Connect to TFS2010 Server using VS 2005 Client

- Download and install Team Explorer 2005
- Download and install Visual Studio 2005 SP1
- Download and install VSTS 2005 Forward Compatibility Update

If you want to apply Team Explorer 2005 to connect TFS2010 on the machine that has VS2005 SP1 installed, please try the following steps in order:

- Download and install Team Explorer 2005
- Re-apply Visual Studio 2005 SP1 to upgrade Team Explorer 2005 to SP1

As TFS2010 introduces the notion of Team Project Collections. After the installation is completed successfully, you should provide the entire URL to connect TFS2010 server.
You can express the connection string as follows:

http://<serverName>:<port>/<vdir>/<collectionName> (e.g. http://TfsServer:8080/Tfs/ProjectCollectionName)

The <vdir> is an optional path for the TFS web sites specified by the administrator during setup. By default it is “tfs”.

I almost included the statement that it would but I'm not quite ready to promise that. We still have a few decisions left to make that could affect some parity issues. I don't think they are going to be big but until we've decided I'd rather not speculate.Conservatory Prices

I see where everybody says reload Visual Studio 2005 SP1,
does the team foundation 2010 still let VS2005 client connect with SP2?
