Ran into a strange issue today when trying to upgrade a project from VS2008 to VS2010. We are running TFS 2010 and the Team Project appears fine in Team Explorer under VS2008 but is mysteriously missing from Team Explorer in VS2010. My windows account is also part of the Project Collection Administrators group.

Visual Studio 2008
Thanks to all those who pointed out my settings file was corrupted. This was indeed the case.
Here are the new files:
I recently had a few of the junior and work experience developers asking for some help in solving some coding issues.
More often then not the answer was in front of them but they didn’t know about tools such as Quick Watch, Navigating through code, Breakpoints and the Callstack window.
I decided it was time to get back to basics and show them all the tools they can use to find and solve the issues themselves.
See my updated post Visual Studio 2008 - Join the dark side *updated* for a new settings file
I’ve recently joined the dark side and implement a black theme on my Visual Studio IDE.
It makes the code nice and easy to read because of the contrast.
Quick tip for those of you who use a batch file to regenerate your data access layer.
You might have noticed that if you try to run (double click) a batch file from the solution explorer window it just opens the batch file in a text editor.
To make it actually run you:
- Right click the batch file
- Select “Open With…”
- Click “Add…”
- In “Program name” put the path of PowerShell (“C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe”)
- In “Friendly name” type in “PowerShell”
- Click OK
