How to change TFS user name and password in Visual Studio 2012

bhrnjica — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 18:18:00 GMT

Today, in one of our several common Virtual Machines, I wanted to access TFS which is in our VPN Company network. Previously some one else was working on that machine, so his credential for TFS is stored as a default user. So this is not a problem in Visual Studio 2010, because you can just change user and connect to TFS.

In Visual Studio 2012 there is no action for that in the current window, as you can see on the picture below.

In case of VisualStudio.com service, there is an option to change user name.

If you want to change user name in the first case, you need to find solution somewhere else not here.

In fact to change user name of previous connection, you have to delete cached connection or at least modify it which is stored in Windows Credential in Control Panel.

So open Control Panel->User Account and choose Manage your credentials

Within Windows Credential Find connection to TFS and remove it, or edit it if you like.

Restart Visual Studio 2012, and try to connect to TFS, you should get the prompt for User name and password:

Multiple *.vsmdi Files while running tests or manipulating TestList

Hey Guys,

We have one Testsolution which drives us crazy.

Because everytime a user is running a test or manipulating the Testlist (add, delete or edit) a new vsmdi File has been created and added to the solution.

For this bug there are several workarounds or resolutions. The following help us:

After a new vsmdi File has been created from VS 2008 go to the Source Control Explorer and make a lock (checkout - prevent other users from checking out and checking in) on the Solution.

Delete the newly created vsmdi file and add the old one. The last step is to check in the Solution.

Every Team Member should get the latest version of this solution and now they should be able to manipulate the Testlist and run tests without getting a new vsmdi file.

greets

Today i receive a nice error message and i was a little bit confused about it.

The error message looks as follows:

Error 18 Unable to create a manifest resource name for "AdminService.asmx.resx". Access to the path ':\MyProjects\WebDavService\AdminService.asmx.cs' is denied.

I'm looking around and go in the Project Folder. And I can't believe what i see there. Every *.cs file was now an File Folder.

The following picture shows my experience.

If someone has the same experience as I please let me know if there is any suggestion for it.
