I am a part of a dev team and the company requires us to work only with non open source software, but I am unable to find out if xmatters is open source or not.
Full disclosure, I work for xMatters.
xMatters as a product is a closed source solution, but our integrations are "open source" under various licenses. More info can be found at https://xmatters.com

What is a good learning resource for TFS and how to use TFS with Visual Studio?
Specifically, I want to know two things.
Exactly what are the step-by-steps procedures of checking in code. I know that I am required to do a code review. So, after the code review is done by a peer, I understand that this is not enough and the original developer has to click to do something to submit the code into the TFS system. I mean, I want to know precisely what buttons to click on.
I also want to know how to use Visual Studio to look up the actual version. How do I determine the details of what is already checked in?
There are many blogs videos in google. If you want a full detail resource, suggest you directly take a look at our official doc here -- Azure DevOps Server Documentation
A suggested learn order for your reference:
Installation (you could skip this if your company already done this)--
Code -- Build&Release -- Packages-- Test-- Work-- Analysis-- Admin
Tool
TFS supports two types of version control: Git and Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC). One centralized and one distributed. As for which version control system should you use, you could take a look at this thread: Choosing the right version control for your project
For your case, you could easy check the history in server side. It's called changeset in TFVC and commit in Git.
For example, when you check in your changes, they are stored on the server as a changeset. Changesets contain the history of each item in version control.
You can view a changeset to see what the exact file changes were, discover the owner's comments, find linked work items, and see if any policy warnings were triggered.
The same as Git, actually you could find the answer for both question 1&2 in Code part. Hope it helps.
I am in a real bind here. A programmer long before me made several applications in VS2010. We needed to move all these old applications to a file server so they can be backed up etc while awaiting updates. I am attempting to open this solution "Intranet". However, when I attempt this I receive the following error message:
\fs01\it$\Application-Source-Code\Projects-Important\Projects-Important\FFL Programs\Intranet\ :
error : Error opening web \fs01\it$\Application-Source-Code\Projects-Important\Projects-Important\FFL Programs\Intranet.
Unable to open the Web site '\fs01\it$\Application-Source-Code\Projects-Important\Projects-Important\FFL Programs\Intranet'.
The Web site '\fs01\it$\Application-Source-Code\Projects-Important\Projects-Important\FFL Programs\Intranet' does not exist.
We have a big customer coming in tomorrow morning and I need to take a look at the code to fix an error "a master page error". However, I cannot open this using VS2017 Version Selector. I have attached a screen shot of the sln file into to help assist with a resolution.
Option 1:
Copy your code from your file server (VS2010) see if it is opening/working on your local dev machine (in VS2010 orvs2017)
IF NOT
Option 2:
Still you'll need the above project files, now...
Create a blank solution in VS 2017 (relative to your programming language i.e. C# or Vb.Net etc) - also look for target framework
Locate the project file(s) (for e.g. ".csproj" files for c# projects) one by one manually.
Try to build the individual project( should there be any missing assembly references) and followed by complete solution build.
#NBaua, My brain has been overwhelmed lately. I was attempting to open a project when I needed to open a website. I just went to File --> Open --> Website and all works. Thanks again.
I'm a n00b with these source control methods. I just signed up for the simple VS online. Previously, when I was working with Orchard's source, I put it up in my OneDrive in order to work from the office and from home. It's worked pretty well.
But now I wanted to try out VS online. I guess because of how the source folders of Orchard is set up I cannot "Add solution to source control" from the top-level Orchard (i.e., opening Orchard.sln contained under the ~/src folder). From what I gathered in my research you have to manually add stuff, but I can't even get that far.
I created a project in VS online, and tried to "map" it, but was unsuccessful (all it did was add some build process templates).
Anyone know of the steps to add a clean Orchard 1.8 source to VS online. Thank you in advance.
Edit: Adding 100 Bounty
I'm really out of options here, so hoping a bounty of 100 will get me a detailed answer with steps to accomplish this properly.
I was originally using OneDrive (7GB free version), but am running low on space for Orchard source (I have other work on there, Orchard is less than 1/2 that space). I also have OnDrive for Business (20GB I think), which should have been sufficient HOWEVER they limit the amount of files to 20,000, and with third party modules/themes in my source I am running close to that number and the files won't sync because of that limit.
It seems to me the free VS Online would be the best option, then for me to just push/pull changes between home and work.
Any help is much appreciated and I hope my small offering for bounty is sufficient to elicit some good answers.
Thanks!
Create a new project in VS Online for Orchard
Make sure you have Visual Studio Online source control setup in your local instance of Visual Studio
Get a clean copy of Orchard CMS source code
Open the Orchard.sln in in VS
Right click the Orchard.sln and select 'Add Solution to Source Control' near the middle of the popup menu
Select if you want Team Foundation or Git style of source control (this may not appear as you may have defaulted it)
Select the project from VS Online that you want to add the source code to (see picture)
Check in your code from VS
You should be done.
I know that I can pre-install NuGet packages in my project templates.
But I wasn't able to find out whether it is possible to load these packages online instead of having to store them somewhere in the project template.
If this is possible please give me a hint where I can find an example.
Older article, but answers the question:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/marcinon/archive/2011/07/08/project-templates-and-preinstalled-nuget-packages.aspx
A frequent question is why not support downloading the nupkg files directly from http://nuget.org. We decided not to support such an option because users expect project templates to instantiate quickly and downloading files from the internet would slow things down. Also, it would not work on a plane or in other situations where a connection is not available.
I'm looking for a webbased solution like DropBox or a solution to integrate with DropBox where I can control the files like Microsoft Visual SourceSafe a check in/out system.
Thanks in advance.
If you want to version control code with a web-based interface, suggest you check out github (git) and unfuddle (subversion). They are hosted solutions, like dropbox but they have the features you will need to version control source code.
If you're desperate to try and use dropbox for source code control, it's been asked before. Try searching stackoverflow for questions on dropbox like this one.
