Visual Studio 2010 Team Explorer

Question

I just installed VS2010 and I want to connect to TFS, But I don't have any team explorer options.

I searched for Team Explorer and I found this link that states that Team Explorer comes preinstalled in VS2010 Team Suit.

I downloaded VS2010 Pro and don't have team explorer and can't find it anywhere.

Any ideas? Tips?

Thanks

Answer 1

I think there's been a misunderstanding down MS naming conventions.

All versions of Visual Studio 2010 have the ability to conenct to TFS built in, there is no longer a separate install (what was previously called Team Explorer).

What the Ultimate edition gets with what is now called Team Explorer (codename Eaglestone) is a standalone rich client for accessing TFS.

Answer 2

If you downloaded VS2010 Pro...you didn't download a version that came with Team Explorer. You need to re-download VS2010 Team System. You can grab it from MSDN or download it from:

UPDATE

As of Beta 2, Microsoft renamed versions a little. TFS Connectivity is now included with 'Ultimate'.
