My setup is Team Foundation Server 2010. We have some shared Work Item Queries. My question: When I edit a Team Query, other users do not get my changes. I suspect that they have to restart Visual Studio 2010 in order to get my query changes. Is there anyway of forcing an update on team queries.
If you right-click on your Team Project in Team Explorer you 'll see the 'refresh' option. This should do. 'Refresh' is also available in Work Item level.

I am working with migration of TFS from 2013 to 2018. I just noticed that "Build" and few other tabs are missing Team Explorer panel and tried to search on internet and did not find anything helpful. If someone has any idea why build tab is missing then please guide me to bring it back. However, on web portal, I am able to see the build definition. I am using VS2017/TFS2018.
My question is really similar to how to open *.sdf files? but my question is specific how I can view it in Visual Studio
I've added a data connection to my server and as such, I can see the option to browse my database as if I were on SSMS, but within the Server Explorer pane of Visual Studio. This is jolly useful.
I'd like to open an .sdf from within the Server Explorer pane of visual studio. I have downloaded the SQLite/SQL Server Compact Toolbox from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ErikEJ.SQLServerCompactSQLiteToolbox
When I expand my CE database, I see the list of tables, but only an option for refresh and one for properties. No option to edit the content or change the design. Is this possible?
Hans Passant's comment put me on right path
I was unable to achieve what I wanted in the Server Explorer Pane, but I could do what I wanted in the SqlLite/Sql Server Compact Toolbox pane. To get this, Tools -> SqlLite/Sql Server Compact Toolbox
When publishing a web application in Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise I can do a preview on the files that are changed by clicking the preview link. The window comes up and I can uncheck files I dont want BUT, there is only a cancel button, and I am not able to update the file list.
There use to be the ability to click Publish from that view to only update the selected files but now that is no longer the case.
Is there an alternative "tools" way in Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise to publish and exclude certain files from being updated for example the web.config?
I don't have an alternative tool however according to the forums this has been patched and will be deployed in the next public release (15.3).
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/26373/publish-preview-not-allowing-selective-publish-of.html
I've been getting around this by copying the files that I don't want and replacing them back after I publish.
I can confirm that this has now been fixed as of the latest update 15.3 which was released this week
I had created a Team Project Collection and added a team project on TFS 2010 which was a created on a VMWare space. Of late my system administrator copied the image of the server and recreated it on to a new VMWare server due to space shortage.
Not sure if the given issue is occuring due to that but post the movement I am getting this error when trying to create a Team Project on TFS 2010
Error TF24023:
Team Foundation Server Configuration Failure. The New
Team Project Wizard work item component could not connect to the Team
Foundation Server \
Explanation
Contact the administrator for the Team Foundation Server
\ to confirm that the
server is available on the network. Also, you might find additional
helpful information in the project creation log. The log shows each
action taken by the wizard at the time of the failure and may include
additional details about the error.
User Action
The Project Creation Wizard was not able to connect to
the Team Foundation Server \. The reason for the failed connection cannot be
determined at this time.
The server is accessible and am able to work with my earlier created Team Project, but not able to create a new one as it tries to look at the servername\projectcollectionname instance as the server name. Can someone help to resolve this.
Tried searching the error number and the log related solutions and other forums but could not get any specifics related to my issue.
What is in the log files? Do you have SharePoint or SSRS configured? And are those configurations still valid?
I'm trying to modify and set alert templates on a SP (working on a copy of alerttemplates.xml), but I'd like to deploy them just on some specific sites, not the whole farm. Is this possible? I'm using SharePoint 2010 RTM.
Thanks
Changes take effect at the site collection level (aka top level site) and include all subsites in them
stsadm -o updatealerttempaltes
If you want more granular control you would have to look into IAlertNotifier, workflow or various 3rd party apps.
