TFS: Change MS Project Field mapping

One of the nice features of TFS is it’s integration with MS Project. However I always forget how to update the Field Mapping between MS Project and TFS.

So as a quick reminder:

1. Download the MS Project field mapping file from TFS:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE>tfsfieldmapping download /collection:”http://serverName:8080/tfs/collectionname” /teamproject:”teamprojectname” /mappingfile:”c:\fieldmapping.xml”

2. Update and save fieldmapping.xml

3. Upload the MS Project field mapping file to TFS:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE>tfsfieldmapping upload /collection:”http://serverName:8080/tfs/collectionname” /teamproject:”teamprojectname” /mappingfile:”c:\fieldmapping.xml”

VS Code Planning mode

After the introduction of Plan mode in Visual Studio , it now also found its way into VS Code. Planning mode, or as I like to call it 'Hannibal mode', extends GitHub Copilot's Agent Mode capabilities to handle larger, multi-step coding tasks with a structured approach. Instead of jumping straight into code generation, Planning mode creates a detailed execution plan. If you want more details, have a look at my previous post . Putting plan mode into action VS Code takes a different approach compared to Visual Studio when using plan mode. Instead of a configuration setting that you can activate but have limited control over, planning is available as a separate chat mode/agent: I like this approach better than how Visual Studio does it as you have explicit control when plan mode is activated. Instead of immediately diving into execution, the plan agent creates a plan and asks some follow up questions: You can further edit the plan by clicking on ‘Open in Editor’: ...
