tfs2010

I have a Visual Studio 2012 solution using .NET 4.5 framework. The rest of our development system is TFS2010. Recently some of our unit tests have been failing on the build server only. After going through several rounds of debugging I was able to determine that the cause of the failed tests was most likely due to the version of MSTest being used on the build server. The tests in question pass when run from VS2012 on my local machine and when run from VS2012 on the actual build server. I have followed the steps described in the following articles (I have not found any useful articles directly

With TFS, could someone tell me how to find the id of the changeset of the last commit common to 2 branches (or the trunk and a branch)? It's easy to find the id of the first changeset of a branch (with 'tf history') but I could not find the parent of this commit :( Tfs seems to not keep (or display) this information! Note : Take the previous commit id (ex : 119 if the first changeset id of the branch is 120) is not a solution because changeset id are incremented by all the commits on any branches on any projects in the tfs server (so the previous commit could be taken by another project,

I have a TFSBuild.proj file and I need to add date/time logging for statistics i.e. which parts of the builds take the most time and where can we improve the process. The build outputs the log to BuildLog.txt. I use the following tags to get custom messages in the BuildLog.txt file, but I need to add a timestamp to each message. <Message Text="Debug: BeforeGet start: StartTimeGoesHere"></Message> <Message Text="Debug: BeforeGet end: EndTimeGoesHere"></Message> Is it possible to get a timestamp in the message? Is there a MSBuild variable that gets the current datetime value? In the example

Is there a way to trigger a custom script (or open a windows app) after a user imports the deployment package using IIS and completes the installation? Any help? Try help for msdeploy.exe. msdeploy.exe -help -postSync or http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee619740(WS.10).aspx msdeploy -verb:sync -source:contentPath="C:\Test1" -dest:contentPath="C:\Test2" -preSync:runcommand="Appcmd stop sites MyWebSite" -postSync:runcommand="Appcmd start sites MyWebSite" msdeploy -verb:sync -source:contentPath="C:\Test1" -dest:contentPath="C:\Test2" -preSync:runcommand="c:\MyBatchFile.bat" msdeploy

Does anyone know where I can go to get a list of the new TFS 2010 features. NOTE: I need TFS 2010 features. Not Visual Studio 2010. My boss is wondering why not just upgrade to Visual Studio 2010 and not worry about updating TFS from 2008 to 2010. (VS2010 is compatable with TFS 2008.) Any input would be nice.

I'm trying to connect to TFS 2010 using TFS SDK, but can't get VersionControlServer service. var servers = RegisteredTfsConnections.GetConfigurationServers(); // ok then var tfs = new TfsConfigurationServer(servers.First().Uri, CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials); // or var tfs = new TfsConfigurationServer(servers.First()); both always returns null: var vc = (VersionControlServer)tfs.GetService<VersionControlServer>(); // null! What should I do? You don't want the configuration server, you want the project collection. The version control service is scoped to a team project collection.
