tfsversion-controlvisual-studio
I'm trying to get a list of all check-ins (limited / ordered by date) via the TFS query editor in Visual Studio Team Explorer.
I can make a query that lists all bugs, sprint backlog item or product backlog item, but I can't find the actual check-in. Is it's possible or should I make (SQL) queries directly on the database.
Ideas?
These files contain user preference configurations that are in general specific to your machine, so it's better not to put it in SCM. Also, VS will change it almost every time you execute it, so it will always be marked by the SCM as 'changed'. I don't include either, I'm in a project using VS for 2 years and had no problems doing that. The only minor annoyance is that the debug parameters (execution path, deployment target, etc.) are stored in one of those files (don't know which), so if you have a standard for them you won't be able to 'publish' it via SCM for other developers to have the entire development environment 'ready to use'.
You need to put your directory structure in your project directory. And then click "Show All Files" icon in the top of Solution Explorer toolbox. After that, the added directory will be shown up. You will then need to select this directory, right click, and choose "Include in Project."
Best Solution
Just open the Team Explorer window, expand the TFS project, and double-click the Source Control node there.
Then you can simply right-click a project or directory in TFS source control and select View History, then you'll get all the commits.
