TFS Build notification options not populating build definitions - visual-studio-2013

downMy gated checkin reconcile message has stopped working. To troubleshoot I opened up Build Notifications options and see that the "Build notifications to monitor" list is blank.I restarted Visual studio, connected to the project server again in the IDE, rebooted the machine but still Build notification options are blank.
I have also deleted the Team Foundation local cache from %localappdata%/Microsoft/Team Foundation/5.0/Cache but to no result.
From what i understand the Build notification desktop tray app gets the connection to the server from the Connect option in Visual Studio IDE. All the settings look right but the problem persists. Any suggestions?
P.S : I have recently downgraded from Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate to Visual studio 2013 Pro.

Each version of Visual Studio (2010, 2012, 2013, 2015 etc) installs its own newer version of this tool. Each under a different path that contains the Visual Studio version.
Make sure you're launching the correct one, or register your TFS version inside the latest version of Visual Studio installed and use that (since it will be able to connect to any and all versions of TFS).

visual studio 2019 open solution file incompatible

I think I was using visual studio 2017 and wrote a SSIS package. Now I installed visual studio 2019 and can't open the solution file. Error:
Unsupported This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the
following projects. The project types may not be installed or this
version of Visual Studio may not support them. For more information
on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets,
please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after
clicking OK.
- ABC, "C:\Users\XYZ\ABC.dtproj"
Non-functional changes required Visual Studio will automatically make
non-functional changes to the following projects in order to enable
them to open in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio
2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1. Project behavior will not be
impacted.
- ABC_SSIS, "C:\Users\XYZ\ABC_SSIS.sln"
I tried "Right-click on the project and reload" - didn't work.
I tried to confirm SSDT is installed:
it is installed at the installation interface, but doesn't exist in extension manager:
SSIS is a seperate extension now in Visual Studio 2019. You can install that extension in Visual Studio market place. Choose Online tab and search for "SQL Server Integration Services Projects".Hope it can help your problem
1.Extensions -> Microsoft Reporting Service Project
2.and then close visual studio
3.VSIX installer will complete automatically
4.If your project unloaded, right click on project and reload
Today I faced this issue,
Cause
The reason for issue is,
I saw a yellow bg notification at the top of IDE showing performance issue , with option to "disable this" to improve the performance.
I chose disable, later next day when I opened the project, It showed the project is not compatible.
I did Repair SSIS, Uninstall and Reinstall SSIS, and also updated the SSIS to latest version. None of these 3 ways resolved the issue.
Solution
But, I found Manage Extension submenu item under Extension menu, Under installed tab, SSIS extension was in disabled status. I reverted to Enabled status. Sample screenshot of the same for reference is here. If it disabled, simply enable it. Then restart VS with SSIS project.
Enabling the SSIS in manage extensions solved this for me.
Extensions ... Manage Extensions
Online ... Visual Studio Marketplace
SQL Server Integration Services Projects
Download
Close Visual Studio and then run the download
When finished, open your existing SSIS project and right-click the project and select "Reload" or "Reload with dependancies"
You can also now start a new Integration Services project.

Why won't the "Configure Continuous Delivery" option appear?

I'm trying to set up continuous deployment in Visual Studio 2017 and got stuck on step one. I installed the Continuous Delivery Tools for Visual Studio. It appears under the Installed list in Extensions and Updates, and it has a Disable button next to it, so I assume it is enabled. From everything I've read, there's supposed to be an option labeled "Configure Continuous Delivery" when I right-click the project. Nothing new appears for me. I've tried restarting Visual Studio and rebooting my computer.
I thought that maybe it wasn't supported because it wasn't a .NET Core application, or because I'm using TFS and not VSTS. So I created a new .NET Core web application and pushed it to VSTS, and still do not have any new menu options on the project. For both projects, the repo is Git.
Which version of Visual Studio do you use? The extension Continuous Delivery Tools for Visual Studio only supports Visual Studio 2017 for now.
I tested the extension with VS 2017 (Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 Version 15.4.4). Then option "Configure Continuous Delivery to Azure" displayed there as expected.
Please note that, you need to right click on the Solution but not the project.

Team explorer 2015 View Builds generate Malformed Artifact URI error

I am having an issue with Team explorer in visual studio 2015 Update 1 RC.
The server is TFS 2013.
When I want to View Builds of a specific build, I have this error message
Malformed Artifact URI: [Build name]
Parameter name: uri
This is working using Visual studio 2013 on the same machine, and working with visual studio 2015 on other machine. So this is not a problem with the server.
Only 2 machines have the issue, and both have the extension TFS power tools 2015 installed.
I tried:
Remove the extension
Clear Team foundation cache
Repair visual studio
Hard reset all settings
Didn't resolve the issue.
"Edit build definition" and "Queue new build" are working.
Any ideas other than uninstall and reinstall visual studio?
Thanks
Edit:
- Creating a New build definition in VS2015 is working, but trying to open it doesn't work
I can reproduce your issue in my Visual Studio 2015 just after the Update1 RC is installed.
Here is my Visual Studio version:
I have reported this issue. You can also submit one feedback on the Microsoft Connect site.
Now, you need to open TFS web access directly to view one build. Or you need to uninstall Update1 RC.
This issue is fixed in VS2015 update1. You need to download and install it: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/vs2015-update1-vs.aspx
Cleaning cache folder on your client machine: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\6.0\Cache. And clean the cache on your TFS AT machine: C:\TfsData\ApplicationTier\_fileCache
Then, on your client machine, resetting settings and add-in settings with devenv /ResetSettings and devenv /ResetSkipPkgs, try rebuilding all templates with devenv /setup.

.csproj file unsupported in Visual Studio 2013

So I'm trying to do what I think is a very simple thing: generate a Windows Phone app with PhoneGap and open it in Visual Studio. On a totally fresh Windows installation (via Bootcamp), I've:
Downloaded Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows (the very first download button: http://developer.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk)
Created a PhoneGap Windows Phone app per the Getting Started guide.
However, every time I try to open the csproj file, I keep getting this error:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.

- HelloWorld, "C:\BodBot\BodBot-PG\BodBot\platforms\wp8\HelloWorld.csproj"
No changes required
These projects can be opened in Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without changing them.
- HelloWorld, "C:\BodBot\BodBot-PG\BodBot\platforms\wp8\HelloWorld.sln"
No matter what I do. It works totally fine on Visual Studio 2012 for Windows Phone. I've tried it on VS 2013 for Desktop, and that doesn't work either. No clue what is happening here, and don't know even where to start to figure out what's wrong. I've Googled extensively to no avail; basically all instances of this error seem to have to do with previous version of VS. Pointing in any direction would be very much appreciated.
Turns out Update 2 wasn't getting installed correctly. I ended up installing Visual Studio and the Update 2 separately and Update 2 got installed successfully. Everything works now.
To build Multi device hybrid (Cordova tooling) apps with Visual Studio, you need to have Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 - Professional, Ultimate, or Premium.

TFS Client Error using Visual Studio 2010

I have been getting this strange error with VS2010 TFS client, whenever i try to do
any operation related to TFS.
Method not found: 'System.String
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.ExtendedItem.get_LockOwnerDisplayName()'
More background : I was working with TFS build services on my machine and
later I uninstalled the TFS build services .. And after that i started getting this problem.
Also I repaired VS 2010 (Pro edition) and also re-installed VS 2010 SP1 .
Reinstalled TFS build services, reinstalled tfs power tools also
But still the problem persists.
Any clue how to repair/fix this?
Any way to fix the TFS client part of VS2010 ?
After installing the following hotfix,the problem was fixed.
FIX: A hotfix for Visual Studio 2010 SP1 is available to add compatibility support for Visual Studio Team Foundation Service Preview
Intresting point from the above site :
Note The following hotfix includes all the Team Foundation Client
hotfixes that were released after Visual Studio 2010 SP1 was released.
Hope this is helpful to others too.
(I guess this must have refreshed my VS2010 TFS client files)
Another solution :
Bind and rebind the project to the TFS server.
It has solved the problem in my case.
Good Luck.
This same issue happened to me after Windows Update installed update KB2813041 to Visual Studio 2010. After I uninstalled this individual update, it started working again.
Here's how to uninstall an individual update. Go to Control Panel > Windows Update > View Update History > Installed Updates (appears in a sentence at the top of the dialog). Then, scroll through the list of updates looking for Visual Studio and then right-click on the update you want to uninstall and click Uninstall.
Hopefully this helps somebody.
Thanks,
Andy
