Project Description
Team System Version Control Client is used to Create Workspaces, Working Folders, Add files, checkIn and Update Sources of Team System projects in TFS without using Visual Studio 2005.


We had the need to be able to add some older projects into our Team Foundation Server without having to put them in a solution file, and we couldn't find any client fitting our needs. So we decided to make one.


Here's how it works. It's pretty simple and straight forward. First, if it's the first time you work on the specified project on the client computer, you need to create the mapping between your local sources and the Team Foundation Server repository of the project. Once the mapping is made, the project will be displayed on the main panel of the client. Then you can select the project you want to work on and do your CheckIn, Update and Add Files.

TSVcClient use the Team Foundation Dlls included in the VS2005 Team Suite install, so it needs to be installed on the client computer.

Functionalities:
  • Create Working Folder
  • Add Files
  • Update Files
  • CheckIn
  • Merge Conflicts
  • Credantial management for HTTPS

This is a first Draft, you can leave us your comments or wanted features: Forum

We're looking for a tool like this one for use by non-developers in our team, such as the people who create and maintain our graphic images, stylesheets, etc. These people aren't licensed for Team Foundation clients, so we need something which doesn't require Team Suite to be installed on the workstation - is it possible to simply copy the required DLLs onto a workstation? Eg. is it a clearly defined and manageable subset, and would this be a problem license-wise?

thanks,

Pete
