We use Team Foundation Version Control(TFVC) on on-prem TFS server. For quite a while it was possible to use TFS Power Tools (tfpt tool) from Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt. Lately we moved to VS 2019. Problem is that we can't find any proper TFS Power Tools for VS 2019. For example to do undo checkout of unmodified files.
Does anyone had similar problem not being able to use tftp tools from VS 2019?

Sorry for any inconvenience.
This is a know issue about Visual Studio 2019. The Team Foundation Server Power Tools currently only updated to TFS2017, TFS2019 is not yet available.
Besides, Power tool has been renamed TFS Process Template Editor: TFS Process Template Editor
Edit: As of 10/16/2020 there is a TFS Template Editor for Visual Studio 2019
MS engineers are trying to develop it and will release it so that you can use it as soon as possible.
If you want to modify the work items, you can modify the work items by referring to the following documents:
Import, export, and manage work item types
Hope this helps.
For undoing unmodified files changes you can use this extension https://stackoverflow.com/a/52839174/6300406

I'm looking for a new html/jquery/css IDE to edit and publish existing websites. Can I use Visual Studio Community 2015 to edit a website that doesn't use .NET and publish it to a server using ftp?
Yes you can use Visual Studio as your main editor. Select any ASP.NET project as your starting point, delete everything in the project and you're good to go. You can add a Publish Profile to enable web deployment (which supports FTP).
It will require the concept of a "Project File" for most features to work well. There is the old Web Site project which just works on any folder, but that hasn't seen much love in the past years. It's new cousin is being introduced with Visual Studio 15 (which will likely be Visual Studio 2016 or 2017).
As an alternative you may want to look at Visual Studio Code as well, it's the light weight cousin of Visual Studio Community Edition and is suited perfectly for the kind of work you're planning it seems.
I worked for year using CVS source control with Windows Explorer integration using TortoiseCVS which enabled me to view the history of my files in a graphical way and allow me to compare any 2 versions of the file without the need to open IDEs.
Lately I started working in a new place that uses TFS which require me to open Visual Studio every time I want to see the file history.
It would be great to have this level of integration between TFS and Windows Explorer. I wonder if any third party has developed such functionality?
Currently I use C# with Visual Studio 2013.
This is what I see when I choose Revision Graph:
Shell integration can be installed as part of the Visual Studio Power Tools for Team Foundation Server 2013. Make sure you check the "Windows Shell Extensions" option.
To see the revision graph, I am afraid you still need to open Visual Studio and use the Track Changeset feature which seems the closest as far as I can tell.
That and the "Incoming Changes" codelens that was added to Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and which is going to be part of Visual Studio 2015 Professional and up.
I opened our Visual Studio 2010 Professional and noticed that I do not have an option New>.. the only options I have are:
New Team Project (not what I want to use, I simply want a new project)
Connect to Team Project
New File (looked and didn't see an option for New Project)
Open File..
I also tried resetting all settings to default by using Tools> Import and Export Settings> Reset all Settings.
Any ideas?
Much appreciated, thank you!
Alright so this did it for me:
I had to add SQL Server Data Tools to my SQL Server 2012 installation (done by adding/removing features)
Downloaded Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2010
Downloaded SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012
(I know it says 2012 but according to this article it says that you need to download either VS 2012 or VS 2013 since they no longer support the SSDT for 2010.
I found this very helpful when researching the entire problem, it highlights scenarios that work and that don't work as well as what to do to remedy the situation.
I really hope that this helps anyone in the future with the same problem I had. Let me know :)
We are a small design agency based on .net. The devs use VS and TFS. Is there a way of setting up the designer with some kind of way of getting source code and building it on their machines without the full version of VS which is pretty expensive for people who only want to change CSS and odd bit of HTML. The designers currently use Dreamweaver.
Visual Studio 2010 Express does not have a support for TFS.
But now you can use Visual Studio 11 Express which supports TFS.
Visual Studio 11 Express Features
In TFS2010, you can install the Team Explorer and use your favorite file editing tool. The designer then only needs a TFS CAL to connect to the TFS server.
I think the title is very clear, but also i want to say why:
I already downloaded TFS 2010 and Team explorer 2010, but i'm still using VS2008 (with no short-time plans to change)
My question, can i use those toghether?
Also, my VS is just the professional version. I don't want to download the TE2008 because for my internet conection, it is just too big.
Thanks in advance
The 2010 client is backwards compatible with 2008 servers (though not 2005). Details: http://blogs.msdn.com/teams_wit_tools/archive/2009/10/19/compatibility-matrix-for-2010-beta-2-team-foundation-server-to-team-explorer-2008-and-2005.aspx
However, it will not integrate inside the VS2008 shell. If you want full source control integration you'll need to download TE2008 + SP1.
