I cant seem to get it to work

I tried http://<myMachineName>:8080/tfs/ as well as http://localhost:8080/tfs/

It cant seem to find my team project. My project name is "TestProject1" the server name is e6400win7\SfTFS Collection. My url http://localhost:8080/tfs/

goes straight to this collection. When I inspect the line in the tool code: Project proj = store.Projects (line 56) I get a project count of zero. I have two projects in my collection Any ideas? Perhaps I go the nameing convention wrong when specifying the path to my project TestProject1.

Abid,

As "TFS Collection URI" you need to type something like localhost/.../<CollectionName>

(in your case http://e6400win78080/tfs/SfTFS Collection)

Note: if you do not explicitly specify a collection name in the URL, the default collection will be used, which - in your case - obviously has no team projects.

The "Team Project" then would be just "TestProject1".
