TFS2012 - Sharepoint "project plan" is not linked to any work items - sharepoint

I'm quite new with TFS, I'm trying to get our department to use it (and not VSS2005).
I have created a project, user stories and work items.
I'm now playing with the sharepoint portal and have added a "List" which looks like Microsoft Project. I would've thought it would link to all the existing work items and show them, but it is blank.
What am I missing?

I sugegst you to access Team Explorer, click on Team Project Settings and Project Portal Settings. Project Portal is not enabled. Click on Enable team project portal.
Specify your SharePoint Site credentials and click on OK.

Team project is not deleted completely from Azure DevOps

I created a project called Energy2 in Azure DevOps. Then I deleted it by going to Organization Settings, selecting Projects tab which is selected by default, the using ... menu of Energy2 and choosing Delete and then confirming by typing project's name.
However, it encountered an error and I don't remember the error since I closed the window.
Now the problem is that it's gone in the Azure DevOps web portal, but it's not gone from the list of team projects in Source Control Explorer of Team Explorer window in Visual Studio.
Do you know of any other option that I can solve this?

Deploy Office AddIn to SharePoint on-premises environment

I am developing with Word Web AddIn by Office.js. Now I want to publish it to my on-premises environment.
After check Deploy and publish your Office Add-in, it seems only SharePoint catalog supports SharePoint on-premises. But for this docuemnt, it shared the steps for Sharepoint Online instead of premises.
Interesting. It seems that when Microsoft renamed "apps for Office" and "apps for SharePoint" to "Office Add-ins" and "SharePoint Add-ins", the UI of SharePoint Central Administration was not changed. But whoever wrote that second article that you linked to thought that it had been changed. (Or maybe it was, but your SharePoint on-premise doesn't have an up-to-date build.) I think that when you get to step 2 of the article you linked to, you will find an "Apps" on the left side of the page instead of a "Add-ins". So just follow the directions in that article but in your mind replace "Add-in" with "App" in all the steps.
Another possibility is this article I found. Try using this, if the suggestion above doesn't work: Manage the App Catalog in SharePoint Server.

Connecting a mvc 5 application to ACS in Azure?

Does anyone know how to connect an MVC 5 application in Visual Studio 2013 to an Azure Access Control Service(ACS)? In Visual Studio 2012 it's possible to do this in Identity and Access Tool, but there is no such in Visual Studio 2013.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide,
/Steve
Unfortunately, there's no way that I know of to add authentication to a VS2013 project after you've created it, but you can add it on project creation.
Create an ASP.NET project and then click "Change Authentication" when it prompts you to select a template.
You then want to choose "Organizational Accounts" and choose "On-Premises" from the drop-down menu. I know ACS isn't what you were normally think of as "on-premises" but that's what you want. Then enter your metadata document URL. You can leave the other spot blank or fill it in if you want. The metadata document URL is the FederationMetadata.xml file found in the ACS management portal under "Application integration."
Once you set that up, you may need to adjust your Web.config audience URLs to make everything match what you have in the Azure ACS.
Encountered the same problem. Was always returned back to "Configure Authentication". So I tried creating a new user in Azure Active Directory and made it a global administrator with the type New user in your organization. I tried the new user account and it worked. Hope this helps you also.
You can create the project in VS2013 as desired. Then open it in VS 2012 where you have access to the "Identity and Access Tool" extension (if you installed it). I tried this with VS2013 Asp.Net Web Application Template. You need to select "Enable web farm ready cookies" to make this work with Azure ACS. It would be better if this wizard worked in 2013 - but it does work this way.
I also found this post for doing it right in 2013
http://gauravmantri.com/2014/03/19/using-windows-azure-access-control-service-in-mvc-5-application-using-visual-studio-2013/. However the 2012 wizard is definitely easier.
Not sure if this could help but you may have a look at this:

Get TFS URL in Portal Site

I have created a Team Project in TFS 2010 and the Project Portal in SharePoint 2010.
Now I need to create a WebPart to deploy in the SharePoint Site (Project portal) that connects to the TFS to get some information.
Where I can get the TFS Url that is associated with the Project Portal in SharePoint?
Any clues?
Thanks in advance.
The url of TFS is not stored in the Project Portal. It is the other way round. In TFS the WSS url is stored.
TfsRedirect can be used to determine the TFS Web Access URL from within SharePoint. Although it's not exactly what you want, and it's a little hacky - you can pass the parameter tf:Test=1 to get the TFS team project that is associated with the site that your web part is being displayed on.
See John Socha-Leialoha's blog post on Using TfsRedirect to Display Reports in TFS 2010 Dashboards
What is TfsRedirect?
Here’s the scenario. You had TFS create a dashboard site in SharePoint
when you created your team project (or you added it later as described
here). There are several items on this dashboard that point to other
locations that are potentially on other servers:
Team Web Access
Process Guidance
Reports shown on the dashboard pages
TFS itself know where to find these assets. And the locations can
change if, for example, the TFS administrator moves the reports to a
different server.
Rather than hard-code the locations of these assets into the
dashboard, the TFS team created a web page called TfsRedirect.aspx
that knows where these different assets are located, and will redirect
to that page.
Shouldn't you be able to go in to TFS2010 -> Team Explorer -> Right-Click on your Team Project -> Portal Settings?

Unable to Deploy PerformancePoint Dashboard Page to SharePoint 2007

I'm creating a PerformancePoint (henceforth PP) Dashboard that contains a web report to be deployed to the a SharePoint web application that I had created. I followed the instruction in the link below.
Deploy a PerformancePoint dashboard to a SharePoint site
In summary, following the instructions in the link, I published the Dashboard to the PP site. Then, I added my account in PP as Creator in the Application level, Editor in both the Dashboard and the Web Report. In the SharePoint site, I added my account under Contributor. I even added the PerformancePointDefault.master just to be sure.
Now, when I deploy my Dashboard to a Report Library, I was able deploy the folder for the Dashboard, but not the Dashboard Page file.
I googled for this, but I could not find any article helpful.
UPDATE 2009-09-30:
I was able to resolve the issue by creating another site collection. Maybe the first site collection is messed up.
I had the EXACT same problem. I was about to take the best advice I could find and delete my site collection and create a new one from scratch, but by the grace of God, I had one final thought.
In our case, the site created was originally http://ServerName but we later added a host header (i.e. http://BiSite). I had been deploying the dashboard using the host header the entire time, so I decided to try using the original name of the site using the server name and viola, the dashboard finally deployed correctly, pages and all.
When you publish a dashboard in MOSS, you have to make sure that you select Publish a Major Version in the dashboard page's drop-down in the report library.
Why is this a community wiki? Seems like there should be a right answer to this question...
