tfs2008

When I add a bug (Work Item) in TFS, and assign it to a user, I want an email sent to that user. Also if an existing bug has the "Assigned To" changed, I want that user to get an email. Is it possible to send Alerts to users when they're assigned changed bugs in TFS 2008? In VS 2005 at least, on the Team menu you will find a Project Alerts... item which allows users to specify an email address that will be notified when My work items are changed by others , which covers both the situations you mention. I imagine VS 2008 will have a similar thing. Unfortunately, TFS doesn't have anything built

I use TFS 2008 in a company. How can I get list of files from a TFS changeset using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client and Powershell ? My script: Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies\v2.0\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.dll" Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies\v2.0\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.dll" Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies\v2.0\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.dll

Anyway in TFS to check-in modified files which are not checked-out. I made modifications in some fo the files which are I didnt check-out. In Sub version we can check-in only modified files is there any similar way here as well.. I am new to TFS Ultimately, you do need to check out files before they can be checked in. There's a couple of ways to do this - if you know exactly which files you've modified, you can simply check them out with the UI or with the command line client. Of course, it's much easier to just let TFS determine which files you've modified and check them out for you. You can

We practice continuous deployment with TFS (2008) and are looking for a nice way to handle IIS settings changes. MSDeploy seems like it should be the way to handle this, but after much reading and searching, I haven't found a good answer. The problem with MSDeploy, as I see it, is that you need to create a deployment package using an existing IIS website. I would like to be able to have the appropriate IIS configuration for the website in source control and have the build create the package. The only way I can see to do this is to hand craft the archive.xml file. Is my thinking correct or is

I'm trying to figure out a way to find out which files were affected by a work item in TFS 2008. I realize that this is a duplication of a question already asked by someone else here - View a list of all files changed as part of a Workitem in TFS but it went unanswered and I've been, off and on, looking for this for a while. I understand can view the links tab of the work item and then view each changeset to see the files that have been changed. But, the work item very likely will end up with many changesets linked to it, and I would like to review the files modified as part of the work item,

I am working on a Visual Studio 2008 project that is already added to TFS server. I am not sure which settings and policies have been configured for the TFS (this is done by a separate dept, not developers) Every time I make an edit to a code file , the file is checked out automatically (without explicitly checking out the code file myself) Please help me locate this setting or policy because it is not very useful at the moment. Sometime you want to make a local change to try out something, and not necessarily check out the code.... Alex It is in Options\SourceControl\Environment Checked out

When viewing files in a shelveset, I would like the option of comparing the files to my current local version. Unfortunately, the only options available are "With Unmodified", "With Workspace" (I guess this one would be the answer, if it wasn't disabled) and "With Latest". Any ideas? Export Shelveset to a local folder using Team Foundation Sidekicks and use file comparison tool to compare with local version. ChrisTorng Up to How can I easily diff/compare 2 shelvesets in TFS? Use VS2013 ShelvesetComparer or VS2012 ShelvesetComparer , shelve local version into another shelveset, then compare
