developers, a manager and a secretary.

Hi, I'm using Visual Studio Team Build. My build compiles stuff and then runs some automated tests. If the tests fail, the build ends with status "Partially succeeded". When this happens, the only file in the drop directory is the build log. It seems that team build only copies the contents of the Binaries folder to the drop directory i...

I belong to a .NET shop using TFS. In the last year or so we've been trying to share and between our teams (some local, some in a completely different region). Up until now, we've included shared code as project references. As the dependency on the shared code grows, we're getting into more and more problems (people modifying code th...

I was developing team project and suddenly realised that i've made so many changes, that i need create branch. I've never used branching in TFS and when i saw "Branch\ "From Workspace version" i thought that's, what i need. But this option doesn't act as i supposed. How can i create new branch, from my "LOCAL COPY of Project" and incl...
I have a 2010 TFS server on Windows 2003. I'd like to make the sharpoint portal available by a url that is other than the default machine name. It seems that any time I access the /tfs/web subdirectory with anything other than the default name then the TFS sharepoint objects don't load. They only load when I access the server by the N...
I created the project and uploaded it to codeplex from my home computer. Everything works fine. Now I'm on the road on my laptop and I want to checkout my project. Do I create a blank solution and then do the checkout? Do I have to checkout without creating any new projects (if so how?)? Thanks for the help. ...
I installed Visual Studio Team System 2008 on my Windows 7 (64 bit) machine. For some reason, it doesn't appear to be any menu items related to team explorer. In addition to this, when I try to install the stand alone Team Explorer 2008, it displays a message that it's not supported (I'm assuming because I am running Windows7 64 bit). ...
We're in the process of evaluating team foundation server for source control. There doesn't seem to be a great way to "discover" that another developer has added file(s) to a solution. Does anyone have any tips to make new files "jump out" a bit? ...

Hello. I have two computers in my house, both with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits. I also have installed a Team Foundation Server 2010 on one of them. I want to access TFS 2010 from the other PC but I can't because I don't have a valid user to access. When I try to add that user to TFS 2010 I can't because I can't see the users from the o...
While using Team Foundation Server sometimes we have to delete our projects entirely and make them again from scratch. But while mapping, everytime we have to map our projects to a different folder. Deleting the old folder does not work at all, it creates another one while mapping. I guess there is a list that Visual Studio keeps about t...
Hi all, I have a rather loaded question regarding a library/framework my company uses to build websites from that I hope I can convey without too much trouble.
