If I buy TFS will it covers the visual studio 2012 functionalities such as creating projects, build , compile. Or TFS it is mainly a support service to VS to give VS more collaboration and management control? Best Regards
TFS (Team Foundation Server) is a tool for the Application Lyfecycle Management (ALM) process.
It delivers the features such as:
Version Control
Requirements Management
Build Automation
Test Case Management
It enables full integration with Visual Studio IDE and gives the collaboration and management features in use for a team's ALM process.
So basically, Visual Studio is the development platform while TFS is the enhancer and collaborator for multiple instaces of Developers, Testers, Analyzers and vice versa.
TFS don't have the abilities like: development, creating projects.

I am using the latest Preview version of Visual Studio Enterprise 2019 (16.0.0 Preview 1.1), and I was wondering if I can develop Logic Apps (Logic App Designer) and Function Apps in this version of Visual Studio. To be precise I am trying to use this Extension Azure Logic Apps Tools for Visual Studio.
I am unable to find this extension in Tools -> Extensions and Updates.
Is the extension specifically only for Visual Studio 2017?
I would say you're right, we don't see Azure Logic Apps Tools for Visual Studio in VS2019 preview, because the extension is restricted for VS2017(as described in its Pre-requisites). I assume the upgrade work is underway since it's expected that a preview edition doesn't include everything we need.
For Azure Functions, the extension is built-in once we install Azure Development workload. On VS2019 menus, Help> About Microsoft Visual Studio, we can see Azure Functions and Web Jobs Tools 16.0.01169.
I have a developer working in Linux. He is developing html5 stuff that needs to be checked in to my project instance in Visual Studio Team System.
What kind of tools should he use to accomplish this?
You can use Team Explorer Everywhere which is an add-in for Eclipse that can connect to Visual Studio Team System (formerly known as Visual Studio Online) or Team Foundation Server. From there you can check-in code and use many other features of VSTS.
I am completely newbie to TFS. Need some help on Migration. We have a VS TFS 2015 and the requirement is to move a certain code with history and all the work items from current VS TFS 2015 to new VS TFS 2015. How can I achieve this. Any pointers will be of great help.
Just additional info. The current VS TFS 2015 was build by us on Azure and the new one is provisioned through Azure SAAS.
We don't widely support (as of August 3, 2016) importing your data from Team Foundation Server to Visual Studio Team Services. However, we have been working on a full-fidelity data import utility that will let you do this. It's currently in Private Preview and we're testing it out with a handful of customers at the moment. We've also shared some details with our Microsoft MVPs so if you have an MVP that is helping you, they will be able to help you migrate.
Feel free to vote on this User Voice item and we'll keep everyone updated there on our progress: Import data from TFS On-Premises
Tip: When the TFS to VSTS Data Import utility does become available, you'll want to make sure your TFS server is upgraded to the latest version of TFS including the latest update. At the moment, that would be Team Foundation Server 2015 Update 3.
You can use OpsHub Visual Studio Online Migration Utility.
OpsHub Visual Studio Migration Utility : Supports migration of source
code and work items from TFS 2010, TFS 2012, TFS 2013, and TFS 2015 to
Visual Studio Team Services.
This is a (very) long shot, but I was wondering if its possible to deploy from Visual Studio Team Services to a website that is hosted on Rackspace?
Thanks

I have used TeamCity (by JetBeans) and CruiseControl.NET to deploy web sites. They both work with TFS (and Git).
ThoughtWorks has released "Go" into open source; it, too, allows builds and deployments.
I can only guess -- but would be confident -- that Visual Studio Team Services will work with any of those products.

I would like to create a visual DSL (boxes and arrows). I have found that I can create such a DSL using Microsoft's Visualization and modeling SDK (DSL Tools sequel, for VS2010) and there is also a lab on the subject. However, that would require Visual Studio 2010 to host my designer once I have created my DSL.
Is there any way to not require Visual Studio? With Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), it is possible to host a workflow designer in your own application, so it shouldn't be impossible.
Suggestions of other approaches are also welcome.
You cannot host a DSL design surface in a standard Windows Forms/WPF application.
However, you can create your own application built on top of the Visual Studio Isolated Shell to host your DSL. The Storyboard Designer sample is an example of hosting a DSL in an isolated shell (although built on the VS 2008 Shell).
