When trying to migrate from TFS 2010 to Visual Studio Online we are getting the error "Template Customization or Template Mismatch error". We know there have been a few customizations like adding more choices to dropdowns but don't know which ones or if there are other changes. A few people here suggested applying an uncustomized template to the projects in TFS but it's not clear which templates should be applied.
We have a project that uses the CMMI template but there are three versions of this on the TFS server - 4.0, 4.2 and 5.0. I don't see any way to tell which one was used to create the project. As a matter of fact the only reason I know it's CMMI is it errored when I created a project in Visual Studio Online with the Agile template and tried to migrate to that.
To add to the confusion, VSO only has templates with version 2013.3 so the project I'm migrating to uses the CMMI 2013.3 template. Should I add the older templates to Visual Studio Online and create my project using the same template?
Which template should I apply to the project to make it able to migrate? Should it be one of these or should I use the 2013.3 template?
Lastly, how do I get a copy of the uncustomized templates? Do I need to create a new project and export it?
Thanks,
Bill
You can use the CMMI process template from either TFS 2010, TFS 2012, or TFS 2013 with the OpsHub TFS to Visual Studio Online Migration Utility. It will attempt to move either of those three to Visual Studio Online's version of the CMMI process template.
You can use the TFS Team Project Manager on CodePlex to help you in comparing your team project's process template with a baseline CMMI process template to help you find the differences. You can create a default CMMI team project on a new TFS server and compare against your current team project.

I'd like to know if there is a way to automatically deploy NuGet package.
I tried many extensions but not working for VS 2017.
I do know that there is a packager as new VS 2017 feature. But there is no package tab in my project (.NET Library) properties.
If you want the integrated package management for .NET Framework Libraries (not .NET Standard or .NET Core), you can create a .NET Standard Library and edit the csproj file by replacing
<TargetFramework>netstandard1.4</TargetFramework>
with
<TargetFramework>net461</TargetFramework>
There is no built-in template yet for this library type and some designers (win forms, xaml, ..) will not be available but this unlocks all integrated packaging features.
My ultimate goal is to completely migrate eclipse (mars) project into Visual Studio environment.
During my research, I have tried several options:
1) Create project from existing code. Doesn't apply to my case, since my project is a combination of .java and .jsp files, wizard only offers C++, C#, Visual Basic options.
2) TFS plugin for eclipse.
3) Checking in the project from eclipse into tfs.
Within the third option, I am planning to create a new team project, and check in the project from eclipse based on that article manual.
My question is will I be able to open and operate project I checked in inside VS environment?
I am also opened to any other suggestion, which might help me resolve that problem.
If you have an Eclipse project and you want to move to something like Visual Studio there are three options:
Java Language Support plugin
Visual Studio Code
Java Language Service for Android and Eclipse Android Project Import
Except for the latest, I expect you have to review the build script to make it work in the new environment.
TFS/VSTS is language agnostic and has no interested in IDE and has no "project conversion" support.
No, sharing(check in) the project in Team Foundation server just means to source control the code. You can't directly using them in VS environment.
However you can download the project and work on it locally(local eclipse). Then check in the changes to TFS server. More details please refer: Importing Projects from Team Foundation Server
Here is a tutorial includes step-by-step instructions to help you get
started with the Team Foundation Server plug-in for Eclipse.

Our project currently is using Scrumwise for our agile project planning and we want to migrate to either JIRA or Visual Studio Online.
Is it possible to migrate backlog items (xml/csv/excel format) into VSO? Does it require a plugin tool or utility?
Using Excel can help you add work items into a team project in VSO.
install Microsoft Excel 2007 or a more recent version.
install visual studio to get the Team Foundation add-in to Excel
in Excel, start with a blank worksheet, find Team ribbon and click New List to connect to your team project hosted in Visual Studio Online, then select Input list
specify the titles of the work items you want to add and their work item type.
publish your worksheet
Detailed information, you can refer to the MSDN documentation https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vs/alm/work/office/bulk-add-modify-work-items-excel
I have been working on a Visual Studio solution template to be used internally and have been developing this in a Visual Studio 2012 Addin.
The addin is added to the tools menu of Visual Studio and all works fine.
The only question now is, how can I share this tool between my team?
I have added a VSIX project, which in turn references the Solution Template project (added as an asset) but will this alone do it?
I can't see how installing the VSIX I created is manually going to add my add-in to the Visual Studio Tools window.
Can anyone offer any advice as to how I can do this or is there some other way to deploy/publish a Visual Studio addin?
I have found a tutorial which is similar, but I just want to use the VSIX to install my add-in to Visual Studio tools menu, rather than add it as a project template. I have looked around and there doesn't seem to be much information on how to deploy your addin.
It seems addins are soon to be deprecated with the next release of Visual Studio, although I have found this article on how to convert an addin to a VSPackage.
And with a VSPackage I will be able to deploy using VSIX.
There are also some tutorials on VSPackages here.
I would like to know how to connect Xamarin Studio with a TFS (Team Foundation Server) for source control purposes or, if it's not possible, how to connect Visual Studio 2010 to Git.
I am already trying to use TFS from http://tfs.visualstudio.com/ and it's working great with VS2010 but I couldn't find a way to connect it to Xamarin Studio.
The goal is to manage all source codes in the same way - the developers are located in different places so the server should be placed in internet - and I think I will decide among TFS or Git. I tried to use the Git Plugin but it doesn't work with VS2010.
Is there anyone who already found a good solution? I know there's a plugin for VS2012 (Using Git with Visual Studio) but I found nothing for 2010 version.
I tried to use this too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efS0kKvfi6k but I think it's not what I am looking for (reliable way to manage source codes from a server)!
I am ready to install and use other source control systems too, if they can manage sources from VS and Xamarin Studio.
First, you have to have a git-enabled team project. Then from Xamarin Studio click on version control menu then choose checkout. Enter your team project url tfs credentials to git clone it.
Xamarin studio integrates with git and subversion out of the box now, and will connect to any tfs projects that have been git enabled. (i don't use subversion so i can't speak to that one)
