Connecting to Codeplex - TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server
If you are trying to get to codeplex from VS2008 and are getting error below then you need to install the Visual Studio Team System 2008 Service Pack 1 Forward Compatibility Update for Team Foundation Server 2010
You then use the full URL https://tfs.codeplex.com/tfs/TFSXX when connecting to codeplex
