I have been unable to locate any information on compatibility with Visual Studio 2003 or 2005. I currently have TFS 2010 working correctly with Visual Studio 2008, but we have some developers with Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 instances.
To use VS 2003 you'll have to install the MSSCCI provider.

"Kinda"
You'll need to install a Forward Compatibility Update and even then not all features of 2010 are supported. You can find out more on the Team Foundation Server blog here: http://blogs.msdn.com/team_foundation/pages/compat-matrix-for-2010-rtm-team-foundation-server-to-team-explorer-2008-and-2005.aspx

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 am trying to integrate the BizTalk 2013 R2 templates into Visual Studio 2012 for a work project.
I tried to repair the BizTalk installation, but I still cannot find the BizTalk templates in Visual Studio.
I am using the two programs on a Windows Server 2012 workstation.
Can anyone help me understand what I might be doing wrong?
For all those interested in an answer, BizTalk 2013 R2 only works with the 2013 edition of Visual Studio. Therfore you will need to install this edition for it to be integrated.
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 a Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate version and would like to use it with Team Foundation Server 2012. Is the native VS 2010 Team explorer enough or should I install something else to fully support the new Team foundation Server 2012?
VS 2010 will natively connect to an on premises installation of TFS 2012 and it will be able to do all of the things that it could do with a TFS 2010 server. There are a few features new to TFS 2012 (like local workspaces) that are only available if you have a VS 2012 client.
If you want to connect to tfspreview.com (TFS's new hosted service) then you will need the VS 2010 hosting GDR: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=39070
Free trial or open source version for the following softwares?
Visual Studio 2010
Sharepoint 2010
SQL Server 2008
VS & SQL Server have express editions.
Visual Studio 2010 has many "Express" versions, for different languages - Visual C# Express 2010, Visual Basic Express 2010, and others.
SharePoint 2010 - I don't believe there is a free version of this, but if you have MSDN or TechNet subscription, you get a development-time-only version.
SQL Server has an express edition as well. I'd recommend SQL Server 2008 R2, however - may as well use the latest unless you have a reason not to.
