Connect Visual Studio 2010 Professional to TFS

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?

Can Visual Studio community connect to TFS?

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:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=fe4f9904-0480-4c9d-a264-02fedd78ab38

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
