Opening Source Control Explorer in Visual Studio 2022

Question

Source Control Explorer is what I have used in the past to manage my Team Foundation version control (TFVC).

In Visual Studio 2019 (and earlier verions), you could open Source Control Explorer by navigating to View | Other Windows | Source Control Explorer. However, this window can't be found here in VS2022.

Has this functionality been completely removed or is there still a way to access Source Control Explorer using Visual Studio 2022?

Answer 1

Follow these steps to add the TFS server:

• Manage Connections -> Connect to a project option in Team Explorer (use View -> Team Explorer if not available) and connect to the project.
• Click Add Azure DevOps Server, input the TFS server URL and choose Add.
• Then the list of projects you have access to will be listed below, so select a project and connect.

Then the Source control menu option will be made available in the usual place View | Other Windows | Source Control Explorer.

These are the steps for Visual Studio Professional 2022

Use Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2022 only when Visual studio Developer is not installed.
