Our team decide to use Visual Studio Community instead of Visual Studio 2013. I wonder can we install TFS in Visual Studio Community and work well? Thanks!
Visual Studio Community edition is feature equal to Visual Studio Professional except that in an organization it can only be used for open source projects, academic research or learning. For other commercial scenarios you're only allowed to use the Community edition up to 5 users.
Team Foundation Server is a separate product. If you have an MSDN subscription (which you won't have if you're using VS Community), you get licenses to install TFS.
However, instead of installing TFS you can also look at Visual Studio Team Services, a hosted version of TFS which is free up to five users.
So, if you're with less than 5 users, you can use Community and Visual Studio Team Services completely free.

I have a project developed in MVC 6 into Visual Studio 2015. I want to configure it in my system.
My system has Visual Studio 2012. I want to know, Is it possible to run MVC 6 project into Visual Studio 2012?
I searched a lot but I did not get satisfactory answer.Can anyone guid me regarding this?
When I tried to buil this project in my system, I got the error i.e. "The Web project 'ABC' requires missing web components to run with Visual Studio."
ASP.NET 5 (renamed to ASP .NET Core 1.0) includes MVC 6 (renamed to ASP .NET Core 1.0 MVC, with no trailing version number) and it goes well with Visual Studio 2015. If at all possible, you should consider installing Visual Studio 2015.
On one of my laptops, I have VS2012, VS2013, VS2015 and VSCode all sitting happily next to each other. So if you still need VS2012 for some reason, you can always install VS2015 on the same machine.
If you're concerned about cost, you can download VS2015 Community Edition, which is free for individuals, startups and small teams.
I would suggest downloading the latest version from:
http://get.asp.net
EDIT:
After the RC2 release in May 2016, the get URL now redirects to:
https://www.microsoft.com/net
There's a download button on this page to get ASP .NET Core, which leads to:
https://www.microsoft.com/net/core
If you need a more lightweight editor or you want to develop across Windows/Mac/Linux, the new ASP .NET Core also works with the cross-platform VS Code;
http://code.visualstudio.com
Hope that helps!

Is there any 3rd party tools support TFS 2013 Branch and Merge command ?
Here are some context information:
Existing source code is Delphi, using Delphi 2007 (IDE), and we are redeveloping entire product to C# (LOC 2.7m+)
We do many branches and merge. (we need it)
Using SVN at this moment
Want to migrate TFS 2013
C# developers are using VS2013, therefore they has no problem with TFS 2013
Delphi developers are using Delphi 2007 (CodeGear)
What I have searched:
Team Explorer: a good options. But It cannot be integrated into Delphi IDE.
SvnBridge (V4): Branch is not fully developed and unstable. Merge is not developed.
MSSCCI Provider + SourceConnexion: no branch and merge support.
TFS Power Tools: works well with Windows Explorer, but it does not provide branch and merge in its menu.
TFS+GIT: could be a option, but it will increase curve of learning for whole team, but it is still a option
Question:
Is there any other tools I can try to integrate TFS to Delphi, including Branch and Merge command?
Thanks.
You have full command line support for both Windows and Linux. You have Team Explorer which is the APIbfor windows and Team Explorer everywhere which provides support for Eclipse and most eclipse derived IDE.
In both cases you also get native command line tools:

Advice: Move to Git in TFS and use whatever tools that you like.

Are there any TFS plugins available for the Eclipse IDE? We are trying to centralise our SCM, and since we also develop Java 2 EE applications, we would like to have TFS integration in eclipse.
Which plugins are available? Which have you found most useful.
I heard that Microsoft may be releasing one, does anyone know about this?
I have had a look and found the reviews of Teamprise looks good, however would like to have > 1 option!
Thanks in advance.
Option 1: Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010
With the launch of Visual Studio 2010 ALM Microsoft also released Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010 which is an Eclypse plug in.
This is fully supported by Microsoft (they bought Teamprise) and supports:
Any of the following IDEs:
Eclipse 3.0 to 3.5 on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX.
IBM Rational Application Developer 6.0 to 7.5 on Windows.
IBM Rational Application Developer 7.0 to 7.5 on Linux.
Additional IDEs based on Eclipse 3.0 to 3.5 are supported including Adobe Flex Builder 3 and Aptana Studio 2.0.
Option 2: SVN Bridge
You can use the SVN Bridge to use any product that would normaly connect to SVN to connect to Team Foundation Server. Magic :)
(February 2010)
There might not be a free plugin and this SO question reports several alternative to a direct Eclipse integration.
Otherwise, there is Teamprise:
(Octobre 2010)
As Martin (mrhinsh) details in his answer (go upvote it):
Since Teamprise was aquired by Microsoft it has become Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010 (as mentioned by the teamprise.com page, and detailed in the Microsoft teamprise FAQ page).
It might be accessible for anyone with a MSDN licence.
(thijs confirms in the comment: "its free with an MSDN (Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN) account")
(March 2012, mentioned in the comments by Buck Hodges, Development manager for Microsoft Team Foundation Server):
The blog post "Even Better Access to Team Foundation Server" by Brian Harry MS announces:
Starting today, we are eliminating the requirement to purchase Team Explorer Everywhere separately.
Before today,
Team Explorer Everywhere users had to purchase both a Client Access License (CAL) and the Team Explorer Everywhere software,
whereas Visual Studio Team Explorer users only had to purchase a CAL – the Visual Studio Team Explorer software has always been a free download (TE 2008, TE 2010, TE 11 Beta) for users who had a license to access a TFS server.
Starting today the story is the same for Team Explorer Everywhere (TEE 2010 with SP1, TEE 11 Beta).
Team Explorer Everywhere is now a free download. Here is the official post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bharry/archive/2012/03/08/even-better-access-to-team-foundation-server.aspx. Prior to March 8, 2012, it was not free.
You must have a client access license (CAL) for TFS, and that comes with MSDN subscriptions, for example.
Teamprise integration I found to be filled with bugs, after days of trying to get it to work with the Zend IDE 6.1, I stopped. We decided as a large corporation to not use TFS for our OS development.
To provide updated information:
The eclipse plugin update site is public available and is free!
Installation instructions are here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh301122.aspx
If you want to install stable release http://dl.microsoft.com/eclipse/tfs
If you want to install and test the preview release
http://dl.microsoft.com/eclipse/tfs/preview
have a look at SvnBridge, then you can use an SVN plugin in Eclipse e.g. Subclipse (or svn command line or tortoisesvn depending on your development environemt)
Other than that you're stuck with paying MS for the TEE plugin.

I have to setup team foundation server for a company, something that I don't have any experience in.
The company will have about 5 or so developers that will be using it.
Is this a big task or something that is fairly easy to do (with instructions)?
Any helpful tutorials that you can recommend?
Any recommendations on server specs for a team of 5-10?
Your first step should be to download the latest TFS Installation Guide (TFSInstall.chm) from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=FF12844F-398C-4FE9-8B0D-9E84181D9923&displaylang=en
You should use TFS 2008 SP1, since it is the latest release and includes many new features and performance improvements.
If you are planning on installing with Windows 2008 & SQL 2008, you will need to "integrate" the TFS 2008 SP1 into the installation disc. Instructions are included in the TFSInstall.chm, but Martin Woodward also has a walkthrough on his blog:
http://www.woodwardweb.com/vsts/creating_a_tfs.html
(This isn't required for SQL 2005 SP2 + Windows 2003)
The install guide also has hardware recommendations.
For a team of your size, you should also consider running your TFS instance as a Virtual Machine. This will allow you to up-size and move your installation around more easily at a later date. TFS is supported on the Hyper-V virtualization platform: http://blogs.msdn.com/granth/archive/2008/06/27/team-foundation-server-and-hyper-v-virtualization.aspx
And if you need help along the way, you have three options:
Call up MS product support ($$, but you will get an answer)

Sign up to the http://OzTFS.com/ mailing list. The people on this list are pretty good at responding to questions almost instantaneously. It's also a great list to join if you just want to "watch" what's happening.
Disregard the "Cliff's Note" link - it's for VSTS 2005. There's no reason to install an old version - the installer (and everything else about the product) is MUCH improved with VSTS2008. Also make sure you install SP1 - it's not just bug fixes but some MAJOR enhancements.
Instructions for install are here: Team Foundation VSTS2008 Install Guide make sure you closely follow the recommendations for the Accounts necessary for install.
Blog post with recommendations for server specs
The link that Espo posted is excellent walkthroughs for configuring TFS after you get it installed.
TFS 2008 SP1 Download
Also you will want the following
TFS 2008 Power Tools in particular there is a "Team Foundation Server Best Practices Analyzer" which you can run against the server before the install to make sure everything is patched correctly etc (and afterwards to make sure the install went properly). It will require Windows Powershell installed on the server as pre-req.
Also you will want Team System Web Access 2008 SP1 - (formerly Team Plain) which will allow you to access the features of TFS as a web application.
Here is a great guide for setting up TFS 2012 on Windows 8 machine with Visual Studio 2012

See the link below for a condensed walkthrough:
Cliff's Notes for a Team System Install
VSTS2005 was quite challenging to install and configure correctly. I have heard 2008 is MUCH better, but have yet to try it yet. Be prepared to spend a fair bit of time on this and read everything before starting. However, don't loose heart, TFS is well worth the effort!!
