One thing I really miss is a date time modified field next to the files in the source control explorer. In VSS I used this all the time to find files that have recently changed. Or just to know if a file was really old. Is there any way to add fields in the Source Control Explorer for TFS? ...

The TFS FAQ mentions that the server creates "reverse delta" of both binary and text files "asynchronously as a background task". I'm unable to find any other information on how or when this reverse delta creation happens, what factors affect how long it takes, and if it can be controlled. Is ...

I do not see the Team Foundation item in the VB6 Tools menu after installing MSSCCI 1.0 provider. We downloaded the msi package today. This is the first installation of the MSSCCI provider - no previous Betas were used. I have already installed .NET 2.0, the Team Foundation client and VB6SP6. I ...
I consider it a bug that Team Explorer does not fetch the latest version of a file when the client selects to check it out for edit. There should be at least an option in settings to enable/diable this. Editing out-of-date files is getting old. That's my 2 cents.
Hi, I'm in the process of looking at upgrading our development environment. We currently run Visual Studio .net 2003 Professional Edition and use Visual Source Safe for source control. What version of Visual Studio 2005 should i be looking at and what is happening with Visual Source Safe? Is ...

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 ...
Does anyone have experience using Team System to version and manage objects like Word documents (e.g., design specs, test plans, etc.) in addition to source code? Pluses/minuses? Would you recommend doing this based on your experience? Thanks.

Is there a way to force a check-out lock on binary files when they are checked out? Since you cannot merge these files, wouldn't it make sense to automatically lock them on checkout? Seems like disastrous consequences are looming without this capability since someone will check their changes ...

I have succesfully migrated my VSS 2005 database into TFS. However I had to unbind the sources from the old VSS 2005 locations and bind them to TFS. This removed the not-in-source-control listing of some files. So I tried: 'Exclude <item> from source control' on these and I seem not te ...
The biggest reasons we are not switching over from VSS to VSTFD have to do with working on files is disconnected mode, sluggish performance and multiple file comparisions. Perhaps you can address some of our issues 1. If I am disconnected from the source control and I have modified project ...
