Disclaimer: I started the git-tf project and although the project is now in very capable hands without me as a frequent contributor, you should absolutely consider my opinions on this to be strongly biased. (And, assuming you’re on Windows, perhaps unexpected.) There are two fundamental differences between the two tools: git-tfs was built for Windows … Read more
For me, the best solution is based on iSid’s answer: to add an external tool that pops up the old dialog. You can do this from Visual Studio: TOOLS -> External Tools… -> Add, with the following values: Title: Checkin (or any name that should be displayed in the menu) Command: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual … Read more
It’s easy in TFS2012, create a .tfignore file http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tfs/ms245454%28v=vs.110%29.aspx#tfignore ###################################### # Ignore .cpp files in the ProjA sub-folder and all its subfolders ProjA\*.cpp # # Ignore .txt files in this folder \*.txt # # Ignore .xml files in this folder and all its sub-folders *.xml # # Ignore all files in the Temp sub-folder \Temp … Read more
You should be able to do this with conditional constructs by editing the project file directly (VS IDE won’t do this for you). For example, you might do something like this using the “Choose” element: <Project xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003″ > <PropertyGroup> <!– … –> </PropertyGroup> <Choose> <When Condition=” ‘$(Configuration)’==’Debug’ “> <ItemGroup> <ProjectReference Include=”..\stuff\MyStuff.csproj”> <Project>{4c7bbe47-8d84-45d4-95f0-f640ba59563c}</Project> <Name>MyStuff</Name> </ProjectReference> </ItemGroup> … Read more
Here’s a list I’ve compiled for my own reference, along with some of the legal values that can be used. Note that these are passed into MSBuild using the /p:<PropertyName>=<Value> syntax. DeployOnBuild True False DeployTarget MsDeployPublish Package Configuration Name of a valid solution configuration CreatePackageOnPublish True False DeployIisAppPath <Web Site Name>/<Folder> MsDeployServiceUrl Location of MSDeploy … Read more
We wrote FlubuCore (rewrite of Flubu). It’s an open source C# library for building projects and executing deployment scripts using C# code. Main advantages of flubu that I see are: .Net Core support. Easy to learn and to use because you write build script entirely in C#. Fluent interface and intelisense. Quite a lot of … Read more
Alternatively you could also add a NuGet Installer build step before the Visual Studio Build step in your build configuration to restore all NuGet packages. There you can pass the location of your private repo as argument to nuget.exe: -source “https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/;http://mynugetserver”
This are the steps to effectively connect a TFS (TFVC) Repository to your VS Code on Mac: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE Install Visual Studio Code for Mac (currently here: https://code.visualstudio.com/download). Install the TFS extension for VS Code: Go to the Extensions tab in VS Code, Search for TFS and install. Install TEE-CLC. Follow this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPNaEIVZfr0&feature=youtu.be. … Read more
TFS redefined what “Get Latest” does. In TFS terms, Get Latest means get the latest version of the files, but ignore the ones that the server thinks is already in your workspace. Which to me and just about everyone else on the planet is wrong. See this link: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/srlteam/archive/2009/04/13/how-get-latest-version-really-works.aspx The only way to get it … Read more
I just found one easy way to do this: Create a new Workspace in TFS pointing to a separate folder, then switchover to this new workspace and do a Get Specific Version here. Makes sense now, I just hadn’t ever tried that.
