This might sound like a silly question but is there a manual or a guide on how to set up Team Foundation Server 2010 in Visual Studio 2010 Premium or Ultimate? It comes built-in right?
I've only got up to the Server list part. It's asking me to select a TFS server and port, but I don't think I have one. All I have installed is Visual Studio 2010. According to this product comparison page, TFS 2010 should come pre-installed with Visual Studio 2010.
Team Foundation Server is the source control server application. It is not the same as Visual Studio 2010 Premium/Ultimate.
In order to use TFS, you must install it on a machine on your network, then connect to it using the client, which is what comes preinstalled with Visual Studio.
Back in 2008, you'd have to download the TFS Client separately and install that in order to connect Visual Studio to a TFS instance. This might be what's leading to your confusion.
No, it doesn't come built in. Team Foundation Server is a separate product from Visual Studio; the (slightly misleading) table on the page you linked does indicate that TFS "can be purchased separately."

I want to install Visual Studio Community edition and I need to use Visual Studio Team Services (was Visual Studio Online) free account as source control.
The information on the visual studio site seems to indicate no functionality available under the Team Foundation section. But from a lot of searching online I have found conflicting advice and people say that they have been able to use it with an in-house TFS etc.
Can I use the Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition with the Visual studio Team Services free services like source control, work item tracing, branching/merging code etc?
The answer is YES. You can use any VS edition to connect to Visual Studio Team Service.
when running windows 8.1 I had the windows explorer extension that allowed TFS 2013 integration.
After an upgrade to Windows 10 that has "made off" as the police would like to say.
Has anyone got this working and if they have what did they do?
Beginning with Visual Studio 2017, a new extension called Microsoft Team Foundation Version Control Windows Shell Extension has been published to the Visual Studio Marketplace.
The description says:
This release requires a computer with Visual Studio 2017 and all of the Visual Studio system requirements. It supports all TFS Server versions that are supported by Visual Studio 2017:
Team Foundation Server 2018
Team Foundation Server 2017
Team Foundation Server 2015
Team Foundation Server 2013
Team Foundation Server 2012
Team Foundation Server 2010 SP1
Visual Studio Team Services
I have finally got to the bottom of this. It turns out that you dont match the power tools to teh TFS version (even though they are TFS power tools), you match them to the Visual Studio version regardless of the TFS version.
So in my case I have visual studio 2015 and TFS 2013. I need to install the power tools for TFS 2015.
Thanks for your help everyone
Dave is correct that, you need to install TFS 2013 Power Tool to use Windows Shell Extension.
Then you can get the extension in a local folder which is in a TFVC mapped workspace folder.
A similar topic as this has been discussed, but my problem lies with a different version of Visual Studio; I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Professional and Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express.
I am following this tutorial and I have progressed to the "Accessing Your Model's Data from a Controller" section.
It says to open Server Explorer, expand Tables and right-click the Movies table and select Show Table Data. This option is missing (along with Add New Table, Add New Trigger, New Query and Open Table Definition). I only have Copy, Refresh and Properties.
Other posts talk about SQL Server Data Tools. On the page to download it there is a link to download "Download Visual Studio 2013 with SQL Server Tooling", which goes to a page to download a trial copy of Visual Studio 2013.
It makes little sense to me. Am I suppose to have the option in 2013 Professional or not? I have also installed Visual Studio 2013 Update 2.
I had the same problem. I tried to install SSDT for Visual Studio. Make sure that the Visual studio version matches.
The reason for me to have this problem: Because I reinstalled SQL server management, and this overwrote the "old" one (which is match VS).
Was wondering if anyone has had success with getting a local TFS 2010 build server to perform builds for a project hosted in Visual Studio Online?
We have some legacy components (and some more recent .NET components) in our build (VB6, NSIS) and we have XP machines running TFS 2010 which can build these (we also have reasons to want to perform the build under an x86 OS).
Moving to Visual Studio Online, we had hoped to be able to keep our existing TFS 2010 build servers (or clone the VMs at least) and just point them at the cloud; however running the TFS 2010 installer and its setup wizard does not seem to work; even after installing TFS 2010 SP1 and the Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Team Foundation Server Compatibility GDR.
The problem seems to be that TFS 2010 does not recognise MSDN accounts as the credentials for the connection to TFS; I can get as far as entering the URL for our VS Cloud, selecting the project, and then proceeding through the wizard to specify the build controllers and agents, and the user the service runs under, but the verify step then fails saying that the account the build server runs under (I have tried my personal account and Network Service - MSDN accounts are refused) does not have permission within our Visual Studio Online project.
I have seen that other versions of TFS allow a separate MSDN account to be specifies for the Visual Studio Online credential, but even after installing SP1 and the hotfix this does not seem to be supported under TFS 2010.
Online searches for this have been unhelpful.
Does anyone have direct experience of this kind of setup?
My team is moving to TFS 2010, but all of our old projects are from our stand alone VS 2005 and VS 2008. We did not have Team Server. Can put our projects under source control in TFS 2010 without upgrading and migrating them?
If you don't want your VS 2005/2008 projects upgraded (most likely VS 2010 will only touch the solution file), then you can install
this for VS 2005 (allows you to connect to TFS 2010 from VS 2005)

No, you need to migrate them using VSSConverter. Another option is to simply keep the old VSS2005 in play and switch Source Control as necessary in VS.
