tfs2010

I'm newish to TFS and am working with VS and TFS 2010 RC releases. In every other DIFF tool I've used in the past I have had options for configuring how to treat whitespace differences, among other things. Where are these options when working with VS2010 and TFS2010? Thanks! Your best choice when using the compare features in VSTS is to plug in your favorite 3rd party compare tool. Like, Beyond Compare, Araxis Merge, whatever. Then these settings are much more natural to you if you are familiar with the product. I have found these two blog posts to be immensely helpful. I have integrated

I've followed the Team Foundation Server 2010 book 's custom editor for a dictionary<string,string> and can't get it to go. I have another custom editor in the same assembly, and consumed by the same build template that works. This SO hints at it being a TypeConverter issue, but I don't think any part of a custom build assembly is just run when it is loaded. I'm getting the default generic Collection Editor instead of mine. I have tried using code more like my credential UITypeEditor uses, and then tried typing exactly what's in the book for a UITypeEditor . The dialog itself should not matter

When I change the quality of a build in TFS 2010 (to production quality), I would like to have the build uploaded to my FTP site on a remote server. Are there any tools you know of that can accomplish this? If not, any suggestions on how I can do this myself? If you want to automate this you probably need to use the notification system in TFS. You would need to build a web service that receives the notification from TFS and then have that web service do the FTP upload or make it queue a new build that would do the FTP upload. I would probably go for the second alternative so I could easily do

I'm trying to write some code that monitors the TFS workspace(s) on my local workstation but at the moment I'm having problems getting the events to fire. For example if I map a new folder in my workspace I want to subscribe to the versionControl.UpdatedWorkspace event, and if I do a “get” I want to map to the versionControl.Getting event. The code below is a console application that I think should work, but when I do a get nothing happens. Does anyone know how to successfully subscribe to these events? VS2010, TFS 2010, WinXP SP3 using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System

I've seen similar questions and answers but found them not really what I want. I have a large solution with several web projects in it. All the web projects share some common code so they are all part of the same solution (there is a common project that is referenced by all of them). I've been running on Team Foundation Server 2008 and we are upgrading to TFS 2010 to be ready for our move to visual studio 2010 and .net 4.0. I've got the build working with a 2010 build by creating a new build because we only had one customization I'm trying to reproduce. Once the build is done I have the files

I wish to call the GetBuildProperties task from my MSBuild script run on TFS. However, this script can be run on either TFS 2010 or TFS 2013. Is there a way to detect the version of TFS that has launched an MSBuild Script? At the moment, I am getting around the problem like so: <PropertyGroup> <CurrentProgramFiles>$(ProgramW6432)</CurrentProgramFiles> <CurrentProgramFiles Condition="$(CurrentProgramFiles) == ''">$(ProgramFiles)</CurrentProgramFiles> </PropertyGroup> <PropertyGroup Condition="$(TeamFoundationServerUrl)!='' and Exists('$(CurrentProgramFiles)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010

We recently migrated from TFS 2010 to TFS 2015 and came across that some of the reporting services are not working anymore. One of the view we created was pulling various information (WorkItem State, Title,Fld10118) from "WorkItemsLatest" table, however, checking the collection database of TFS 2015 indicates that there is no more "WorkItemsLatest" table in TFS 2015 collection database. I would appreciate if you can advise how to get above mentioned fields in TFS 2015 collection database. I understand that the operational databases are not supported by Microsoft and encourages to retrieve data

I recently migrated from VSS to TFS 2010 and I've been absolutely loving it, but there's something I haven't yet been able to get working the way I think it should. GOALS I'd like to quickly know when a change to Development breaks a build. If we find out after-the-fact, it's no big deal. Since a lot of check-ins happen throughout the day, we don't want to wait on the build to finish, so it should be asynchronous. With our Main branch, I'd like to ensure that any time a merge happens into it, we make sure it's not going to break the build. I want immediate feedback on this. The wait time is
