I currently have SharePoint 2010 and Project Server 2010 in a hyper for testing. I am trying to create a Sequential Workflow through Visual Studios 2010, following this site (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee767686.aspx) exactly. I'm keep hitting a "SharePoint Connection Error" when I'm in the beginning steps of validating the URL when asked "What local site do you want to use for debugging?" I checked through Central Admin for the URL to be sure, made sure everything located on the local machine, but I keep getting this error.
Anyone else have this issue before or know what this issue could be?
A little late, but this worked for me

When I open Visual Studio and attempt to connect to TFS, I get the following error message:
Error
Unexpected end of file.
I've found a handful of places online (like here and here) where people have run into similar situations but clearing the Team Foundation cache as recommended doesn't solve the issue.
I even completely uninstalled Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 and installed Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 and still get the same error.
I recently created a new TFS instance on another server for testing out some automated build features without messing with our current setup and can connect to the new TFS instance just fine.
What would cause this error?
First you could use another machine with VS installed to connect the same TFS under your account. This will narrow down if the issue only occurs on your local machine or not.
You could try to clear both TFS and VS cache issue.(You may not uninstalled the previous VS clearly).
For TFS cache:
close all instances of Visual Studio on the client machine,
manually delete the corresponding Tfs client cache folder, and then
start Visual Studio
The corresponding Tfs folders to manually delete are as follows:
Tfs 2017: "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\7.0\Cache\"
Tfs 2015: "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\6.0\Cache\"
For VS cache:
Delete the contents from the following folders
C:\Users\<<Your Alias>>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
C:\Users\<<Your Alias>>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon
Moreover, also give a try with removing the tfs related credentials from Credential Manager, close all Visual Studio instances, deleting %LOCALAPPDATA%\.IdentityService, use another user account connect to the TFS server.
Update: Op ended up doing an OS reload and haven't had any issues since.
I ended up doing a full OS reload
It was likely overkill as I'm convinced there was a cached file somewhere I couldn't locate that was holding those settings but I didn't have the extra time to fiddle with it and I needed to move to Windows 10 at some point anyway.
I'd venture to guess #PatrickLu-MSFT's answer will work for most people but for whatever reason it didn't for me.
In my case I closed Visual Studio 2017, went to the solution's directory and deleted the .vssscc file.
The file was then regenerated and the problem was solved.
on my computer I have a problem with connection to TFS 2013 using Visual Studio 2013 and 2015. This problem occurs on only one machine. Other users in the net can work without problems. In the same time I can connect to projects on Visual Studio Online. Problem happened after switching a few times between projects. Nothing was installed or changed either on my computer or on TFS Server. I've got following error: "Technical information (for administrator): The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseHeader Detail=CR must be followed by LF".
I've check this article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/query/dev12.query?appId=Dev12IDEF1&l=EN-US&k=k(vs.tfc.connecttotfs.unabletoconnect)&rd=true
But in section: "You receive this error when you try to connect to an on-premises TFS from your client computer " I didn't found solution. I also reinstalled Visual Studio but it didn't solved my problem.
How to solve this? Is there a way to check some logs or events to find a reason? Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards Pawel
To narrow down this problem, try the following actions:
1.check whether there is something wrong with user account
a) Connect to TFS with the same user on another machine.
b) Login in tfs web access in web browser with your account
2.Clear TFS local cache http://www.ewaldhofman.nl/post/2009/07/06/Clear-the-cache-of-TFS.aspx For TFS 2013 the default path: C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\5.0\Cache
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
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)
We have moved from Visual Studio 2010 to 2013 and take make thing more complicated, we moved tfs servers. I note the second part since that allows me to still test the 2010 code and see that I don't have any issues publishing. When I try to publish with 2013 I'm getting this message:
These are the settings I successfully deploy with on 2010:
These are the settings I attempt with 2013:
As you can see from the checkmark, it validates with these settings.
Initially 2013 brought over my profile from 2010. I ended up deleting that profile and creating a new one to see if that resolved it.
This is the settings screen in case if helps any:
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm stuck and I have no idea where to go from here.
Thanks!
Per this post: Visual Studio 2013 Web Deploy fails
I took a shot and renamed the Microsoft.Web.Publishing.Targets to .old and then reran the upload. I got past this error though I got another one not related to this issue.
Hope this helps someone!
