Hi there,
I really could do with some help.
I've just started a new job with no handover and the projects are report projects are locked (read only).
I'm assuming this is because they are using source control.
I can see a tab on Visual studio called Source Control Explorer.
Also there is a message in the Output window:
This solution is offline. [Team Foundation Server: http://IP Address/tfs/DefaultCollection]
I've also checked a virtual machine on the pc and I'm assuming a lot of report work is done on this as this VM as it also has Source Control Explorer with several projects
So, if I'm assuming correctly, Source Control Explorer is used with Team foundation server. I'm also assuming the SSRS project is locked because it's checked out.
My first question is, are my assumptions correct? If so, what would be the best way for me to get up to speed in learning this environment and unlocking this project.
Thank you

The lock sign means the opposite - i.e., it that the code is checked into source control. If someone else had checked it out, you would see a little human face also next to it.
You can work offline without using the source control, but it would be more advisable to connect to the source control. You have to find where the TFS server is and then use the Team -> Connect to a Team Foundation Server in Visual Studio to connect to that server.
This forum has a lot of experts on SQL Server, but not much in TFS etc. So if you continue to run into difficulties, you may want to post to a Visual Studio or TFS forum. |

Thanks, I appreciate the help.
That was a type: I meant checked in.
I'll take your advice. Incidentally, if I were to learn what to do. Would I find TFS videos and start from there?
Thanks |

Found this page which is a quick and nice read: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jasonz/archive/2009/10/21/tutorial-getting-started-with-tfs-in-vs2010.aspx
That's really helpful, thanks for that. I found some videos as well so I'll just work through them.
There's an option on the file menu on VS2010 (Source Control > Open From Source Control). This is very much like Visual Source Safe (at least the options when you right click are the same.
Thank again |
