I am trying to use TFS storing non-VisualStudio source code. Working with Visual Studio

  • 0

I am trying to use TFS storing non-VisualStudio source code. Working with Visual Studio 2012 and Microsoft’s online Team Foundation Service.

I’ve setup a TeamProject and mapped its root to a local folder. All it contains at the moment is a BuildProcessTemplates folder in it. (which was created as part of the TeamProject)

I copied my source code externally (using windows explorer) into the TeamProject root folder on my hard drive and since my TFS workspace is NOT a server workspace but rather a local workspace, I was expecting VS to detect the folders/files and show them in Pending Changes window …. yet it doesn’t.

Interestingly, new files in the root folder are detected as “Excluded Changes” but new folders are not detected.

What am I missing?

    First make sure the newly added folders contains files.

    Are there any Detected changes shown in the Excluded Changes section?
    Detected changes

    Pending Changes > Detected changes link > The Promote Candidate Changes dialog box appears > check the files you want and click Promote.
