When trying to view a script component in an SSIS 2012 package I get the error:
TF10151: Cannot lock item <item path/name>. The item <item path/name> is checked out by Doe, John in workspace blahblah.
My main problem is that I don't want to check the script out, I just want to view it.
Our TFS, ver 2015, is set to NOT enable multiple check outs, for obvious reasons. This did not seem to be a problem when we were hitting a 2012 TFS server.
Try disabling automatically check out for "Editing" from "VS\Tools\Options\Source Control\Environment\Editing". Set the option to "Do nothing".

I want to pop up an alert when someone tries to check out a project/file that is already checked out by someone else on TFS, Visual Studio 2012.
Let's say I checked out a file and let others to check out but prevent from check in. When someone else tried to check out same file, pop up should inform them about my checkout, but they can still checkout and try some changes. I searched the web but couldn't find a solution for that.
I know we can look for current checkouts form VS console with tf status command, but I'm looking for something visual when they tried to check out.
One way to achieve this is to use a version control system such as Git or TFS (Team Foundation Server) that supports file locking. In TFS, you can use the "tf lock" command to lock a file so that only you can check it out. When someone else tries to check out the locked file, they will receive an error message telling them that the file is locked.
Another way is to create a script or program that periodically checks the status of the files in the repository and displays a pop-up message if a file is already checked out by someone else. This script can be run on the client side as a background process or on the server side as a service.
You can use the TFS API to check for check-out status and trigger the alert accordingly.
It's also worth noting that some integrated development environments (IDEs) such as Visual Studio have built-in functionality for displaying file lock status, so you may want to check if the functionality is available in your chosen IDE before implementing a custom solution.
I use Team Foundation Server for Source Control and in my Visual Studio I unckeckd the Option: "Multiple Check Out".
But when I check out a file and modify it another user can still check out the same file and also modify it.
What went wrong??
If you have to look at this issue then you are probably not checking in enough. Its a workflow and not tool change that is required.
TFS only supports the single checkout model if all users are using Server Workspaces. The default changed in 2012 to Local Workspaces which does not support this.

My issue is that I cannot select a build process template after migrating to TFS/VS2012.
I managed to google and find one article which suggest the same problem here,
Possible Bug
Any ideas how I can get the dropdown to load the Build Process Templates or why they may not be getting loaded?
Also, I am able to click New->Copy Template, and copy successfully, but it never populates the dropdown list after accepting.
Possibly the same issue
I recently ran into the same problem but not related to upgrading the server. We were not able to see build process templates when trying to add a new build definition. We are in TFS 2012. This team project also appeared not to have any build definitions. That was expected though because we had not yet used the TFS builds on this team project.
The problem was caused by someone with admin rights setting the "View build definition" and the "View Builds" access rights to Deny for everyone.
By just setting that back to allow on the TFS group, we suddenly could see the build definitions and also were able to select build process templates.
It was really strange that it let us add new build process templates, but we couldn't select them.
Sooo...
I was finally able to get the templates loading by doing the following.
Unmapped the entire TFS project which had been mapped in a sub folder and not at the root.
Deleted files from disk completely
Remapped the TFS project, this time from the root TFS project level
Accepted the "get"
After doing this my build definitions loaded and worked. (Seems to be a mapping issue...bug...)
This may be an extream solution and I am still not sure what happened but it now works.
I've been developing a new SharePoint 2010 package in Visual Studio 2010. This is my first development project in SharePoint so please pardon my use of incorrect terminology.
Within the package/solution there are a couple of Features, a couple of custom web forms, and a workflow for the custom list type which is also within the solution.
To develop and debug I've been simply using the Build > Deploy Solution option from within Visual Studio to build the solution and then it would automatically connect to my sharepoint server and create the custom List, install the features, add the workflow, etc.
But when I want to make a change, say change the color of the text on the custom NewForm (mine is called MyCustomForm.ascx) then I click Build > Deploy Solution it deletes the custom list, deletes the workflow, deactivates and deletes the features and then re adds them all again. Thus I lose all of my list items.
In production if I need to modify the workflow I can't simply do this as we would lose all of our list items. How can I do this?
I've done days worth of research and nothing works. I've looked into:
stsadm -o upgradesolution -name SharePointProject1.wsp -filename ...
stsadm.exe -o execadmsvcjobs
with no avail. It says everything "works" fine (no errors) but doesn't update the custom MyCustomForm.
I've also tried manually editing the files in:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES
to no avail as well. I modify the MyCustomForm.ascx file and refresh the SharePoint site page and it hasn't changed.
Any insight would be helpful. I am doing all development on the server machine that is running SharePoint and have admin access if that helps. Thank you in advance for all of your help.
The list is deleted because the solution package that you're deploying has the list item in it so Visual Studio is "helping" by making sure that you get the lastest version of everything (even it it hasn't changed)
There are two approaches you can take to over-ride this behaviour
Set the deployment model to "No Activataion" this will result in the package being deployed and leaving previously deployed and activated feature in place.
Remove the list instance item from the package by double clicking on the Package in the Solution Explorer and then double clicking on the List Instance Item in the right hand pane.
Next time re-deploy the solution you not should have your existing list removed (I'm not 100% on the workflow association behaviour).
Of the two I'd lean towards option 2
I just deployed a website into IIS 7 (about which I am woefully ignorant), and upon trying to build the site, I receive this error. I did a little googleing and I saw an article that said I should put system.web.extensions.dll into the /bin. But, I also saw an article saying not to do that. I tried it anyway, but I just received a different error ('Resource cannot be found').
I am totally clueless as to what else to try
Can you use the "Publish" command in Visual Studio to publish directly to the site? If not, then use that command to publish to a similar site on your machine, then copy it to the customer site.
You should also look into the IIS Web Deployment Tool. It can copy an entire site, including IIS settings and any databases. It will be built into VS2010.
Go to control panel, then programs, turn windows features on or off, scroll down to Microsoft.net framework 3.5.1 expand, make sure both sub options are selected, this might help your issue.
