I've gone to Team-->Connect and tried to enter the details for the TFS on the CddePlex site:
Then it asks for the user name and password - which I assume is something like
[email protected] + my codeplex password.
But is doesn't let me sign in?
What assumption is making an ass of me?
Your username is probably
snd\username_cp
Replace username with your username
brickner's answer is correct. (snd\username_cp)
You can see the instructions to connect by clicking on the project's Source Code tab. Then on the right, click on the appropriate link under "Source Control Setup". This includes instructions for Visual Studio Team Explorer, Subversion and various other source control clients.
Was going to write a question myself, came across this thread and I'm confirming, as an absolutely beginner who had no idea - you have to join a project to log in. However, you can still open up a solution yourself and check out the gears underneath.
