Hi everybody,
We have a solution consisting of many projects in TFS. I decided to add my 2 new projects to that solution (because I may want to use one class from one of these projects in my new project).
Unfortunately, these new projects were not added to TFS and I don't know what should I do to add them there.
I am using Visual Studio 2015.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Best regardsDear Team,
Would like to know if there is a way to extract incremental changes from file/s from a folder.
Intention is to review these incremental changes and validate. Right now it has to be done manually per file.
Appreciate your help.

Hello,
Just updated to TFS2017(on-premise), I noticed that header of work item have a lot of unused space. It has fields "State", "Reason", "Area", "Iteration". So Area and Iteration takes too much horizontal space. I want to add another fields to header like "Severity", "Activity" and maybe custom fields. I've tried to add controls to Bug definition in section <WebLayout><Systemcontrols>.. but get error:
"
The element 'SystemControls' has invalid child element 'Control'."
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi, I've updated out TFS 2015 Update 3 server to 2017 and all seems to be working well, other than the new work item views. While I have new features such as follow, I still have the old look and feel, but have the new menu bars.
Is there an extra step to update the Work Items view to the new style?
Cheers,
Stephen.
Hi,
When i use witadmin to display the names of the work item types in the specified project i get "Change Request", "Task" and "Work Item" returned to the command prompt window... happy days :)
BUT when i then try an exportwitd for the Task type i get "Not Found" returned.
Sadly thats all the information i have, any ideas???
I need to make a query chart, where the group by has the Tags field.
The query is filtering by Tags and the Tags are in the Colunms output.
For what I know when an field is added to the output in the Column Options the field becames available in the group by drop down box, in the charts area.
But with Tags it doesn't work. Is there another way to do it?
We've been using TFS for a couple of years now but we've only been creating stories in it after an idea has been vetted (been discussed and agreed worthy of eventual implementation). We're now thinking we'd like it to also track ideas before they get to the stage of having been vetted. We realize that the quantity of ideas that might be added could potentially make it harder to differentiate between things that we've already decided we will implement and those that are just suggestions. We'd look at the suggestions regularly to disposition them. To get them out of view from the implementers we tried creating a Feature named "New" and moving them there - but that doesn't do anything to remove them from the Stories view. Is there a way that people currently both:
1) Allow "suggestions" to go into TFS and
2) Keep them out of the Stories view
An answer may be to only have implementers look in Iterations.
Another answer might be to have implementers only look at query results (not the default backlog view) that exclude however the "suggestions" were tagged.
Just wondering if anyone uses TFS in some other way to achieve #1 and #2.
Thanks in advance
In our project we use the 'add tag' function often. The list with 'tags' is growing. Now I would like to delete 'tags' which we are not using anymore frome the standard list. Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance!
We are an on-premisesTFS site. We implement the WorkItemChangedEvent interface because we synchronize TFS edits with a legacy corporate database. One of the workitems fields, Assigned To, is synchronized with this legacy db. When TFS 2015 was introduced, or thereabout, it started using this type of value for the user's identity:
|Name, Display%GUID| ie |Smith, John%1076f1d4-92b0-4bc9-888c-2867aed99247|
At the same time, TFS started using the following value to indicate "Unassigned" or Null user: |%00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000|
We had a few complaints that the Assigned To value was not being passed on to legacy, and in troubleshooting the problem, we saw that sometimes the user's identity comes to us as "|Smith, John%00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000|"
Our code was mistakenly looking to see if the ID contained the null guid value, and now we've modified it to see if it is exactly "|%00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000|". This solved this problem.
What I would like to know is this: why is the guid sometimes set to this null value? One thing to add is that in the same workitem changed event, that Assigned To and Changed By were both set to "|Smith, John%00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000|", but the System.AuthorizedAs value (Authorized As) was set to |Smith, John%1076f1d4-92b0-4bc9-888c-2867aed99247|
Huh? What gives? What is the guid used for, and why is it sometimes NULL?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am trying to create a new team project from VISUAL STUDIO 2015 Update 3 on TFS 2017.
Connection to collection works ok but i am getting the following error
I cannot create a Team Project on VS 2015.
Please Advise asap
Best
Executing the "Visual Studio Test" Build Step in TFS 2015 does not work for me because vstest cannot find an assembly (A) that is used by the unittest-project.
"System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The file or assembly..."
The dependencies are as followows:
The Unittest-project uses class library B (which contains the stuff to be tested) and class library A (because class library B uses class library A)
A and B are referenced as .NET references, so the unitest runner should clearly know that library A is needed.
However it does not find the library A. But it definitely exists , otherwise the unittest or library B wouldn't even compile.
As all this is not an "exotic" scenario I guess must be missing something fundamental ?

Is this possible? I have a team project AMT with source control which is under development. Another team will start adding other modules to this with end result being RDS with AMT as a module. We want to as easy as possible maintain a whole different team and work items. I thought of lot of work method on my part being just creating duplicates of all work item types and have like Epic - RDS, Feature - RDS, etc. I could constrain all the assigned to etc within there.
If I can go the 2 projects route I would have CI running and test before checkin.
thanks, jfc

Hello,
I'm having troubles trying to add Azure Resource Manager Service Endpoint in TFS version 15.105.25910.0.
When I enter required data and click "Verify connection", I get "Verified" response:
But if I click "OK" button, I get an error:
I've checked Event viewer on TFS server as well as the IIS logs, but couldn't find anything that could be related to this.
Does anyone have an idea how can I fix it or a clue about a possible cause of it?
Thanks,
Miljan
Is there a limit of space, which can use a team project in tfs.
Can I have a project of 5 gigas or more?
Hi,
I am trying to execute the automated test from MTM. I have created the automated test and associated that to my test case.
When i execute the test case from MTM getting the Error "The build directory of the test run either does not exist or access permission is required."
I have configured below things.
1. Created an automated coded ui test
2. Associated that test method to test case from Visual Studio
3. Created a build definition for Coded UI Test Project and building the project to drop location
4. Created a Test Controller and Test Agent Environment successfully.
5. From MTM, Run With Options => "Build in Use" = "Latest build of Test automation Project", Test Settings and Environment.
When i click on Run, it gives me error "The build directory of the test run either does not exist or access permission is required."
I have also checked the permission to access the build drop location to user by which i have configured the controller and agent and it is accessible.
How can i resolve this issue?
Thank you,
Ujjwal K
