I am using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate on Windows 7. When I'm trying to connect to tfs server, it shows me the list of projects correctly, but in the Team Explorer the project node is empty.
I can connect to the same project, using the same credentials from other machine in the same network. I also can go to the sharepoint site for that project. I'm just unable to connect to it using Team Explorer.
It doesn't give me any errors, there is nothing in the logs on my machine or on the server. I disabled firewall, checked all of the settings and credentials, nothing helped.
Does anybody know what could be the issue?
It could be that you don't have any projects selected. Click right button at the top of the Team Explorer window (Connect to Team Project). Select your server from the dropdown and select the projects you want in the right pane.
Those who are facing the above issue when connecting from Visual Studio 2010 with TFS, please install the following.
Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2010
Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Team Foundation Server Compatibility GDR

I have Visual Studio 2019 16.8.2 and I have installed the Office Development tools from Visual Studio Installer. I then created an Excel Web Add-In project and when I try to run the project, I get this error:
In the output window, there isn't much useful info:
Excel is of course installed, I have the following version:
Could there be some form of Compatibility issue? or maybe something in the Visual Studio Version?
I tried to check online but couldn't find anything related to this.
The problem is that you should not Visual Studio as administrator. When running as Admin it results in the error. Running as not admin works correctly.
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 have Windows 7 Professional x64. I have Visual Studio 2010 Premium and Visual Studio 2012 Premium installed on my machine.
I installed TFS Power Tools Decemeber 2011. I restarted my computer after successful installation. I then checked out a folder from TFS 2010 but the TFS menu items in Windows Explorer context menu do not appear when i right click on the folder.
I even reinstalled it by uinstalling it, restarting the pc and installing it again then restarting it again but same issue.
I have followed the instructions outlined in here:
TFS Power Tools: Shell Extension : Context Menu Quirky and TFS Icons on Files/Folders missing
But same issue same issue occurs. Would anyone know what else i can do to get the TFS menu items to appear in the context menu please?
Thanks in advance,
I am not sure if this would help or you are willing to use a new version but I had the exact same environment and issue with you.
What I had done is that I uninstalled the old TFS Power Tools ( listed with a "Microsoft Team Foundation Server" prefix and/or "Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server" in Control-Panel/Programs-and-Features ) and install a newer version which is RTM. You can download them at http://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=35775 and install the following in the same order listed below
Team Foundation Server 2012 RTM Power Tools.msi
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 Update 1 Power Tools.msi
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 Update 2 Power Tools.msi
Close Visual Studio before you start then restart after installing, you should see your context menu afterwards together with the green arrow that indicates it is in TFS
Here is a screenshot of it
Also please take note that after installation this would not happen instantaneously as advised on this post: TFS Power Tools: Shell Extension : Context Menu Quirky and TFS Icons on Files/Folders missing
It sometimes takes a while for the TfsComProviderSvr.exe to check if
the local folder is a workspace and register the shell extension.
So this depends on many variables, your TFS server speed, your machine speed and your network speed. In my case I left it overnight to fully show everything.
Windows has a limit on home many overlay icons it can support. This started happening to me after i installed google drive, one drive, and dropbox and the TFSOverlay got pushed down to the bottom in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer \ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
You can fix it by either
Uninstalling some of the overlay apps. (Eg: remove Google drive
or Dropbox)
Rename the TFS folders in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer \ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers to start with numbers so they take priority (Eg: "1TfsOverlayAdd" , "2TfsOverlayEdit" etc.).
Also there is usually a delay for the green icons to appear in the folder explorer, so be patient.
I was having the same problem and just I executed this file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2012 Power
Tools\TfsComProviderSvr.exe
After a few minutes the menu appeared.
This problem also occurs when you are running Visual Studio under different credentials (i.e. an account with Administrator privileges) than the logged on user. Logging on as that same user displays the ShellExtension correctly. But that's just not an option here...
I have not yet found a solution. It would be a nice feature to be able to set some options for TfsComProviderSvr.exe, so that one can let it watch workspace folders for a different 'Team Member' than the logged on user...
I've tried running Explorer.exe with other credentials, but that does not spawn a new TfsComProviderSvr.exe. Starting it by hand with the different credentials also does not seem to work. An instance of TfsComProviderSvr.exe is always (re)spawned for the currently logged on user.
Forgive me for sharing the obvious, but I had a similar issue, and in my case it appears that the default selected installed features were different than I expected.
I reran the installer using "Modify" instead of "Repair" and confirmed that the Windows Shell Extension feature was selected for installation:
I'm running a similar environment (VS 2010 Shell with VS 2013 Professional). Perhaps that impacts the defaults.
Here is the Power Tools Installer that I used.
I had a similar issue, I ripped off old the version, gave me some issues as you have to stop the TFS process and the explorer process but you can always restart explorer again once the old version has been uninstalled.
Then I restated my machine.
Installed latest version: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/b1ef7eb2-e084-4cb8-9bc7-06c3bad9148f ( version 11.0.60506.0 )
Restarted my pc again
Navigated to a source control folder and all TFS icons and shell extensions now started to appear.
Bottom line, the latest version worked for me, did not have to fiddle with reg'values at all.
Here's how I fixed mine. I had installed Visual Studio 2015 and installed TFS Power Tools for VS 2015. I also installed Visual Studio 2017. I generally use VS 2017 and had attached to TFS there. I hadn't attached VS 2015 to TFS and the power tools menu would not show up in explorer. I finally realized that when they say you have to have the same version of Visual Studio installed that you ALSO have to have that visual studio Team Explorer connected to TFS. You don't have to use it beyond that, but it must be connected using the dialog, like you see here.
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.

just wondering if it is possible to create a sharepoint workflow project in visual studio 2010 and doing development without a local sharepoint server installed?
working with sharepoint 2010
No, to utilize features of Visual Studio SharePoint Extensions, you must have SharePoint 2010 installed locally.
Yes that's possible:
http://techblog.hk.agenda-asia.com/2010/10/29/create-sharepoint-project-without-install-sharepoint-server/
This is indeed possible, here is a quick reference guide based on this thread (posting as an answer since I cannot add comments yet).
Build & create .wsp-solution for non-SharePoint environments:
Go to a SharePoint 2010 server.
Open Regedit and locate the node "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\14.0"
Right-click and export the node to a file.
Copy that file into your dev. environment, right-click and choose "Merge" (select "yes" in the security warning dialog).
Install the "Visual Studio 2010 SharePoint Power Tools" onto your development environment.
http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/8e602a8c-6714-4549-9e95-f3700344b0d9
Start Visual Studio in your development environment and open/create a project based on a SharePoint template (if new project, enter a dummy url when asked for the Sharepoint site location).
In order for the solution to build/compile, you will have to copy the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll (& possible the Microsoft.SharePoint.Security.dll) from the [hive-path]\ISAPI folder on a Sharepoint server, and add them as references in your Visual Studio projects.
You should now be able to select "Package" (right-click the project in Solution Explorer), this will create the .wsp-file for you in the [solution path]\bin[debug/release] folder.
You can create 'advanced' workflows with SharePoint Designer... Have you tried that yet?
