Viewing Team Foundation Server messages within Visual Studio

You can view detailed Team Foundation Server messages from within the Visual Studio 2005 IDE using the Output pane:

  • CTRL+ALT+O
  • View, Output

As you can see, just drop down the "Show Output From" list and select "Source Control - Team Foundation". It's quite handy for troubleshooting issues and determining what exactly happened when you did that Get Latest operation!

# re: Viewing Team Foundation Server messages within Visual Studio

Hi,

Sometimes we just get the option as "Build" in the dropdown, near the "Show Output from" label. The values from "Team Foundation Server" and "General" are missing from the dropdown.

Any clues how do we solve this?
Thanks

Looks like a bug or "feature"..

You must trigger a TFS warning for the output to appear, unfortunately.
