tfs2010

When doing branches in tfs, does it matter if you are branching A to B or from B to A? The thing is that we have branch A and branch B, and now branch A has got messed up and we would like to recreate it from branch B by branching a new branch from B. As far as I know when you do a branch you get a relationship between the branches, but you don't get a "parent-child" relation, is that correct? Is my question clear? pantelif At the point where a new branch is constructed, it gets equal to what you chosen to branch out from. The tricky point about TFS-merging (as opposed, for example to the P4

We are using TFS2010 (for source control only), and until recently everyone was using VS2010. Our developers just installed VS2012. Pulling down code works fine in Visual Studio. When you go to "Pending Changes" in Team Explorer, we are seeing TF201072: A user or group could not be found. Verify that the users and groups used in your work item type definition have been added to Team Foundation Server. , twice, at the top. We can still check-in code from VS - seems this error is ignored. However, we are unable to shelve changes - when you attempt to shelve, the same error comes up in a popup,

How do you go about deleting test cases from Team Foundation Server? I have taken the following stesp: First I installed Team Foundation Server Power Tools from this website . Second I entered the following into the VS command window: witadmin destroywi /collection: server name /id: test case id I received the following error message from the VS command prompt: Command "witadmin" is not valid. I even tried to run this command from the windows command prompt as a normal user and also selecting "Run as administrator", however in each case I get the same error message stating "Command "witadmin"

We have customized the build process with a InvokeProcess action that runs a powershell script that deploys our sln. Problem is that this script must be run under a given user (not the tfsbuild user). How can we achive this? Alternative 1: Make the InvokeProcess run as a different user - Alternative 2: Make the powershell script itself run as different user Problem is that I have no idea of how to do any of this. I have created a blog post on this how you can achieve this: Customize Team Build 2010 – Part 9: Impersonate activities (run under other credentials) A pure PowerShell option,

We're having a bit of trouble following a TFS Baseless Merge. Here's a quick summary of the branches we have at the moment. Main | ----------- | | BranchA BranchB | | BranchA1 BranchB1 We performed a baseless merge using "All changes up to a specific version" from BranchA1 to BranchB1 . When this was checked in every file in our source tree had a "merge" status. This makes sense, and is explained in the ALM Rangers branching guide as follows: If a baseless merge is performed with “All changes up to a specific version” selected, when checking in a baseless merge every file will have a merge

I'm trying to create a new work item for TFS 2010 via the client SDK. In the SDK you can do something like this: WorkItem item = ...; item.Attachments.Add(new Attachment("c:\\path\\on\\tfs\\server\\shot.png", "Screen shot")); item.Save(); But this requires the file being attached to be placed on either a network accessible path, or on a disk in the TFS server itself. In our case the file being attached is just an in-memory blob, and having to save attachments to a physical path seems unnecessary and definitely complicates the deployment steps required by our customers, as we need to put them
