• nmbsixpack What's become of the Team Foundation Power Toy (tfpt.exe)?

  I can find lots of references to the powertoy, but they all appear to be quite old, and refer to the version of the powertoy from the beta 3 timeframe. Does that old version still work with the RTM services, is there a newer version somewhere, or is the RTM-compatible version lost in the woodwork somewhere OK, thanks. That's the only version I could find but I thought it might have an official home by now. If you get the late ...Show All

• Steve Eckhardt Change the Root Directory for Source Control

  Is there any way to change the root directory used by the Source Control.  I was trying to fetch one of my Team Build Configurations, and I was prompted to select a directory (because it said it didn't have one mapped).  I thought I was picking a directory for that specific Build, so I went and manually built a desirable directory structure, and then picked the directory.  Well, it turns out that I was picking the directory for th ...Show All

• manikaagarwal TFS on Domain Controller, how do I upgrade to RC?

  Hi, For Beta 3 (refresh), I had Team Foundation Server installed on a Domain Controller. Now the RC has come along and this is no longer supported.

• Nick Lenting Visual studio locking up when doing TFS stuff.

  Hi, I am wondering if anyones else is having a similar problem as me. It seems at certain times when I do various actions (getting latest code, checking in something) the action completes and then Visual Studio locks up to the point where I have to kill the devenv.exe from the task list. It has happened to me quite a few times now. I am running the VPC image for the server and have installed the TFC from the en_vs_2005_tfs_trial.iso file. ...Show All

• Gnomie Zombie Version Control 'Project'

  I've added a project to TFS, then added a couple of various VS2005 projects to version control. I then run TfsDeleteProject to remove the project. Just for giggles I then add a new project with the same name as the original project I just deleted. If I do that I find that version control now has two root entries both with the same name, that name being the project I've just added.

• Bdenison Unversioned Files View

  Is there a way in the Team System GUI to show files that are not added to the Source Control system I know about the "Add files/Folders" button. But it's a real pain to use if your development isn't in VS, but in another Editor or Product (i.e. Crystal Reports). I have to remember all the files I haven't added that are in my workspace. If I've been working on some things for several hours, and I'm finally ready to add the files, this ...Show All

  Hi, Shouldn't the task list under the 'project portal | Document & Lists | Tasks' be the same as the list of tasks you see in the VS Team Explorer under 'project | Work Items | Team Queries | All Tasks' If so, can someone tell me what are the possible causes for not seeing any tasks under the project portal (e.g. my project is PJ228, so the link is something like:  http://localhost/sites/PJ228/Lists/Tasks/AllItems.aspx ). tia, --R ...Show All
