Can VS2005 Express/Standard/Professional Edition integrate with TFS? How? <br /><br />Can other IDEs like Eclipse use TFS for source control?<br /><br />In order to publish a project&nbsp;to a web portal, any other licenses are required? SharePoint? Or TFS includes everything the web publishing needs?<br /><br />© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.

Assuming you mean the Sharepoint Services-based Project Portals which are created for each team project, you don't need additional licenses.&nbsp; Non-TFS users can manage documents, view reports, etc. without additional licenses.&nbsp; If you plan to extend TFS and the project portal (or and other web interface) to allow, for example, bug entry via the web, you will need additional licenses.&nbsp; Apparently internal users need the standard CAL (which would also allow access to Team Explorer) and external users would be licensed through a connector license.&nbsp; Please review the licensing docs and/or talk with your MS-rep before taking this as the absolute truth.Mon, 31 Oct 2005 10:05:08 Z2005-10-31T10:05:08Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsgeneral/thread/c1a7144e-9b1d-4340-9e7d-1c7fd1334adc#7c8f2b63-f86b-4fcd-9484-a6a5a7f7c06bhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsgeneral/thread/c1a7144e-9b1d-4340-9e7d-1c7fd1334adc#7c8f2b63-f86b-4fcd-9484-a6a5a7f7c06brternierhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=rternier<p>Dave,</p> <p>Does the TEam Explorer have a user interface?</p> <p>I installed it (without Visual Studio installed) and I never got anything that would let me access TFS.</p>Wed, 07 Jun 2006 19:51:05 Z2006-06-07T19:51:05Zhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsgeneral/thread/c1a7144e-9b1d-4340-9e7d-1c7fd1334adc#913789fa-770e-4abb-96b2-59bf2122db92http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsgeneral/thread/c1a7144e-9b1d-4340-9e7d-1c7fd1334adc#913789fa-770e-4abb-96b2-59bf2122db92Richard Berghttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=Richard%20BergIf you install Team Explorer on a box w/o any other Visual Studio, it should create a VS icon / start menu group.  If all else fails, run devenv.exe.<br>Wed, 07 Jun 2006 20:20:24 Z2006-06-07T20:20:24Z
