What is the best approach to move a single project from tfs 2015 to tfs 2017 (different server)

I have 2 different tfs server setup , one runs with tfs 2015 other with tfs 2017.
I need to move a specific project from 2015 to the 2017 instance.
Please guide me with the best approach that we can go with...
You could not directly move things based on team project level , this seems like an inherent design issue with the source and work item entities. Since there is also not able to move a Team Project between Team Project Collections, there has been a uservoice:

You have to move the entire team project collection if you want to keep all workitems, source control history for that specific project. If you just want code, the simplest way is copy them and add it in a newly created team project in TFS2017.

TFS Checked in items not available in view history (intermittent)

I have recently experienced a strange problem in tfs source control . I added some code in two different parts of n-tier solution in visual studio 2012; code behind aspx.vb file and class library project, they appeared in pending changes, I checked-in and did something else in the project but later on I found the changes I made in the code are not there anymore.I checked the view history from source control explorer and those changes are not shown in view history. However If i update existing code base now and do check-in pending changes they are showin in view history. Can any body tell why in first place checked-in changes are gone from tfs or is there anything I can do to retrieve those changes. TFS server is 2008
Thanks
I would suggest that there was something wrong with the workflow you used to perform the first checkin. Checkins are atomic so you can't have some files checked in an others not.
The most common scenario would be that the scope of your checkin was incorrect.
Note: You should move ASAP to upgrade your TFS server to 2013. TFS 2008 no longer revives servicing.

Can't get SQL code working on Visual Studio

With the exception of a little HTML/Javascript, I've always used C++ on Visual Studio C++ 2010. I have an internship next week that will involve the use of SQL and .Net. I'm currently reading a book on SQL and it instructs us to go to its website to download code so that we can practice. The website is here: http://forta.com/books/0672336073/ I downloaded the one labeled "Microsoft SQL Server" which is basically two .sql files. One creates a simple database and the other one populates it.
However, for the life of me I cant figure out how to do it on Visual Studio 2010 or 2013 (I downloaded the full version of 2010). If anyone knows how to get these file to run on either VS version I would be very happy. I'm used to just hitting the green arrow button in Visual Studio C++ 2010, which I believe is execute. Obviously it isnt working for my sql code.
On VS 2013 I created a new "SQL Server Database Project". I then added two new "Application Role" items for the two .sql files. Now after clicking the "SQL" tab and "Execute" I get error messages about duplicate objects/keys, which I assume means the database is already created...but how do I view it? At one instance I mustve hit the right combination of buttons because I was able to view my database in a table format.
Thanks for any suggestions!
In visual studio go to view and select sql server, (see image) then click the + symbol and connect to the server installed on your machine (if its not yet listed)

Visual Studio 2013 SQL Query and View Designer not appearing

Not sure why the Query and View Designer is not appearing as per
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms172013.aspx
It's an ASP.net project with database in the AppData folder, and a connection using SQL 2008 Express.
If it helps the connection string is:
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:\folders...\App_Data\database.mdf";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
If I open the project in VS2012 (where I've worked on this project for some time), find a table, right click, new query, I get the nice interactive visual design tool.
If I open the project in VS2013 (just installed) and do the same, blank page named SQLQuery1.sql and a basic connection to SQL Express (ie. master, model, etc.)
MS page tells me Tools / Options / Visual Database tools - but this doesn't exist on my installation!
Am I missing something?
Also tried with blank project, added App_Data and a new database (so using LocalDB), added a table, right click, new query - exactly the same blank file.
I have been having the same problem and think I have found the solution.
When you are adding the connection to the Database, in the Add Connection Dialog.
Click 'Change...' next to the Data source
Dialog opens showing 'Change Data Source'
You probable have selected 'Microsoft SQL Server' and then below that there is a drop down where you can select:
.NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB
.NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server (This is probably selected by default)
try changing to the OLE DB connection.
Click OK, and then complete the rest of the connection on the 'Add Connection' dialog.
I have then found that using the database works as it did in VS2012 and as you are describing above.
Was searching for a solution to a similar issue. Unable to use Query Designer for a local mdf file database. This is what I found...hope it helps someone.
Reading the comments here (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/ed4675d3-aa84-47db-bdf5-f852355409e6/query-designer-not-displaying-in-visual-studio-2013?forum=ssdt).
According to the moderator of that forum question (Kevin Cunnane of Microsoft), "in Visual Studio 2013 the query designer and database diagram features are no longer available from the Server Explorer. If you wish to keep using the query designer, the only other workaround for now is to access it from SSMS. "
My current workaround is to use Visual Studio 2012 Server Explorer to view data and write queries for a local MDF file. And to use Visual Studio 2013 for everything else.
I have researched about 5 minutes how to run a query in Visual Studio. At the end I found this:
Even though i followed same steps , It did not work at once it gave some error and Studio closed. It was problem at my end and unknowingly it got sorted out on its own.
This component is called "SQL Server Data Tools". You can download it from MSDN. I found this page simply by googling "vs2013 ssdt". It seems that what TsugaSoft posted is true, however you still can install this component separetely... And it also works for Visual Studio 2012.
