Additional Information:
In order to use Toad’s Team Foundation Server support, you need to have Team Foundation Server (TFS) installed on your network. Please review Microsoft's documentation for instructions on installing and configuring TFS.
Team Coding includes two methods for interfacing directly with Team Foundation Server: an internal client and an external client. Each client implementation has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. Whichever one you choose will depend upon your environment and your specific needs. Please see your Team Foundation Server administrator before configuring it in Toad.
Option | Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|---|
Internal TFS Client Uses Microsoft’s Web Services API to directly communicate with Team Foundation Server. This internal client supports Team Foundation Server 2005 and 2008. |
Improved speed (over the external client) No need to install additional software on the client machine |
Does not include support for Check-in Policy items Certain administrative tasks, like deleting workspaces are not supported |
External TFS Client Uses Microsoft’s command-line Team Foundation client to communicate with Team Foundation Server. This command-line client is included with Microsoft Team Explorer, and should remain consistent throughout versions. |
Expected compatibility with future versions of Team Foundation Server Supports all features of Team Foundation Server, including Check-in Policies |
Much slower than the internal client since an instance of the external client is launched for each TFS command issued to the server Requires the installation of Microsoft Team Explorer |
