I am trying to write my first test case using TFS 2010 in VS2010 However Actions and Expected results columns won't allow me to add those steps ... any thing am doing wrong ?

The link is referring to Visual Studio 2012 editions, but it is nearly the same with 2010. This means that those steps can only be done in Microsoft Test Manager, which is part of Ultimate and Test Edition in 2010. In 2012 it is also available in Premium edition.
To solve your problem you need to install the correct edition and than use the Test Manager. There should be also a button in Visual Studio which says "Edit with Microsoft Test Manager".

First of all I'm new to visual studio. I need to develop a Setup (.exe) using Visual Studio C#. In order to create a setup, we need Windows Installer wizard. While searching on google I got a link from msdn Here
I tried to create a new project as described, but I wasn't able to find "Other Project Types". I searched google again and finally I got: InstallShield Limited Edition template provided by flexerasoftware.com. I registered and downloaded InstallShield 2013 Express Edition, and installed it. Restarted the machine and opened Visual Studio 2013, still I couldn't find other project type templates.
Everyone simply says choose setupwizard under "other project types", but no one provides any description on templates setup.
What am I missing here, and why this much complexity to create setup file wizard. Guide me If I am missing anything, I'm in a serious trouble.
Note : Currently am using Visual Studio 2013 Express edition.
Thanks.
This link explain where to find it:

From the link below:

To enable InstallShield Limited Edition On the menu bar, choose File,
New, Project.
In the New Project dialog box, expand the Other Project
Types node, and then choose the Setup and Deployment node.
In the template list, choose Enable InstallShield Limited Edition, and then
choose the OK button.
In the browser window that opens, read the
instructions, and then choose the Go to the download web site link.

I try to see if it is possible anyway...
I have some requirements that I need to use Visual Studio 2008 for a new SSIS package. But we are using visualstudio.com as our source control because we were allowed to use Visual Studio 2012 for our main project.
I tried following the instructions here http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/get-started/connect-to-vs.aspx and here how to open Team Explorer in Visual Studio 2008 and no go.
Has anyone been able to connect to their TFS server at visualstudio.com from Visual Studio 2008? If so, how did you do it?
Officially VS 2008 is only supported against TFS 2013 (and Visual Studio Online) by using the MSSCCI. However, in practice it still works fine without MSSCCI, MS just no longer tests this particular scenario, so it's not guaranteed to continue working.
Make sure you have the appropriate updates installed, you need:
VSTS 2008 Team Explorer
VS 2008 SP1
TFS 2012 Compatibility GDR
Order of installation is very important. Refer to this article.
Moreover, if you are still having issues connecting to TFS after successfully installing above mentioned updates, consider clearing your IE browsing history (all checkboxes) and retry.
Per MSDN you can access version control on Visual Studio Online with Visual Studio 2008 using Team Explorer for Visual Studio Team System 2008 and MSSCCI 2013.
I was using reportviewer 2010 control in visual studio 2010 but i need to start using reportviewer 2012. How can I use the new ASP.NET webforms ReportViewer 2012 control in Visual Studio 2010 (without moving up to visual studio 2012)? Eventually I want to move up to Visual Studio 2012 and dotnet 4.5 but I'd prefer to keep using dotnet 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010 for a little while longer.
I think you are asking how you can 'create reports' for SSRS by the sounds of it, not just display them. Okay so this will sound weird but you need SQL Server 2012 either Enterprise, Developer, Standard with Advanced Tools edition. Any one of those should suffice to get you the tool you need. If you are looking to 'design' reports the tool is an add on to Visual Studio called 'Business Intelligence Development Studio', BIDS for short. For some reason it shows up now as 'SQL Server Data Tools' under 'All Programs' on Windows. You can thank Microsoft for making this version as confusing as possible to people looking to get into SSRS.
To install it you simply install all of SQL Server and when you get to the 'Features' section ensure that BIDS is selected. The version of BIDS IS NOT ON VS 2012, it is on VS 2010. For some reason the SQL team did not make the deployment of SQL Server coincide with Visual Studio so it goes along with VS 2010, NOT 2012. A great many people get this confused but I can say for a fact SSRS is an extension of BIDS, which in turn is an extension of Visual Studio. Not the other way around. You can create localized reports in VS 2012 that are 'rdlc' files but not the full blown SSRS you deploy to a server there.
I cannot seem to use the new features that come with TFS 2012 using VS 2010?
Is it possible? I would like to use the code review feature.
Code Reviews require visual studio 2012 and tfs 2012. VS2010 simply does not have the built in UI to support doing them.
Once you create an account on TFS:
https://tfs.visualstudio.com/en-us/ #
There is an option
"Beginner's guide A step-by-step guide to help you get up and running
now. "
There you will find a step by step, I followed and am getting use normally.
In my case I have to upgrade:
"If you have not already, install Visual Studio 2012. You can use
Visual Studio 2010, but you'll need to install Service Pack 1 first
and KB2662296. Or, you can use Visual Studio 2008 SP1 with GDR this
update. "
After that I could use normally.
I hope I helped.
There is a form of code review possible with VS2010 from the CMMI process, but it doesn't have the nice interactive and code-commenting features from VS2012, it is just another Work Item form.
More info here.
Were I work we are currently using visual studio 2008 because 2010 did not include the bids stuff, I have now been asked to test out whether 2012 is any better so we have a virtual machine that I've been allowed to work on and we've got visual studio 2012 and 2012 integration services installed on it.
I tried to open one of our solutions which has various report projects in it. When I do this I get a one way upgrade option which I chose and then I get the following:
Projectname.rptproj: The application which this project type is based on was not found. Please try this link for further information: link
This link doesn't work properly and I can't seem to find very much on this for visual studio 2012 am I missing something here? Thanks in advance for any help.
Microsoft has recently released the tools necessary to open and create .rptproj projects in VS2012: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012
According to this, it appears that you have to install the client tools for VS2012 (from the SQL2012 installer) in order to get the BIDS bits. Incidentally, installing VS2012 client tools will apparently update both VS2010 and VS2012.
