Connect Visual Studio 2010 Professional to TFS

Question

Is it possible to connect Visual Studio 2010 Professional edition to TFS (project hosted on Codeplex)?

This states, it is not included in Professional edition: http://ww

Answer 1

Team Explorer is included in most editions of Visual Studio 2010. Try going to the View menu and if Team Explorer is listed then you have it installed.

If you do need to download Team Explorer then you can do so from here:

Note that TFS is licensed on a per-user basis on people connecting to the server needing to be covered by a Client Access License (CAL). If you have Visual Studio without an MSDN subscription then you also need to purchase a TFS CAL to be licensed to use TFS. (A new benefit of MSDN Subscriptions with the Visual Studio 2010 release is that all levels now include a TFS CAL as well as a full TFS license)
