#Tfs visual studio 2015 tutorial pdf install#

Well, now as we need a server, if you just click on the ‘Add’ button, you should come up with another(oh, yes, 🙂 ) new dialogue. However, I didn’t find a way to edit a server though,(is this a limitation that we can acknowledge? :p). That means, you can add or remove a server here.

This should give you another new dialogue which can be used to manage TFS severs. As we don’t have any server configured, there will be nothing here at this moment. This originally contains the listing of team projects on a selected server. On visual studio menu, you should see a menu named ‘Team’, which will include only one option titled ‘Connect To Team Foundation Server’.įrom here, you will get an ‘Connect To Team Project’ dialogue. To Start working with TFS, first we will have to connect to TFS server and setup the initials. Also, For this tutorial, I have used visual studio 2010 and this is highly recommended. So, no need for any external installation. If you are a visual studio 2010 user, then you won’t have to do anything and its already a part of visual studio 2010. you can download the team system client for vs 2008 from this microsoft download link.

If you are using visual studio 2008, then you must need to have service pack 1 installed before you can install team foundation client software. Also, as this tutorial is intended for developers only, I will only cover installing/configuring TFS client only.

So, in this tutorial, I will be explaining the tfs source control part only. A single tutorial won’t be enough to cover all its features. But, version control is only a part of this.Team foundation server(in short, TFS), is a great innovation of Microsoft, that is integrated with Visual Studio and provide a easy/effective way to manage a software development project completely. If you don’t know anything about Team foundation server, then you might be thinking that, its some kind of tool like SVN/GIT etc source version control system.
