TFS without an IDE

Hi list, Does anyone use any tools which allow you to check files in and out of TFS without having to use Team Explorer in Visual Studio ? ___ ozdotnet mailing list ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozdotnet

Command-line tools are standard with tfs. eg: Ø tf edit filename. Ø Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc31bk2e(VS.80).aspx Ø tf.exe should be on your path, or locatable in Program Files Also get your hands on the TFS power tools (to get tfpt.exe which has some excellent goo

You can just use "team explorer". It is a free gui that looks like VS but only allows tfs activities. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0ed12659-3d41-4420-bbb0-a46e51bfca86&displaylang=en On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 8:39 AM, Grant Molloy wrote: > Thanks for that Mike.. > I'll

Re: TFS without an IDE

That is correct. Regardless of that, it is an appropriate choice where you want to give a non-developer access to TFS. You can install it as a free stand alone tool. On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 9:06 AM, Preet Sangha wrote: > Its just 'visual studio' init :-) But with out the language services... > > O

For a couple of hundred meg, why bother with a drive at all? Just get a usb flash drive. 32GB is less than $50 these days. And they're speed is more than adequate for most activities. David "If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards... checkmate!" -

RE: [OT] External hard drives

Just remember that power is not supplied over eSATA - you will need to carry around a power adapter or you will need to carry a USB cable (if the drive is a 2.5" one, power can be supplied over USB). If this is just for file storage, then it may just be easier to get an external caddy that has U

RE: [OT] External hard drives

The limitation is the speed of 5400 RPM drives. Neither FW nor eSATA in common laptop (2.5” enclosures) supply power, so you have to carry extra cables (power or USB) to power the thing, and you end up using a USB port as well. Unless you want to run VMs off this thing, just stick to USB 2.0 – i

Ah, well I suppose you could use 6 x 32 GB usb flash drives in raid 0 :) More realistically though, without knowing how the files are being used, I'd say 2.5" drive (as big as you're willing to pay for) and a drive case that you have checked will support the size you buy. Some of the cheap ones d

Thanks everyone for the advice. I believe Ken's advice that if it's just for backups and carrying files around then a USB connection is good enough. The guy in the shop pointed out that the 2.5" drives were the USB ones, and they came in 2 or 1 cable versions. So I picked the 500GB Seagate 1-cable
