TFS for Visual Studio 2012 - visual-studio

I am using Visual Studio 2012 to work on my ASP.NET Projects.
Currently, I am trying to add my projects to Source Control preferably Team Foundation Server.
Installed TFS 2015 on a server and tried connecting from Visual studio 2012 to add a team project, which is not successful. Please let me know which version of tfs is compatible with VS2012 and details would be appreciated.
I was trying to get TFS 2012 but I got a response from the technical support that 'Based on the search results, the only versions available on the VLSC site are 2013 and 2015.' The techical support person from my workplace was trying to download TFS 2012 as per my request for me to work on the set up.
Please provide any help links available.I haven't done anything on the admin side and this confuses me a lot.
Thanks in advance!

TFS 2015 requires latest Visual Studio 2012 update. Supports Git with Visual Studio Tools for Git extension.

Based on your comments, you're trying to create a new team project in TFS 2015.
In order to create a Team Project, you need to be using the same version of Visual Studio as you're using TFS. So, to create a team project in TFS 2015, you need to use Visual Studio 2015. This can be done from VS2015 Community or Team Explorer 2015.

Can't create team project in tfs express 2015

I'm using TFS Express 2015 and Visual Studio Community 2019. When I try to add solution to source control, I'm getting an error message:
"TF206018: The items could not be added to source control because either no team projects have been set up...".
There's no option of adding team project either in Team Explorer in Visual Studio or in TFS Express Admin Console!?
Is it even possible to work with TFS Express on local machine with VS Community?
It seems it's an existing issue that there is no "New Team Project" option in VS 2019 connecting TFS 2015. Check the following case:
There is no menu to create "new team project" on visual studio 2019

Since it's supported to create and delete Team projects from the web experience in TFS 2015.2 and later, you need to check your TFS edition to see whether you can create a team project from web protal:
As a workaround, you may need to use other versions of VS or install high version TFS.

Adding a new team project to Team Foundation Server 2015

I am trying to set up Team Foundation Server for my official visual studio projects, and we have set up TFS 2015 - Basic Server setup.
I have been working with Visual Studio 2012 in my development machine and trying to connect to the TFS and add projects to it.
When I go to File -> New Team Project, I got an error saying 'TF0172: You are trying to create a team project either without required permissions or with an older version of Team Explorer. Contact your project administrator to check your permissions or to determine how to upgrade Team Explorer'.
I have admin rights in the TFS server as well as in the development machine so the error machine does not look like it is a permission issue.
So trying to see if VS2012 is compatible with TFS 2015, or is it possible to make both compatible?
I have also updated my Visual Studio 2012 with the update 5.
Creating a team project requires a matching version of Visual Studio. So, to create a team project in TFS 2015, you need Visual Studio (or Team Explorer) 2015.

Azure biztalk project in visual studio 2015?

I am trying to install Azure biztalk services SDK and then create project in vs 2013 and vs 2015 community edition but dont see any project template.
I can only see project template for biztalk in vs 2012 professional.
This is also made clear in the link here
http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=39087
However the issue is the microsoft doesnt sell vs 2012 online anymore and i dont see any reason in buying a 3 year old IDE when i have VS 2015.
So just checking if any one here has been able to create biztalk projects for azure in vs 2015.
Its the same problem with Microsoft at Every Release of BizTalk and Visual Studio, the same question you asked get asked everytime
I have VS 2010 but BizTalk project 2006R2 template doesn't appear
I have VS 2012 but BizTalk project 2010 template doesn't appear
...
You have to know that unfortunately BizTalk Project templates are not backward compatible this means that unless you have VS 2012 you won't be able to get those templates.
BUT There is maybe a chance that you can copy those templates from an existing install and get it on your computer (i'll try this at home and edit my answer later) i think it can work if it does i'll post this stuff

Code Review in Visual Studio 2012, with TFS 2010

Is it possible to enable Code Review in VS2012 with a TFS2010 server?
Our should we upgrade our TFS server to TFS2012 before its possible?
You need TFS 2012 to use Code Reviews:
This feature is only available when running with VS2012 + TFS 2012. If
you connect to a 2010 TFS server with VS 2012 the code review feature
should not show up in the team explorer.
If you are not going to upgrade TFS from 2010 to 2012 in the near future, there is another option.
You may try Review Assistant by Devart - an alternative code review plugin for Visual Studio.
It has functionality similar to the built-in VS 2012 code review feature.
But it supports integration with TFS 2010 as well as with Git, SVN, and Mercurial.

Does Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Include a TFS server?

I recently downloaded Visual Studio 2010 beta 2, and was told it included a TFS server. However I am unsure of if it has/can be installed, or how to start it up if it has been.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me please?
Thanks :)
Thanks for your help :)
I am downloading the ISO of the separate product instead from msdn.
No, beta 2 doesn't include in VS 2010 a TFS. but you can get the beta for TFS 2010 seperate.
VS 2010 with MSDN will include TFS. The MSDN subscription is what licenses you for TFS 2010. You still need a licensed Windows server on which to install it. TFS needs an installation of SQL Server to run. You may use an existing server or you are licensed to run an instance of SQL 2008 express on the application server with TFS 2010.
I believe that you can use the "Go Live" licensing with the 2010 RC now if you already have a subscription.
