I have VS 2010 and for some reason I dont have the option "use iis express" when I right click on my website project.
I have installed IIS Express.
The win7 system is up-to-date.
when I go to tools -> options, I don't see the web options.
any idea?
You need VS 2010 sp1 to use 'IIS Express' with Visual Studio. Please check if you have VS 2010 SP1 installed or not.

I have Team Foundation Server 2015 installed, and I'm trying to connect Visual Studio 2008 (Version 9.0.30729.4462 QFE) to the team project. I have installed VS 2008 Team Explorer (version 9.0.21022.8).
According to MS, this should be possible using MSSCCI Provider. However, I can't find the version that's compatible with TFS 2015.
Question: Where is the MSSCCI Provider for TFS 2015, or is there another way to connect VS 2008 to TFS 2015 ?
I have tried MSSCCI Provider for TFS 2013, and it failed because it didn't detect TFS 2013 (which makes sense since I have 2015 installed).
Did you install the vs2008 sp1 compatibility GDR? Or else please install it.. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29983
When passing the TFS URL in VS 2008 make sure that you are passing the tfs collection name as well, otherwise vs 2008 will throw error. For example, http://servername:8080/tfs/{collection1}
Edit: Please make sure that you install VS 2008 SP1 before you try steps 1 and 2.
In my case, I had no VS 2008 IDE was installed until yesterday.
Due to some conversion limitations in my company, I had to install the old Visual Studio 2008 to my office PC (Windows 10 Pro x64) and connect it to TFS 2015.
I hope this helps someone else like me:
First I've installed Visual Studio 2008.
And then VS 2008 SP1.
Lastly Visual Studio TeamExplorer 2008. (At least this should be the happy ending but I was wrong.)
Tried to install VS90SP1-KB974558-x86, but it failed. The package seeks for VS 2008 SP1. I think TeamExplorer 2008 overrides sth important for KB974558.
Installed Visual Studio 2008 SP1 again.
VS90SP1-KB974558-x86 installed successfully.
On the page "Connect to Team Foundation Server", add your TFS 2015 server by ignoring the port and protocol section, and write down your own like;
http://TFS_SERVER:PORT_NUMBER/tfs/TFS_COLLECTION_NAME
It fails everytime if I skip the collection name part.
Since I cant comment. I want to say that we have the same problem.
What works is installing the Visual Studio Team Explorer 2013 which includes a Visual Studio Shell 2013 and then we can install the MSSCCI Provider 2013. But thats just a workaround.
We also wonder where the MSSCCI Provider for 2015 is.
You can just use MSSCCI for TFS 2013 to connect to TFS2015 source control in VS2008.
Just as the MSDN article shown, in VS2008, Version Control is available via using MSSCCI Provider. So instead of connect to TFS in Team Explorer, you need to go to File -> Source Control -> Open from Source Control -> Connect to Team Foundation Server. I believe this blog is helpful to you (although it is written for TFS2013 with VS2005, it applies to TFS2015 with VS2008).
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 have installed Visual Studio 2010 Professional and I cannot open a Web project in there. Before installing Visual Studio 2010 Pro, I had Visual Studio 2010 Web Developer Express installed. Would this be the cause of the problem? Do I need to uninstall both and reinstall VS 2010 Pro to get Web projects to work?
In order to resolve this issue, I had to click Tools->Import and Export Settings. Then, select Reset all settings. Before doing this, I had uninstalled Web Developer Express, but it should work without doing that.
Although this question isn't directly about code it's related to programming and seems better put here than, say, serverfault or superuser.

I'm a developer with Visual Studio 2010. Microsoft's newest web server offering for developers is IIS Express. ScottGu indicated this combination is workable:
IIS Express will work with VS 2010 and
Visual Web Developer 2010 Express,
will run on Windows XP and higher
systems,
The only option I've seen so far, is to download WebMatrix which contains and uses IIS Express, but I cannot get it hooked into VS 2010, or to download IIS Express separately.
Any ideas?
Current of July 11, 2011
Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 includes the option to use IIS Express from inside VS2010.
Blog post.
Or use the Web Platform Installer.
I don't think IIS Express is available for Visual Studio 2010 yet.
Edit: Found it in Scott's post. http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/06/28/introducing-iis-express.aspx
We’ll be releasing the first public beta of IIS Express shortly. With the beta you’ll be able to right-click on a file-system folder and have IIS Express launch a web-site based on that file-system location. We’ll also be releasing a patch for VS 2010 and Visual Web Developer 2010 Express later this year that will enable you to automatically launch and use IIS Express in place of VS’s built-in ASP.NET Developer Server.
http://www.intrepidstudios.com/blog/2010/7/11/debug-your-net-web-project-with-iis-express-t.aspx has instructions on using IIS Express with VS2010 if you don't feel like waiting for VS2010 SP1 to be released.
The link to the Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (not beta any longer) is http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/confirmation.aspx?FamilyID=75568aa6-8107-475d-948a-ef22627e57a5.
Jesper Palm is not correct, I am able to run IIS Express Using Visual Studio after a lot of investigation. What Jaseper is mentioning(ScootGu's blog), I already have read that. Scott is only telling that the patch will be released to run 'IIS Express' within VS2010 IDE but with 'MS Web Matrix Beta 2' It is possible to run IIS EXpress with VS 2010. If u face problem contact me in by e-mail:ankitvbdotnet#yahoo.com
The current IIS Express Overview says that VS2008 and VS2010 integration is going to come in a later release (presumably before the RTM release).
A future update to Visual Studio 2010 will add support for IIS Express. You can also manually configure Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 to use IIS Express.
For anyone that can't/doesn't want to install the SP1 beta then this blog post will show you how you can incorporate it into your debugging in a relatively easy way.
I know VS 2010 Pro/Premium/Ultimate include TFS connectivity, does VS 2010 Express?
No it doesn't.
See this SO question (What is “missing” in the Visual Studio Express Editions?) - one of the bullet points is no Team Explorer support, meaning to TFS integration.
On this Microsoft page for VS 2010, you can see the the Pro edition with MSDN essentials subscription has none of the TFS features out of the box, suggesting that this is also the case for the express SKUs.
I'm not sure if you can install this http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=329
Though i don't know why you wouldn't be able to install TFS support for free, since microsoft provides a free plugin for Eclipse that you can use.
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=4240
If you log onto codeplex, it will give you a free key to use this.
Edit: The following link makes it seems like you can use it in VS
https://tfs.discountasp.net/KB/a843/visual-web-developer-20052008-and-visual-studio-2010-express.aspx
While Visual Web Developer 2005/2008 and Visual Studio 2010 Express will not directly integrate with Team Foundation Server, you can still use the Team Explorer application to connect to your server to check files out for editing.
Assuming that you have already
installed Visual Web Developer
2005/2008 or Visual Studio 2010
Express on your workstation, perform
the following step:
Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 - ISO.
