So, checking out for edit is kind of must for binary files(like doc file etc) at least. As a result, you won’t be able to edit it externally(However its still possible to do so from within visual studio). Also, until you checkout a file for edit, files will be in ‘read only’ mode. This will be notified to other developers also and they will see this in edit mode through source control explorer. To Edit a file, you should first use the option ‘Checkout for edit’ to acknowledge server that you are going to edit this file. Here, just to mention, remove something using the source control explorer will not necessarily remove them from your local file system. Similarly you can delete files/folders from server using the ‘delete’ option and then finally checking in the pending changes. You will then have to perform another operation named ‘Check In Pending Changes’ to add them permanently to tfs server(its similar to the commit option on SVN) then add the add option on source control explorer to add them from there.Īfter you perform the addition, those files/directories won’t be committed to server yet. Here, I want to add a suggestion that, although you will be able to select files from other directories as well, it will be best to, first add items to your local file system (relatively) where you want them to be placed on server. To add one/more file(s)( or directories), just use the ‘Add Items To Folder’ option to do so. Similar options will be found if you right click of your mouse inside the area. You should be able to see some options on the top bar of source control explorer window. Adding/Deleting Files/Directories To Source Control:

If you click on that option, you will get to another new window, which actually shows you all server files inside your team foundation server project. The main concern for us at this moment is to use the ‘Source Control’ part. First, On ‘View -> Team Explorer’ you will see the team foundation server’s all items like Work Items,Documents,Reports,Builds and Source Control.

then, it will perform a complete ‘checkout’ operation that will download all latest files from the server(nothing if a new empty project).

Then you should be prompt to select a local pc directory where you wish to save all the files. Now, select proper ‘Project Collection'(If more than one) and then select your specific project. select it on “Connect to Team Project” dialogue(It should be automatically selected if only one server). This can be like “”.Īfter you have added the server. However, instead of giving individual details, if you give a complete url that contains all info, will work also. Here, you can provide the url, port, extra uri path,protocol(http/https). Well, now as we need a server, if you just click on the ‘Add’ button, you should come up with another(oh, yes, 🙂 ) new dialogue. However, I didn’t find a way to edit a server though,(is this a limitation that we can acknowledge? :p). That means, you can add or remove a server here. This should give you another new dialogue which can be used to manage TFS severs. As we don’t have any server configured, there will be nothing here at this moment. This originally contains the listing of team projects on a selected server. On visual studio menu, you should see a menu named ‘Team’, which will include only one option titled ‘Connect To Team Foundation Server’.įrom here, you will get an ‘Connect To Team Project’ dialogue. To Start working with TFS, first we will have to connect to TFS server and setup the initials. Also, For this tutorial, I have used visual studio 2010 and this is highly recommended. So, no need for any external installation. If you are a visual studio 2010 user, then you won’t have to do anything and its already a part of visual studio 2010. you can download the team system client for vs 2008 from this microsoft download link.

If you are using visual studio 2008, then you must need to have service pack 1 installed before you can install team foundation client software.

Also, as this tutorial is intended for developers only, I will only cover installing/configuring TFS client only. So, in this tutorial, I will be explaining the tfs source control part only. A single tutorial won’t be enough to cover all its features.

But, version control is only a part of this.Team foundation server(in short, TFS), is a great innovation of Microsoft, that is integrated with Visual Studio and provide a easy/effective way to manage a software development project completely. If you don’t know anything about Team foundation server, then you might be thinking that, its some kind of tool like SVN/GIT etc source version control system.
