WiqAdmin is a command line utility to administer work item queries for TFS 2008 and TFS 2010. I just released a new version with the following new features:
You can download the 1.1.1.0 release for TFS 2008 and TFS 2010 here : http://wiqadmin.codeplex.com/releases/view/90663

Next release will support TFS 2012.

A small post to inform you that Microsoft released a standalone installer for the Team Foundation Server 2010 SP1 client Object Model API! You can found it on the Visual Studio Gallery here:
http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/a37e19fb-3052-4fc9-bef7-4a4682069a75
Before this installer, if you wanted to develop an application that interacts with TFS you needed to install Team Explorer to have those few needed DLLs… this isn’t the cas anymore Of course licencing doesn’t change and your user will still need a TFS CAL.
A TFS 2012 version will be available with the RTM.

With the previous versions of TFS you could customized the buil summary from TeamBuild by developing Visual Studio add-in and deploy is on every computer. This was not simple and it was simplified in Visual Studio 2012 / Team Foundation Server 2012
Everything is done with the new standard TeamBuild activity WriteCustomSummaryInformation:
Since last night Microsoft has release the Release Candidate of it’s new Visual Studio products. Microsoft has also given the product final name, we will now talk about Visual Studio 2012 and Team Foundation Server 2012 (Who would have though :)).

If not, you can go to the Visual Studio website and download the web installer:
I’ll come back in a later post on what was added since beta. The most visible even without installing it is the new logo
You will be happy to know that Microsoft has listen to the user feedback and reintroduced some color in the UI

I got several time questions about how rollback are done with Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2010; instead of repeating myself i’ve decided to write a post
Note : although the screenshots are done under Visual Studio 11, the principals are the same with Visual Studio 2010..
In TFS when doing a rollback or cancel a changeset you will get a new version of your file or files with an Edit status:
The edit will then be visible in the history after doing a checkin. (you will the be able to rollback your rollback )
Update 08/25/2014: corrected output of rollback 22, thanks B€N
Good news, the next version of Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server are coming in Beta with a Go Live licence on February 29th (the same date that the Windows 8 consumer preview ).
Here is a list of the products which where announced for Visual Studio 11:
Compared to the 2010 line we have two new additions. The first, Team Foundation Server Express is a free edition of TFS with the following limitations:
