Somehow on my team's TFS server, one of our projects got deleted. The code is on my local machine though so I'm trying to get it reuploaded, but I'm running into issues getting it back on the server. I've recreated the project and given it the same name and Visual Studio seems to recognize that the new project I've created is connected to the Project I'm trying to upload as a result. The problem is that when I try to check in the version I have to the new project it throws a pile of errors because the files "does not exist at the specified version or you do not have permission to access it". Is there some way to force the upload so that the files are all on the server again?
First remove .* folder from your current working project.
Then go to Visual Studio
Open Team Explorer
Click On Manage Connection
Add your account If not added
Enter your tfs url
Select your TFS folder where you want to checked in your code.
Try to checked in your code.
Even though you have deleted the project on server side, all changes in TFS are non-destructive.
You could check this, just navigate to the Source Control –> Visual Studio Team Foundation Server section.
In that section is a check box that says "Show deleted items in the Source Control Explorer"
If you have recreated the project and given it the same name and want check in local code to TFS. This may cause some trouble.
Suggest you to permanently destroy the project in TFS using Destroy Command (Team Foundation Version Control)
tf destroy [/keephistory] <itemspec1>[;<versionspec>][<itemspec2>...<itemspecN>]
[/stopat:<versionspec>] [/preview] [/startcleanup] [/noprompt] [/silent] [/login:username,[password]] [/collection:TeamProjectCollectionUrl]]
After destroy the old project, then create a new project with the same name, add your local code to this project, finally check in pending changes.

I am trying to move a folder in TFS 2010. After coming to grips with the fact that TFS can't do this without losing the folder's history (see this question and users' responses to Microsoft), I tried the following TF.EXE command:
tf rename Apps "Test Main\Apps"
But I get an error message.
TF10169: Unsupported pending change attempted on team project folder $/Apps. Use the Project Creation Wizard in Team Explorer to create a project or the Team Project deletion tool to delete one.
The Apps folder does not appear to have any pending changes but I tried some other folders for good measure and got the same result.
I do not want to create or delete any Team projects. What am I missing?
$/Apps is not a folder, it is the root of a team project. Think of it as "C:\". You can create folders underneath it, but it's a special entity with its own set of rules.
So, what does this mean for what you're trying to do? It looks like your goal is to rename the team project. Unfortunately, TFS 2010 does not support renaming team projects, although TFS 2015 and beyond do.
If you want to rename the "Apps" team project, you will have to upgrade to a modern version of TFS, but at a minimum TFS 2015.
Otherwise, you will have to manually create a new team project with your desired name and check in the source code. You won't be able to move it from within the source control explorer.
However, keep in mind that there is more to a team project than just source code -- any work items or build definitions will not transfer to the new team project, and there is not a mechanism for moving them.
So, your options are:
Live with the name
Upgrade to TFS 2015 or beyond (ideally the most recent version, of course)
Create a new team project
This is a bit strange.
I created a project, added it to source control, worked on it for a day or two, but never checked it in.
Somehow, the project went missing from my local workspaces folder. It's just gone.
In Source Control Explorer in VS.. it shows a green plus next to the project on both the TFS pane and the local pane.
If I right click the project in the local pane and choose Check In, it prepares my check-in, and when I finally proceed with the check-in process, I get this error:
C:\Users\<me>\Source\Workspaces\Workspace\AG\libCrypto\AGCrypto.sln: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\<me>\Source\Workspaces\Workspace\AG\libCrypto\AGCrypto.sln'.
Because, as I said.. the project folder vanished. This is really concerning.. especially if it were to happen to a larger project. Under no circumstance would I ever manually remove something from my workspace folder.
Could there possibly be anywhere else where I might be able to find my project? Maybe in some cache/temp location?
I'm using VS 2015 Enterprise, TFS2015
TFS won't remove project from workspace. I'm afraid you there is wrong process or operation on your local machine causes the project deleted.
As your project hasn't been checked into TFS, TFS doesn't have record for this project, it's unable to get your project back on TFS side.
You need to focus on how to recover files on your local machine if you need the project back.
I have multiple solutions that were previously mapped to a hosted TFS. Their local mapping was defined as well and all the source code was up-to-date locally. I have since discontinued my TFS subscription and started using visualstudio.com as my TFS server.
I went into one of the solutions, deleted the *.vssscc files from the solution and the *.vspscc files from each nested project. When I open the solution in VS 2013, the output window gives me a message saying the the original TFS (unsubscribed now) is not available and that the solution is open offline.
As a result, when I choose the "Change source Control" option, it first asks me to log in to the old TFS whose credentials are no longer valid.
Furthermore, it tells me that the local directory I am trying to map to the new TFS is already mapped to the old TFS. How can I remove this mapping without having access to the old TFS?
Not sure if this works if you're offline, but you can remove the mapping by opening the Manage Workspaces area in Source Control Explorer (click on the ... option of the dropdown to the right of Workspace:)
Manage Workspaces -> Select your workspace -> Edit -> Remove or change your mapping.
It's probably easiest to remove the mappings using the commandline
tf workspaces /remove workspacename;owner /collection:http://urlto.old:8080/tfs/ProjectCollection
After removing the old workspace configuration for the current folder and mapping the folder to your new subscription, Visual Studio should prompt you to automatically update the solution bindings to the new server.
This will not delete your workspace from the server (which keeps track of the workspaces), but since you no longer have access to it, it should be enough to let your client forget the folder is mapped.
The answers here work when the old TFS server is available. Mine wasn't but has not been removed from the server list in VS. Removing that entry allowed me to remove the solution from source control entirely along with the mapping and add it to another source control server.
Recently I have been working on a project and have been waiting to publish it to Azure. Before I was able to do this my local user account on my machine was changed. Now when I try to add the project solution to the solution control explorer I get "access to path [old username]/my documents/projects is denied." I have the project copied from the old user account onto the new one I am using. I opened from this location, but it still seems to reference the old path. How do I change this and/or what settings do I need to change?
I have uploaded the project into the source control explorer for the project, and the rest of the team can view it. It is possible to re-load the project from here and create a new work space mapping on the new local account? If so how can I do this?
I managed to get it moved by doing the following, thanks jessehouwing for the push in the right direction.
Closed Visual Studio
Went to old account, copied project directly to the C drive
Went to the new account, opened the project from there
Deleted mapping referenced in the picture in jessehouwing's answer
Created new mapping under a different name, because even though the old one was removed, there was still a naming conflict (I have no clue)
Mapped the source control and local folder from scratch
You will have to change your workspace mapping. If the Source Control Explorer allows you, you can open the Workspace dropdown (in the toolbar) and edit the current mapping.
If the Source Control Explorer doesn't allow you due to Access Denied errors, you can also use the commandline utility tf.exe to remove them.
tf workspaces /remove
And then create a new one through the UI or also from the commandline using
tf workspace /new
tf workfold /map
I'm re-using an old picture here, step 4 should be to fix the paths in the Workspace folders list on the bottom of the dialog :).
This is still happening in 2022 and below are steps we have resolved this "Access Denied" in visual studio (2019 in our case) for Azure DevOps Server.
Open visual studio command line and run the command;
tf workspace /delete “WORKSPACE_NAME;OWNER”
Open folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft Team Foundation Local Workspaces and delete anything folder inside
Verify C:\ProgramData\Microsoft Team Foundation Local Workspaces
folder has the user you are logged into the machine as full access
Go back into Visual Studio and reestablish your workspaces and
perform a get latest
Newb to Ankhsvn and Ubersvn integration.
I have existing web projects built in Visual Studio 2010 and am attempting to add them into a newly created repositories. The issue I'm having is trying to configure the working local directory. I've got my projects contained in various folders on my machine but it seems Ankhsvn will not let you change the "Local Folder" (which I'm assuming is the working folder) on your machine, it only gives selected options in a dropdown. I know Visual Studio generates it's own solution file in the standard directories (my docs../vis stud../projects/...) but that is not my working directory which it seems Ankhsvn is fixed in.
I don't want to have to move my projects around (and probably don't have enough space on my c: drive anyway). Does someone have any insight on how I can configure the local folders ankhsvn and Ubersvn can work out of?
Using Windows 7 64bit if that has any bearing as well. Our svn repository is hosted externally.
UPDATE
Well I haven't heard any feedback yet on this so I basically went ahead and used the following methodology to get my files into the repository:
1) Used TortoiseSVN to add the files to the svn repository (with TortoiseSVN installed, right click on the folder you want to add, TortoiseSVN -> Import and basically add in the repository URL ad go about adding in folders and files as desired.
2) next step was to then open Visual Studio 2010 and open the given web project folder and then go File -> Subversion -> Open project from subversion. NOTE: make sure when you open that you select the correct folder to import to. It should be one level above the given folder you selected.
3) after the import, all my files appeared as in conflict. I basically just commited the files and the issue went away.
So I now have my project hooked into svn and working through Ankhsvn but has to use TortoiseSVN to get it done...hmmm
To administer the repository in uberSVN you need to make it aware of the repository. The easiest way to do this is to create the repository within the uberSVN admin page, but you've already done that bit, so we need to make uberSVN aware of it.
To do this:
Create a Dump file based on your manually created repository
Login to uberSVN as an System Admin or Repository Admin
Click on Repositories
Click on Add
Enter a Repository Name (which will enter a Location automatically)
Click Next
Click Import From Uploaded Dump File or Import From Dump File Located On The Server
Select the Dump file in question
Click Done
Your repo will now be brought underneath uberSVN, loaded into a newly created Repo sat in the /uberSVN/repositories storage location.
From there you just continue as normal with your preferred subversion client.
Know this QA is old but thought worth updating.
Got a solid, reproducable method for adding projects into remote UberSVN repository from Visual Studio 2010...trial and repeat seems to work consistantly on my side. Here goes
Go to remote UberSVN server, Login
Create Repository
"Your Repository Name"
Added users to repository
Created Visual Studio project (File -> New Project) in similar ubersvn structure…in this case
In windows explorer, created folders D:\\\trunk\
In Visual Studio, create new project, uncheck “Create directory for solution” and I set the “Name” to
"Your Project Name"
In the first solution and subversion create phase, I checked off “Add to Subversion”
Created project and the subversion repository selection popup came up.
typed in the new repository url
http://"your UberSVN Repository URL"/"Your Repository Name"/
Below the Repository URL, I selected the repository “Database” image and then I clicked “Create Folder”
NOTE: When I did again, it seemed that there was already a “trunk”, ”branches” and “tags” folders generated under the repository database -> I clicked on the trunk folder).
If the folders from above notes do not exist, I typed in “trunk” as new folder and then the proper Project url appeared in the “Project will be created in:” section at the bottom of the popup (
http://"your UberSVN Repository URL"/"Your Repository
Name"/trunk/"Your Project Name"/
)
Clicked OK
Started copying files from existing website/project to new project
Once all files are in and no more errors exist, start to do initial commits
Visual Studio 2010 NOTES:
May have to regenerate designer files from older visual studio 2008 projects. Right click on the web form page you want to convert to “Web Application” and it will autogenerate the designer file for the given webform (web page)
Will have to add in references from the bin folder for any dlls needed in project
If bringing over classes from another project (i.e. in App_Code folder), need to right click on each (or select multiple) and go to properties -> Build Action and change from “Content” to “Compile”
