When connecting Visual Studio 2008 to TFS2010 you must have the following update installed “Visual Studio Team System 2008 Forward Compatibility Update for Team Foundation Server 2010 interoperability”
If you are using “Local Database Cache functionality in Smart
Device projects” the “Microsoft Synchronization Services for ADO.NET 1.0 for Devices” must also be installed.
The Visual Studio 2008 SP1 is a required prerequisite to install the above updates.
After installing you must use the complete Url to the TFS2010 Server, and leave out the trailing slash. if the URL contans a trailing slash a message “Unable to switch servers at this time. Team Explorer is busy.” will appear several times. And end in a dialog box with the message “Error in the application”
