Administration of the Account and Project Security etc.

Click the below gear Icon for account Administration screen

 

Creating a new project on the cloud/TF Service.

 

SCRUM 3.0 Template was used , so you see as below. There are other templates you can use as above screenshot.

 

 

 

 

Connecting via Visual Studio 2010

Team à Connect to Team Foundation Server à  Servers à Add <cloud server https://.youraccount..com>

Then Select Server

You will notice the above project created on the service/cloud is shown

You will see your solution/project in the Team Explorer and can use source control

 

Once you add the code in the visual studio you can browse online as well.

 

I found Chrome was better than IE8 for this views to support. Chrome has better html5 support. But IE10 in Windows8 works perfectly.

 

You can see Code History/Annotation blocks/Compare
