We have installed scrum v3 on server. Previously we had scrum v2 working fine on tfs 2008, but we upgraded tfs 2008 to tfs 2010. we have some issues with scrum v2 running on tfs 2010. but my concern is scrum v3 not visible as template when we create team project. I read on this site :
SfTS v3 Beta 2 and SfTS v2.x (TFS 2008) cannot coexist in a single TFS 2010 instance.
can this be a problem if yes, do i have to uninstall/delete scrum v2.
In order to have a process template visible in the team project creation you need to upload the template first. See Team -> Team Project Collection-> Process Template manager to upload a template.

VS 2012 published web service and click once deployment of a Windows forms application based on VB.NET and .Net 4.0 don't serve up the newer version of the software. They keep on serving the previous version. However it works fine with VS 2010. This is on IIS 7/7.5.
Anyone have any idea about it?
Thanks.
Never mind. I had to clean and rebuild. VS 2012 added an extra step over 2010.
We use TFS 2015 vNext as our build system. However we use dotCover from JetBrains as our code coverage tool. The reason we don't use the built-in TFS code coverage tool is that this requires an Enterprise licence and we only have Professional licences (and upgrading is not an option).
Is it possible to display code coverage from a different code coverage tool to be displayed on the build results page in TFS 2015 (as in the screen shot below)?
Possible duplicate with this question Display OpenCover results in TFS 2015 build Summary .Your requirement could be achieved after TFS2015 update2.
If you want to display your custom result in the build result summary,
seems you will have to write your own extensions. Help link:
Overview of extensions for Visual Studio Team Services
Base for this were a lot of examples provided by MS on github:
Visual Studio Team Services Tasks
Visual Studio Team Services Sample Extensions
To get a first feeling what places on your TFS Web Portal can be
extended/customized you can download and install this extension

I am using Git to push my project to Visual Studio Online. my project is linked to an azure website for continuous integration and delivery.
I have made changes to the Site.css file and pushed the changes to Visual Studio Online. the automatic build deployed the project to my azure website.
but my changes to the Site.css were not deployed to the website. although my other changes to the views and controllers are OK.
I have reviewed and verified that the updated Site.css is pushed successfully to Visual Studio Online. but for some reason it is not included or applied in the deployment.
when I publish the project from my local VS.2013 to the azure website it works fine and the css is updated.
the problem is in the continuous delivery from Visual Studio Online to Azure website.
what is required to include the Site.css in the continuous delivery ?
Can't seem to find an answer to this on MSDN or on here, does the Team Foundation Server 2013 API expose any methods to allow Project Creation? and if so in which classes?
No: project creation is a complex process involving many modules (DLLs). In fact, it requires Visual Studio (or Team Explorer) the same or newer version of TFS.
If you need to automate, you may use the tfpt createteamproject command line tool.
Update 2016-07-22: Since TFS 2015 Update 2 it is possible to create a project using the REST API.
I am testing web based products, and I am new to Microsoft tools. I am trying to figure out how test plan creation works, or can work depending on what configuration of Visual Studio tools I am using. I find a lot of conflicting info online.
I have the three tools below installed right now, but I can request something different if I need it. (Feel free to suggest). Any advice from pros more experienced with this tool set would be GREAT.
I access Team Foundation Server 2012 via my browser, where I can view and add product backlog items, bugs, sprints, the board etc. I cannot add test plans here, but I can add test cases to them.
I have Visual Studio 2013 installed on my PC. This seems like pretty much the same thing as the browser accessible tool, and I don't use it much because I find it easier to work from the browser for testing web.
I have Microsoft Test Manager 2012 installed on my PC. This appears to be the only place where I can create test plans, cases, and can create and utilize shared test case steps.
Questions:
How can I create test plans using the browser tool?
Is it possible to update the TFS 2012 Browser Tool to 2013, and how is that done?
Additionally to the #jessehouwing answer I would highly recommend you this free ebook:Testing for Continuous Delivery with Visual Studio 2012
Team Foundation Server 2012 update 2 adds Web Based test Case Management to TFS 2012, this is a smaller step than an upgrade to TFS 2013 all the way. You cannot just upgrade the Web Access part of a TFS installation, it would require a complete upgrade of the cluster. You also cannot just install this to your machine, it has to be installed on all the TFS servers in the cluster.
Traditionally Test Manager is the place to go to to do Test Suite Management and to view the results of a test run. Microsoft has started to move the functionality traditionally found in Test manager to the Web portal, It seems you're not the only person who found that easier to use. This transition started with TFS 2012 update 3 and was further expanded with TFS 2013.
So your options are:
Use Test Manager (you'll have to use it to manage certain things you cannot yet do on the web anyway).
Ask your Server Administrator to upgrade TFS 2012 to at least Update 2 (I'd recommend he upgrades to TFS 2012 update 4 or TFS 2013 in any case).
Ask your Server Administrator to upgrade TFS 2012 to TFS 2013.
