I don't think you will be searching the entire commit message for longer commit messages using this method note the ellipses present when you paste , which would make this useful if you're sure that you're looking for something in the first-line synopsis, but dangerous otherwise. I admit, at first I cringed when I first read this, but then I said to heck with third party tools, this idea works just fine.

Thank you! Query for work items. Ensure source control and the local disk are identical. Search for changesets matching specific criteria. Delete files and folders not under version control. Unshelve into workspace with pending changes. Undo changes to unchanged files in the workspace. Create, update, or view work items. Test Attachment Cleaner. The execution of a Test Run whether automated or manual generates a bunch of diagnostic data, which may be captured either automatically by the system or manually by the tester.

In Visual Studio , the database administrator has little or no control over what data gets attached as part of Test Runs. For example, she has no policy settings to limit the size of the data capture, or how long to hold the data before initiating a cleanup.

This tool addresses these issues by:. Determining which set of diagnostic captures is taking up how much space AND. Reclaiming the space for runs which are no longer relevant from business perspective. Windows PowerShell Cmdlets. This tool provides a Windows PowerShell interface that supports basic version control commands and a pipeline and glue to enable scripting.

Windows Shell Extensions. This tool provides integration with Windows Explorer and the common file dialogs. With this integration, you can perform many source control operations without having to run Visual Studio or a Team Foundation command-line tool.

I know how to search within a TFS project! I have a question: how to search work items in all TFS projects within the same collection!!! Whether you want to search single work item in one collection?

Actually, "Work Item Search" is designed to search work item in one collection. After enter a work item ID in search box, the work item ID is unique across all work item types in all team projects in a project collection, so you will get that work item. And work items in every team project shown as the table. I enter work item ID in search work item box like 23, 26, and 11, they are in different team projects but in same collection.

The result is i can use " Search Work Items " to search work item within one collection. It does not work for me. I enter the value in the search box and hit enter. No results. If I use Go to work item dialog box and enter the same value the required work item will be opened. I am the server admin.
