Have you ever wondered how many files are in your server? Or workspaces? Have you wanted to stop a request that was being processed? Using the administration web service and matching web page for TFS Source Control, you can do exactly that.For a beta 2 server, bring up http://localhost:8080/scc/application/admin.asmx in ...
A couple of months ago, Jeff Lucovsky wrote about filing watson reports for Team Foundation. When you log in as an administrator on the application tier for TFS, you may be greeted with a dialog asking if you would like to report errors to Microsoft. Likewise, if Visual Studio crashes, you may be asked to report the error to Micros...
Tonight I stumbled across Jeff Beehler's new blog. So far he's written about our effort to upgrade our dogfood system to new code (we've been using a system based on the beta 2 release), which we'll release as a mid-July CTP.

That CTP is now scheduled for July (it was the last week of June, so it didn't change much). So, anywhere you've see a reference to the June CTP for TFS in the forums, thi...
In the Team Foundation forum a question was asked regarding CVS compared to Team Foundation Version Control. Here's what I wrote. Of course, Team Foundation is much more than version control since we have integrated work item tracking, reporting, etc.I'm biased, of course, and I'm probably leaving stuff out. I've used CVS in the past, b...
We've had a lot of customer feedback on wanting integration in VS 2003, VB6, etc. The problem with the VS 2003 environment is that there can only be a single version of the CLR loaded into a process.
