tfs2010

Does anyone have any good resources for working with the TFS 2010 API? I specifically looking at how to create, read, update and delete work items. Please see the Team Foundation Server 2010 SDK on MSDN Code Gallery. More content will be coming on-line for the RTM release, but you should find enough there to get you started. Contact me know if you have any questions. Shai Ratan's blog has a huge wealth of examples. They're 2008 but 99% still relevant. www.tfsexamples.com has 2008 examples, but still relevant WorkItemManager class from a TFS OS project I'm currently working on called Spruce ,

We have begun using the following branching structure in TFS 2010: All changes so far have been performed in the Development branch, and all check-ins have been associated with a Task work item. The Tasks are all children either of a Bug or a Product Backlog Item work item. Each CI build is triggered for a particular changeset, and the changeset is associated with a Task, so we can manually figure out which Bug or PBI was just built. Some time after the code has been built, deployed to our Integration environment and tested by the developer, it is merged to the Main branch. Obviously, more

I googled and found the below helpful references. Currently I want to run all from the command-line (for easy of execution & quickness) in cases: A specific test (ie. a test written by a method marked [TestMethod()]) All tests in a class All impacted tests of the current TFS pending change of mine. All tests All tests except the ones marked as category [TestCategory("some-category")] I'm not sure how can I write a correct command for my needs above.

I'm currently using TFS and the regular build process activity to build a solution. However, I'd like to be able to automate deployment so I can build and deploy remotely to a server in one step. On the MSBuild arguments I am trying to specify the deployment switch. My project is a windows service, but I understand it is still possible to deploy any binaries regardless of the project type (not being a web project). Current build parameters: /p:DeployOnBuild=True /p:UserName=user /p:Password=password When the build runs in TFS it succeeds, however I was expecting to see some attempt at

How do I change process template to MSF for Agile on an already existing team project in TFS 2010? We have upgraded our TFS 2008 to 2010, and now I would also like to change the process template to MSF for Agile (currently CMMI). We haven't used the workitem functionality much so if some information gets lost in the conversion doesn't matter. Jason Barile Once you've created a Team Project, you unfortunately can't just upload a new process template. As Robaticus says, you'll have to download the XML for the template and modify it, then re-upload it. The power tool lets you create NEW templates

A freshly installed TFS 2010 is at http://serverX:8080/tfs . A Windows 7 developer machine with VS 2008 Pro SP1 and the VS2008 Team Explorer ( no SP ). The TFS 2008 Service Pack 1 didn't work for me - "None of the products that are addressed by this software update are installed on this computer." The developer machine is able to browse the TFS site at the above URL. The Issue is around trying to add the TFS server into the Team Explorer window in Visual Studio 2008. Here's a screenshot showing the error: unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server. Possible reasons for failure include:

As the resident TFS admin, on occasion I am asked to undo a checkout (usually a lock) that a user has on a certain file checked into source control. How do you undo another user's checkout? brett rogers There are at least 2 different ways to do this: Command Line There is a command-line utility called Tf.exe that comes with Team Explorer. Find the documentation here . It can be accessed by launching a Visual Studio Command Prompt window. The syntax of the command is: tf undo [/workspace:workspacename[;workspaceowner]] [/server:servername] [/recursive] itemspec [/noprompt] For one file tf undo
