Is it possible to connect Visual Studio 2010 Professional edition to TFS (project hosted on Codeplex)?
This states, it is not included in Professional edition: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products
However, for VS 2008, there was separate download of Team Explorer and it was posible also for Professional version.
Is this changed for VS 2010?
From the Visual Studio Tools menu, select Options, then select Source Control > Plug-in Selection. Select Visual Studio Team Foundation Server. For Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, enter the name and port number for the Azure DevOps Proxy Server. Select Use SSL encryption (https) to connect.
Open Visual Studio 2010, click on the Team menu and then click on the Connect to Team Foundation Server... option. From the Connect to Team Project window that opens, click the Servers... button.
Team Explorer connects Visual Studio 2019 and earlier to Team Foundation version control (TFVC) repositories, and to projects hosted on Azure DevOps Services or an on-premises Azure DevOps Server (formerly known as Team Foundation Server, or TFS). You can manage source code, work items, and builds.
Team Explorer is included in most editions of Visual Studio 2010. Try going to the View menu and if Team Explorer is listed then you have it installed.
If you do need to download Team Explorer then you can do so from here:

Note that TFS is licensed on a per-user basis on people connecting to the server needing to be covered by a Client Access License (CAL). If you have Visual Studio without an MSDN subscription then you also need to purchase a TFS CAL to be licensed to use TFS. (A new benefit of MSDN Subscriptions with the Visual Studio 2010 release is that all levels now include a TFS CAL as well as a full TFS license)

The TFS client is included with most editions (Professional & above). No separate install. See http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonba/archive/2010/02/11/team-explorer-is-included-in-visual-studio-2010.aspx
