MAPPING SOURCE CONTROL IN TFS
(THIS SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE FIRST THING YOU DO A FTER CONNECTING TO TFS)
Team Foundation Server (TFS) allows you to access remote files & folders under what is called
Source Control. Follow these steps to ensure you are using Source Control and mapped to your
hard drive.
1. Open Visual Studios by locating the program shortcut under Start > All Programs >
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
2. Make sure you are properly connected to TFS. You should be connected to the mistfs server
and have the appropriate Team Project loaded. You may need to reconnect to the server.
There are separate instructions for this on the course website.

MAPPING SOURCE CONTROL IN TFS

(THIS SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE FIRST THING YOU DO AFTER CONNECTING TO TFS)

Team Foundation Server (TFS) allows you to access remote files & folders under what is called Source Control. Follow these steps to ensure you are using Source Control and mapped to your hard drive.

  1. Open Visual Studios by locating the program shortcut under Start > All Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
  2. Make sure you are properly connected to TFS. You should be connected to the mistfs server and have the appropriate Team Project loaded. You may need to reconnect to the server. There are separate instructions for this on the course website.
  3. Once you are connected to our class’s Team Project , it should be visible in the Team Explorer tab. This tab should be on the right of your screen with the Solution Explorer tab. If you do not see it, click View > Team Explorer in the top menu bar.
  4. In the Team Explorer window, double click the Source Control option. This will display the folders you have access to on the Team Foundation Server.
  5. In the Source Control Explorer , you will see the class’s Team Project n the left. Double-click the name to expand this option.
  1. You should see a folder with your UNCW email ID on the left under the Team Project name. This folder is unique based on your login and can only be seen by your account.
  2. This folder is a NETWORK folder; it is NOT local to your hard drive. In order to work with this folder, you need to “map” the folder to have an identical folder on your local hard drive. Unfortunately, you will need to map this each time you use Visual Studios in the lab. I suggest mapping to a location on your Timmy drive and be consistent in that when using Visual Studios.
  3. To the left the Folders in the Source Control Explorer you should see a screen that has the label Local Path: Not mapped across the top. Click the words Not mapped to open the screen to choose your local path.
  4. From the Map window, click the ... button next to the Local folder box.
