Visual Studio 6 (VC6) connects to Team Foundation Server (TFS 2018) for source code version management

Overview

Visual Studio 6 (VB6, VC6, Foxpro ...) Microsoft launched a Windows platform-based software development tool in 1998 and Microsoft introduced it. NET Development framework before the last IDE tool.

In the era of Windows leading the desktop, VS6 developed applications deep into all walks of life in the IT world, even as VS6 launched 20 later, we also saw many companies continue to use VS6 to update their applications or software products.

Since it is a software development tool, it is necessary to have its own code management program. How to integrate code management tools in an IDE environment to improve the convenience of code management is something that developers now seem to be accustomed to. But today, 20 years ago, because of the level of development and tool limitations, versioning of software code is not something that all research and development teams can do. Even the visual Studio 6 tools themselves, there is no native integrated code management capabilities, need to install two external plug-ins, or use third-party tools, to implement the code version management.

20 years later, with the improvement of software research and development, software development theory and practice, Microsoft software platform tools have undergone tremendous changes. As the core product of the Visual Studio family, Team Foundation Server (TFS) has released the 2018 release, which integrates Microsoft's extensive experience in software development management and agile development in recent years, is the overall solution for Microsoft Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and devops (development and Operations integration platform).

Fortunately, with the upgrading of the Visual Studio Family Development tools, Microsoft did not abandon this product 20 years ago, Microsoft TFS Product Development Group provides integrated VS 6 and TFS 2018 Integration solution, and this solution can be applied to TFS 2017/2015/2013 Version of/2012/2010.

Following the integration of VS6 and TFS2018, I will give you a technical explanation by following the operation instructions.
