Error TF249051 using TFS 2008, VS 2012 and Windows 8 - visual-studio-2012

Question

I have a Addin for Visual Studio, that connect to TFS 2008 server. I use VS 2012 in Windows 7 and Windows 8 (and 8.1).
No problem using my Addin, VS 2012 and Windows 7. All is OK.
But there is authentication issue using My Addin, VS 2012 and Windows 8.
Anyway, if I use Team Explorer and Source Control in VS 2012, there's no problem.
I get the following error:
TF249051: No URL can be found that corresponds to the following server
name: myTFS_server. Verify that the server name is correct.

Any suggestions about it?

Answer 1

My Addin will have to make use of a bindingRedirect to redirect all versions to from v10 to v11.
For example:
<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation"
publicKeyToken="xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.0.0.0"
newVersion="11.0.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client"
publicKeyToken="xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.0.0.0"
newVersion="11.0.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
Make sure to update the publicKeyToken to the correct value.
Note:
Specific version does not work if the assembly is strong name signed.
Microsoft almost certainly strong-name signed their assembly.
