I like it a lot. How about Borland (CodeGear) Delphi? I am using Delphi for the past 10 years now, and since I could not see a near end to this I had to connect these two development environments together. How do we do that? read at http://blog2.tikotzki.com How do you like Team Foundation Server? I like it a lot.

I thought there's a good reason for using the out of process COM server.. thanks for clarifying that. I'll wait for the next update and if I find anything else, I'll post in the forums.

Rather than try to remove the .NET 2.0 dependencies, we opted to run the TFS pieces in a separate process. We will investigate the window update issue to see if we can improve this behavior. 2) This is a bug that we will fix for the next revision of the plugin. I posted a workaround (with a caveat) at: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=342239&#38;SiteID=1&#38;mode=1 3) We completely missed that. I will file a bug, and we will resolve that for the next version. 4) We did catch this behavior late in the v1.0 cycle. My coworker, Michal Malecki, showed me a fix for this last Friday (even as v1.0 was being reposted to the download site). This fix will go out in the next version and will have a single dialog where the server path and local path are specified (very similiar to the Open From SCC and Add Solution to SCC dialogs in VS 2005 TFS). There is another part of the Open From SCC experience that is a little confusing. That is that the dialog asking you to choose the server path mentions in its caption that you are choosing where to "store" the project. This is obviously only correct for the Add to SCC scenario.
