I want to configure check in policies for my Team project using visual studio 11 preview and TFS explorer. I know how to do it in visual studio by right clicking Team project and then team project settings and then configure check in policies but In visual studio 11, things has changed. Please suggest how to do it.
If you go to the home page of the new team explorer the last option should be "Settings". When you click on that you will navigate to the settings page in team explorer and from there you can access the team project settings.

I got stuck in connecting TFS in visual studio 2017 mac. Can anyone help me on this?
First, check the requirements of connecting to Team Foundation version control from VS for Mac, to see whether your environment meets the requirements:
Visual Studio Community, Professional, or Enterprise for Mac version
7.5 or later.
Visual Studio Team Services, or Team Foundation Server 2013 and later.
A Project in Visual Studio Team Services or Team Foundation Server, configured to use Team Foundation Version Control.
Then follow the steps below to install the extension and connect to VSTS/TFS:
In Visual Studio for Mac, choose Visual Studio > Extensions... from the menu. In the Gallery tab, select Version Control > Team Foundation Version Control for TFS and VSTS and click Install…:
Updates to the TFVC extension are made periodically. To access updates, choose Visual Studio > Extensions... from the menu and select the Updates tab. Select the extension in the list and press the Update button:
Once the extension is installed, select the Version Control > TFS/VSTS > Open from Remote Repository menu item.
Choose either Visual Studio Team Services or Team Foundation Server to get started and press Continue:
Enter the TFS server information or VSTS credential, and select a project.
More details you can refer to the link below:

If using TFS 2017, it has the option of using git for repositories and Visual Studio 2017 for Mac as of v7.8.3 (build2) doesn't support git in TFS yet.
I recently upgraded to VS Community 2013 and created my Visual Studio Online account.
I have connected VS to the account but I don't know how to import my local solution (which contains 5 projects) to the VS Online account.
Make sure your source control plugin is set to Visual Studio Team Foundation server (Tools > Options > Source Control > Plug-in selection)
Connect Visual Studio with your Visual Studio Online account in the Team Explorer. (Open Team Explorer: View > Team Explorer). You will need the your VSO url (usually [your selected name].visualstudio.com
Open your solution and add solution to source control (right click the solution in the solution explorer and select Add solution to source control)
I'm using TFS 2013 and Visual Studio 2012 and I'm trying to edit the process template.
On the following page it says: "You must be a member of the Project Collection Administrators group".
Even though my account is in Project Collection Administrators group I cannot download, edit nor upload process template from Visual Studio, as you can see from image below:
Any clues?
I've figured it out. For TFS 2013 in order to be able to edit and upload process template, you have to have Visual Studio 2013 installed. VS2012 isn't going to help you up with this. Here is the source and citation:
To create a team project or manage process templates on an on-premises TFS, you must connect using the same version level of Visual Studio or Team Explorer. That is, to create a team project on TFS 2013, you must connect from Team Explorer 2013.
I created my first Team Project in my account on the tfs 2012 in the cloud.
Now, how can I connect to it through Visual Studio 2012 from my pc?
You can find the answer to your question at the link bellow
Connect Visual Studio to your team project
Furtheremore, there is another solution to do this.
Open Visual studio 2012
From the menu bar, choose View -> Team Explorer
In Team Explorer view, choose the Context Menu Icon next to the team project name, and then choose Projects and My Teams -> Connect to Team Projects.
In the Connect to Team Project dialog box, choose the Servers button.
In the Add/Remove Team Foundation Server dialog box, choose the Add button.
In the Add Team Foundation Server dialog box, type the name or URL for the server.
In your case (https://yourname.visualstudio.com).
During the process you may be asked to enter the credentials from your windows live account (outlook.com, hotmail.com etc)
Few days ago i had to reinstall VS. So after uninstallation, I downloaded VS2010 Ultimate from MSDNAA and installed it. Everything went without any trouble, but when i run VS I found, that there wasn't a Team Explorer.
So i downloaded TE from Team Explorer link. But after installation TE, Visual Studio still doesn't see TE. There is nothing in Menu -> View and Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Source Control.
What should I do now?
Are you able to see Team Explorer which is tabbed along with the solution explorer (At the bottom of the solution explorer window)? If not click view->Team Explorer (Ctrl+M). From there you should be able to connect to your TFS instance.
When you install the Visual Studio, then Team Explorer comes by default with VS.
You can check Team Explorer in View->TeamExplorer
If you do not found Team Viewer in your View then you can download it from below link
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/devops/2017/04/05/reintroducing-the-team-explorer-standalone-installer/
or you can download it from vs installer.
For future readers:
I was missing some menus from the Team Explorer side panel.
what fixed it was resetting user settings by manually running devenv.com /resetuserdata from the visual studio folder.
To me it was:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\devenv.com /resetuserdata
Notice: this will reset your settings, so make sure you import / export it first (if you require anything specific) .
I'm assuming your using TFS. Have you connected to a TFS instance using the menu Team -> Connect to team foundation server?
You need to download Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 from here:
