Default Visual Source Safe -> Source Control in Team Foundation

Visual Source Safe -> Source Control in Team Foundation

I want to migrate an existing project from VSS to TFSs source control. Any idees on how to acomplish that?

Is there a client that is not integrated into Visual Studio (command prompt etc) that one could use to access the TFS source control?

Hi,

I.Migrate VSS project
1) Open the project.

2) Remove the bindings (File -> Source Control -> Change Source
Control).

3) Connect to TFS.

4) Add to Source Control (same File menu, or Solution Explorer
context menu).

II.Yes

1) Visual Studio Command Prompt -> tf.exe

2) MSSCCI plugin for old versions of VS and many other IDEs

3)3rd party clients: TeamPrise, TeamPlain, and more on the way

One step is missing in arjkhanna's reply.

After unbinding SourceSafe and before binding TF, you need to change the Source Control Provider from SourceSafe to Team Foundation. To do this, choose menu Tools->Options, and select Source Control in the left side tree and select the right provider.

Thanks.
