In Visual Studio 2012 in Solution Explorer window have doubled file names (sorry for no screenshots - here is the link http://floomby.ru/s1/uaxC8K ). In the same time it's all right in File Explorer and in project file ( http://floomby.ru/s1/WaxCv8 ). It's really annoying thing and cant find the reason why is this happening. What can be done to prevent such behavior? Still can't describe how to prevent, except it's just use the Visual Studio 2012 merge tool more accuratly. But here is the solution to get rid of duplicate entries in Solution window. First remember somehow all name of duplicated

First some context; we are developing a large desktop WPF application in .NET 4.5 targeting 64 bit Windows 7 and 8. We are using Visual Studio 2012.2 (soon to be .3 then probably 2013!) and TFS 2012 (again .2 soon to be .3 then 2013). Currently this product is all in a single large solution (just over 50 projects) yielding a WPF exe, a load of dlls and a nice MSI to install it. We use TFS (gated and scheduled) to build the solution, its installer (WiX) and run its tests (SpecFlow for BDD and MSTest unit tests) and this is working very well. I have a separate scheduled TFS build that deploys

Our Nightly TFS 2012 backup has just started to fail. It also fails when run directly through TFS Express Administration Console. Which file is the following error actually referring to? If I can find it then I should be able to fix the "Root element is missing" error :) [13/08/2014 23:00:00] [Info] Full database backup job [13/08/2014 23:00:00] [Info] Getting backup lock [13/08/2014 23:00:05] [Error] Exception Message: There is an error in XML document (0, 0).

For a build process template , we can add/remove/edit the argument list of it and use it as variables within the build/work-flow steps. I reading the nice guide here I'm cloning the template DefaultTemplate.11.1.xaml to sayHello-DefaultTemplate.11.1.xaml and edit it via Visual Studio 2012. I first added one argument, called TestMessage . I check in my changeset to the Source Control. Then I create a build definition sayHelloBuild based on this template. And when I go to the Process tab, I can see TestMessage in the Misc section. I save the build definition. Trying to queue it and it gets

I am using TFS 2012. In TFS there are more than 15 users. When I try to unshelve a shelveset files it shows error as shown below Interesting is that this error does not comes for few users, and they are able to unshelve it. All the users have same permission. The error comes for one user and for another user it does not come in same PC(TFS server installed PC).So it's little strange error. Initially i was thinking like may be a problem with mappings,but for another user same kind of mapping allows to unshelve it. I also tried re creating the user and it does not solve the problem. So why does

My main branch has some files that have different codes from the same file of development branch. The development branch is the one that has the correct version of these files but when I am trying to merge it to main branch(target); I am getting a message saying There was no changes to merge How can I resolve that problem so that the main branch has the correct version of those files? jessehouwing When merging files TFS doesn't just look at the differences between the two branches, but it also keeps track of whether you've ignored these changes in a previous merge attempt. When merging TFS

I'm trying to programmatically retrieve a Team's Administrator Users . For example in a setup like in the picture how can I get 'Billy' as being the Administrator of Team 'QC Manager'? I already have the code that gets all users in a Team via IIdentityManagementService's ListApplicationGroups, getting the group using FirstOrDefault ... and then getting its users via ReadIdentities. I've done some poking around in the Team Web Access assemblies, and this seems to be only available on the server side at the moment (no Rest or Client Object Model option available). The code looks like this:
