Connecting Team Explorer to Codeplex anonymously

I was using Codeplex and tried connecting to their source control using Team Explorer, with no joy.

I also tried connecting with HTTPS or HTTP, using the server name and the project name. As I do not have a user account on Codeplex I could not login.

I am just trying to check out some code without changing it. My question is:

How can I connect Team Explorer to a Codeplex server anonymously?

Solution

  • I think you have to use the CodePlex Source Control Client. In includes cpc.exe which supports the anonymous access features of CodePlex TFS servers for non-coordinator/developer access. But according to the site:

    The CodePlex Client is not currently being maintained. The focus of the CodePlex team now is on the SvnBridge.

    I'm using TortoiseSVN with SvnBridge with no problems.
