Today I checked out a new project in TFS (Visual Studio 2010): Which, if any, folders do I need to create before checking out a TFS project?
The .sln file wouldn't save (said it was read-only, and even when changing that in Windows Explorer, it made no difference).
So, I created a new folder, created a new .sln, and then copied all the other files over to that structure.
Now, somehow, TFS has "given up the ghost" On connecting (I do seem to connect, I can see the projects in the Team Explorer pane), when I 2-click the "Source Control" item below a project, I get, "Team Foundation Server is not your current Source Control plug-in. Click here to set the current Source Control plug-in."
If I do fall for its ploy, I then see, "Error Command "Tools.Options" does not accept arguments or switches."
What in blue blazes is going on?!?
I reinstalled ("repaired", as that was the only option other than uninstall) MSSCCIProvider, but that did no good - I get the same errors. How can I get TFS back?
UPDATE
I am connecting to TFS, because when I open VS and select the "Connect to TFS" (verbiage?) link, it opens the Team Explorer tab, with a visual representation of the TFS server, with the various "areas" below that, and then, for the area I'm currently working on:
Handheld
> Work Items
Reports
> Builds
Source Control
...but when I mash "Source Control," it tells me, "TFS is not your current Source Control plug-in. Click here to set the current Source Control plug-in."
But that's a bait-and-switch, because when I do (click there), I get the err msg, "Error< crlf > Command "Tools.Options" does not accept arguments or switches."
As per my comment, it looks like you have the wrong source control plugin enabled in Visual Studio. In visual studio go to "Tools", "Options", "Source Control"
Make sure that the "Current source control plug-in" is set to "Visual Studio Team Foundation Server"
You should now be able to use Team Explorer to manage your code in TFS
