If you are not able to connect to TFS VS2010 from VS2008. This might save you some time.
Connecting from VS2008 to TFS VS2010
Step:1 Make sure that Service Pack 1 is installed with Sql Server 2008
Step:2 Make sure that Service Pack 1 is installed with VS2008
Step:3 Make sure that Team Explorer is installed in VS 2008
Step:4 Make sure that Service pack 1 is updated for Team Explorer
Step:5 After all these Service Packs are installed on your machine, follow the below path
CmdPrompt> regedit
Hkey_Current_User>Software>Microsoft>VisualStudio>9.0>TeamFoundation> Right Click Servers>New>String Value
Give the complete URL path which look like ‘http://swstfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection’
Step:6 Close everything and open VS2008
File>Open>TeamProject
Step: 7 Connect.
I connected to TFS, but the problem is while I am trying to open the solution through VS2008 into TFS it is showing me an error
"This project (fmPilot.SSIS.ClientIntegrations.sln) cannot be opened from source control because it was created by a version of Microsoft Visual Studio that is incompatible with this one.
If this is the case, you may be able to open it from source control using that version of Microsoft Visual Studio, and then use Microsoft Visual Studio to open the local copy."
I also tried it through VS2010 but it is showing me an error
"Cannot be openned because its project type(/dtproj) is not supported bby this version of the application."
Can somebody help me on that..... I google it some says that permission might be the reason.. Please help me...
Thanks,
Karthik
Make sure that you have Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) installed on your machine. Having just Visual Studio 2008 doesn't mean that you can open SSIS packages.
To verify whether you have BIDS installed:
Open Visual Studio 2008 IDE. Click Help and About Microsoft Visual Studio.
Make sure that you see SQL Server Integration Service.
Another way to verify is by trying to create a new project in VS 2008. You should see Business Intelligence Projects under Project types.
If you do not see this, then it means you don't have BIDS installed on your local machine. You can install BIDS by installing SQL Server 2008 client tools.
Following link shows how to install SQL Server 2008 client tools.

I just install Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18 and the window pop up with
"Ssms.exe - Application Error"
"the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."
I tried most of the solution found on Google and YouTube.
(Window Update, reinstall .net framework, .net runtime, microsoft visual c++ redistributable package, use admin to run program, re-install and repair Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18)
I will be really appreciated it.
UPDATE: [Solved] I use dependency Walker to find out which dll is crushing the program (in my case mscvr120.dll) and re-download it to fix the crush.
I have the following installed on my machine:
SQL Server 2012 developer edition
VS Express 2013 for Web
VS Express 2013 For Desktop
TFS Express 2013
I can check in/out my projects through both VS Express 2013 installs, I am wanting to make my Stored Procs encrypted so need to keep unencrypted copies within a solution in TFS so have this setup but whenever I try to check in via SSMS I get the error:
Could not load file or assembly
"Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.ControlAdapter"
Version=12.0.0.0
Has anyone experienced this before or have a solution how to resolve it as the file does exist on my machine.
Have you installed the latest MSSCCI Provider found on visual studio gallery? And have you checked the SSMS options under source control provider, that it is set to Team Foundation Server. Remember that MSSCCI Provider requires Team Explorer 2013 to be installed as well.
I went to create a SP2010 Workflow project in VS2010, and it complained that I did not have SP Server installed on my machine.
Well, I do not want to install SP2010 on my dev machine. I have a perfectly good dev instance installed onto a VM.
Is it possible at all to design SP 2010 workflow projects in VS2010 without having a local instance of Sharepoint?
Cheers,
Daniel
Well, it looks like the answer is "No, you must have SP2010 installed locally"
Will VS let you continue after receiving that message?
Microsoft recommendation is to install Visual Studio on the your DEV VM (running Windows Server 2008 R2) that has SharePoint running. You'll also get additional debug features by doing this, like F5 debugging/breakpoints, and auto deploy/retract of your solutions.
I can't find Business Intelligence Development Studio in Sql Server 2005.
I have installed Visual Studio 2008 and Sql Server 2005 Standard edition.
How can i view
You can tell if it is installed by looking at "new project" in Visual Studio. Do you have BI projects available?
If so, this is it. You can now develop BI stuff.
If not, did you check the box under client tools when installing? Run install again.
BIDS isn't a separate install but a Visual Studio plug-in
You do need to select it when installing though. You could probably run a reinstall and add it if you don't have it already.
while installing, you might have not selected the feature. in this case, re run the Installation process.
You Must Install SSDT(Sql Server Data Tools) Tools
When you Installed that , and you want Create New Project, you must see Business Intelligence Section in part of Template
I just installed SQL Server 2005 and it installed Visual Studio 2005 too. What's the point of this? Is there an option in the SQL Server installation that can prevent this. If I uninstall Visual Studio now will it mess anything up? What if I now install Visual Studio 2008 too?
The visual studio that you get is a shell called Business Intelligence Development studio and it allows you to create Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services projects. Also it allows you to deploy those projects to your SQL Server. If you already have Visual Studio installed, it will add those project types to it.
With the Development Studio you can add .Net projects such as C# or VB to your Analysis Services or Reporting Services projects to create custom components for them. There are additional benefits, but you should just do a search for Business Intelligence Development Studio to see what else can be done.
EDIT:
I just noticed that you were asking about what happens if you uninstall Visual Studio 2008. There should be a listing under your installed Programs called Visual Studio Shell or something of that nature, which is the Business Intelligence Development Studio and is independent of the main Visual Studio 2008 install. Both of them will allow you to create the Ms SQl Projects that I listed above. When you uninstall Visual Studio 2008 it won't uninstall this application and vice verse. If you do accidentally delete it, you can always install it again using your MS SQL CDs. There are instructions on the web to do so.
The version of Visual Studio that gets installed is necessary for doing the work you need to do in SQL Server. The old tools are going away, and this is part of the new.
Personally, I miss the Enterprise manager and SQL Query Analyzer from the SQL Server 2000 days, but they aren't likely to come back.
Edit - added
OK. The above was a bit flippant for an answer.
But to answer your comment, Management Studio IS Visual Studio, configured and modified to work with SQL Server.
