I'm facing a strange problem: I have a new installation of TFS 2010 on a test machine and I use Visual Studio 2010 Professional on a client machine. My client was before configured to be connected with another TFS 2010 machine with the same bindings. Now, from my client machine I manage to create Team projects in the default collection, but nothing is happening when I try to add a solution to source control. It means that when I physically push the button "Add solution to source control" no window or message is showing.
Of course I set all the permissions and group memberships on the server machine, and I restarted client and server several times.
How can I solve (or at least make a diagnosys) the problem?
Have you also removed the workspace from the old TFS? Workspace mappings cannot be shared across multiple TFS instances.
Do you have Team Explorer installed? Is TFS set as the default source control provider in Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Current source control plug-in?

Using Visual Studio 2015 I was previously working on a project which is in an old Visual Source Safe repository.
I needed to connect to a project in Visual Studio Online (Team Foundation Server) and so in Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Plug In Selection I choose Team Foundation Server and successfully connected to the Visual Studio Online repository pulled down the code, worked on it and checked it in.
The problem comes when I need to access the project in VSS again. I tried to reverse the process. Setting the Plug In Selection back to Visual Source Safe. However even when I don't have a solution open the 'Team Explorer' is still connected to Visual Studio online and I can't connect back to VSS. When I open my VSS based project it is STILL connected to Visual Studio Online as well.
I don't have the option of moving the older project out of VSS just now (not my choice, I'm hoping it's going to change soon but not a choice I can make), and need to carry on working on it. I basically need to disconnect VS from VSO and can't, and can't connect to anything else instead.
Has anyone come across this problem and a solution to it? I've searched but only find answers about disconnecting a project from it's current source control, I don't want to do that, I want each project to remain with it's source control, but I need to be able to choose which source control VS is connected to.
Well I've found AN answer eventually, through trial and error... it's a bit of a faff.
First thing is I forgot that VSS doesn't use the Team Explorer. When I opened the VSS based project the project HAD actually connected to VSS, but the Team Explorer wasn't reflecting that. So I could carry on working on my VSS based project and just ignore Team Explorer.
However I still wanted to disconnect, because it had only been a one-off requirement to connect to that Visual Studio Online project.
What I did was...
1. Log out of my Microsoft account from Visual Studio.
2. Close and re-open Visual Studio.
3. Click close on the prompt to log in to my Microsoft account.
4. THEN the option to delete the connection was available in Team Explorer. Pretty sure it hadn't been there before.
5. Log back in to my Microsoft account.
Unfortunately I had also reset my Microsoft Account password in the trial and error, which I now think was unnecessary. I was just trying to force VS to stop connecting to that repository.
As Team Explorer is not use with VSS you may want to use "Team | Disconnect from TFS" to disconnect. Then switch your control...
Note: As VSS as been completely unsupported for many years you are incurring a significant business risk by staying with it. Have you raised this risk with your executive team? Do they know that their organisational asset is at risk?
In my company, we are using Team Server Foundation 2010.
Last week when I was checking out some ssrs (sql server reporting services 2010) files, I obtained the correct files from TFS. I could see that the files were still connected to TFS.
However, I think there was a time last week where there was a message saying that I was working offline.
Now when I obtained the most current code from TFS, I do get the correct code. However I do not see that the code is connected to TFS any longer. Basically when using Source Control Explorer, I do not see that this code is linked to TFS
Thus I would like to know how to get my code back to accessed in TFS 2010?
Do you see the same problem with all files in TFS or only specific set of files?
Do you see this problem in only one workspace or in all workspaces on a single machine? Or does it affect all users?
What does it mean that files are not linked to TFS, can you post a screenshot?
TFS 2010 was quite weak story for offline and it worked only for solutions (as visible in Solution Explorer). Source Control Explorer always required connection to TFS
I'm also confuse about “files are not linked to TFS”you describle ,can you post a screenshot.
Simply offline mode means TFS 2010 goes offline (disconnect the connectivity properly between your local machine and TFS 2010 server) while your solution is already open though VS 2010.If you checkout files while you are in offline mode, then TFS 2010 source controls system doesn’t record or track any changes you made. But when you reconnect TFS server, the server will get you changes in pengding changes, then you can check in manually.
To get your solution back online to TFS you can try this solution:right-click on the solution name right at the top of the Solution Explorer and select the Go Online option.
More detail: How do I get my solution in Visual Studio back online in TFS?
You need to use the "go online" command to re-sync:
Cannot see go online option in tfs
Note: TFS 2010 is no longer supported and you should upgrade soonest
I got a project which includes both a windows service (a C# project/solution in VS2013) and some SQL scripts (a SQL Server Script project/solution in SSMS 2012).
Both of these use TFS as source control.
The strange thing is that pending changes differ between VS and SSMS.
In SSMS I only see changes to files in the SSMS solution.
In VS I see all changes in both solutions except new files added to the SSMS solution.
This means I can't check in all changes in one place and have them in one change set (unless I manually add the new SSMS files in the VS Source Control Explorer).
I am pretty new to TFS (coming from Mercurial/Git) so I still don't understand how many things work, e.g. how pending changes/source control explorer detect new files.
If you are using TFS 2012 or later, you can choose either a local or server workspace from within VS. There are pros and cons to each but with the local workspace you should be able to achieve this requirement. Visual Studio will detect new files that is within it's source control and add/edit/delete as a pending change as required.
What version of TFS are you using?
Problem
I'm using VisualStudio 2012 Ultimate v11.0.50727.1 Update 4 and VisualStudio 2013 Ultimate v12.0.21005 EL and I'm able to connect to TFS through any browser. But suddenly I can't connect to TFS at xxxxx.VisualStudio.com from within VisualStudio anymore. Yesterday I easily did a Check-In at work with the same account. but I can't connect to TFS at home.
This is the URL I'm using: (I've tried changing it a bit like adding /tfs or /DefaultCollection)
I'm stuck with this, I've tried different ways but none have worked so far and it's still giving me these errors: TF31002, TF300324 and TF205020
TF31002 (this error happens when trying to Add a new server)
TF205020: Could not connect to server ‘https://xxxxxx.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection’. This server was used in your last session, but it might be offline or unreachable. Confirm that the server is available on the network. To attempt to connect again, or to a different server, click ‘Connect To Team Foundation Server’ in Team Explorer or the Team menu.
TF400324: Team Foundation services are not available from server https://xxxxxx.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection.
Technical information (for administrator):
The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.
(The last 2 errors happen when VisualStudio is trying to login to tfs)
I've tried these:
Go to VisualStudio.com and Sign out from all browsers
Delete Cookies and Caches of IE10 (and test when IE has signed in to visualstudio.com or signed out of it)
Go to Regedit and set the DWORD to 0 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\TeamFoundation\Instances
Browse to %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\4.0\Cache and delete everything
Delete all credentials from Windows Credential Manager (and remove Link Online ID)
Installed VS2013
Installed Team Explorer 2013
Installed VS2012 Update 4
Installed a fresh copy of Windows 8
What I want.
After some long and desperate time of trying to connect to TFS online, Now I'm just looking for a way to Check-in my changes. (doing it by hand is not an option because there's a large number of changes and I can't even know which files are changed since last check-in)
I just saw this link and it totally worked for me after nothing else would: http://www.cnblogs.com/CuteNet/p/3556276.html
regedit:
Close all instances of Visual Studio 2013
Delete this folder in the registry (just “TokenStorage” – nothing else):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VSCommon\12.0\ClientServices\TokenStorage
I had similar issue where I couldn't connect (TF31002) to TFS 2010 using VS 2010, 2012 and 2013 on my laptop but can connect from web and other servers just fine.
I tried almost all suggestions given by various sources online but had no luck.
I was getting ready to reimage tha laptop but as one last try I started comparing config's between another virtual machine (where the connection was successful) to my laptop. I found that in my laptop I have additional defaultProxy settings in 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config’
<system.net>
<defaultProxy>
<proxy autoDetect="false" bypassonlocal="false" proxyaddress="http://XXX.X.X.X:XXXX" usesystemdefault="false"/>
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>
After deleting the above node completely I was able to connect to TFS 2010 successfully.
Hope this helps.
I've found a way to check-in all changes of the home computer at work computer.
Copy the local TFS folder from home computer (including the hidden $tf subfolder) to work computer.
Install Team Foundation Sidekicks for 2012
Search for the home computer name
Click on Update Workspace Computer Name
Go to Source Control Explorer and open Workspaces...
Check Show remote workspaces checkbox (if the home workspace is not shown)
Edit the home workspace
Remove current mapping
Map $/ to the local folder (which has $tf)
When click on Advanced It should look like this:
Switch to the new Workspace and done!
It seems to me that private workspace is what causing the problem, and I will try to change it to public after I checked in.
Edit
I've found another workaround which requires no workspace hacks. (This method is originally designed for recovering from wrong check-ins)
In Source Control Explorer select root (collection, not project)
click Compare folders
in source version section choose the latest safe version
in target path section browse to the not-checked-in folder
make sure both paths end with same name (e.g. $/MyProj and E:\FromHome\TFS\MyProj)
(set any additional settings...) and click OK
DoubleClick on files with different value of Yes and write down the names of those file that should be loaded from local folder (right part of screen probably shows local)
Open those files from Solution Explorer and overwrite them with local files
I faced the same issue few days back
1. Disable your firewall(not recommended)
2. Run VS 2013 in admin mode.
3. Disable antivirus or add TFS in whitelist.
4. Select connect to TFS and create a new project in another directory (Local copy)
5. Check the directory for access(Read only by default change the permissions)
6. try to check in now.
After changing the permissions to the local directory i was able to check in my changes.
I was having the same issues using Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 and for me the problem was Anti-Virus software (Kaspersky Endpoint Security 8). See this link: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dstfs/archive/2014/07/24/can-t-connect-to-visual-studio-online-from-any-version-of-in-vs-quot-the-underlying-connection-was-closed-an-unexpected-error-occurred-on-a-send-quot.aspx
Check your URL first!
I had a problem with such URL:
https://domain-name.com
Turns out that symbol "-" where replaced with some special char . But Visual Studio 2012(2013) did not indicate that anyhow. Apparently it was not able to find such domain. As result same issue TF31002 and a day spent in research.
I was having a similar problem with Visual Studio Premium 2013 connecting to our project from inside VS. It kept returning TF31002, but I could access it with a browser.
From the browser I went to Home->Activities->Open New instance of Visual Studio and my tfs project loaded right into the Team Explorer frame.
Hope that helps.
I had the same issue when I wanted to connect to the TFS with Visual Studio. This solved my problem:
I used a VPN connection to the server
I used the ip address instead of the link given by the TFS (http://"ip address":8080/tfs instead of http://"link":8080/tfs)
I have a project on vs 2010. I have tried to add project on windows server 2003 which has tfs 2010 installed. Later on I have switched to windows server 2008 and then installed tfs 2010 again. But I have changed server name.
Now, when I try to add project to tfs, I receive and error says that;
Team Foundation services are not available from server http://old server name:8080/tfs/. Technical information (for administrator): The remote name could not be resolved: 'old server name'
I have tried to add different projects but I havent received any errors. I am thinking problem is like, visual studio installed on my client computer has registered project with old server name and still tries the same server but team explorer can not find the server.
what shall I do?
PS: I am not tring to get my codes on old server. I did not use tfs, just wanted to learn it.
If you get the message when you open Visual Studio then you need to go to Team Explorer and click the "Connect to Team Project" button, then click on the "servers" button and remove the old server. If you need to you can also add the new server here.
If it's when you're opening the solution then you need to remove the Source Control bindings
open the solution and then go to "File", "Source Control", "Change Source Control" this will open up a screen where you can Unbind the Projects and Solutions from the old server.
