Tips and Tricks

• When checking an item into source control you have the ability to associate a WI with that change set. If you choose to do so there are two options, Resolve and Associate. If you select Resolved the WI state will advance to the next state.

• Fully process the TFS warehouse

• Team Explorer blank ( missing server or lost network connection )

  • Delete the cache folder @
    • C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Portfolio Explorer
    • C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Team Foundation\1.0

• Tools to modify WIT

  • WitExport.exe, WitImport.exe, WitFields.exe
  • These are found @ c:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\

• Change the TFS warehouse run interval

  • settingID: RunIntervalSeconds

• Secure a WIT transistion

  • <TRANSITION from="State 1" to="State 2"
    for="[global]\StateChangers"
    not="[global]\GroupThatsRestrictedStateChanges" >
