I've written a couple of blog posts on this subject before and thought it would  be nice to consolidate them into one big post now that Visual Studio 2013 is about to be released. There are 3 major things to consider when connecting to TFS from an older version of Visual Studio.
  • The version of TFS you want to connect to
  • The version of Visual Studio you're connecting from
  • The version of Windows you're running
In this blog post:

    Configuring the MSSCCI provider for Visual Studio

    To use the MSSCCI provider in Visual Studio you must make sure you have the correct Source Control provider selected. In your version of Visual Studio go to Tools, Options, Source Control and select the MSSCCI provider:

    Then go to File, Source Control to open a project from source control.

    You won't be able to trigger builds or access work items using the version of Visual Studio you are now using. Instead you must start Team Explorer 2010 or higher to interact with these features from Visual Studio.

    When you use Visual Studio 2012 or higher to configure your Version Control mappings, you need to make sure you select a "Server Workspace".


    Connecting from Visual Studio 2005, 2008 or the MSSCCI provider

    To connect to Visual Studio 2010 or higher from an older version of Visual Studio, you need to use a different URI format to add your server. Before Visual Studio 2010 was released, there was no such thing as a Project Collection.

    Instead of the now standard format:
    On-premise: http[s]://{yourserver}[:{port}]?/tfs/
    Team Foundation Service: https://{yourprofile}.visualstudio.com/ 
    You need to add the Project Collection to the URI, so that it becomes:

    On-premise: http[s]://{yourserver}[:{port}]/tfs/{ProjectCollection}
    Team Foundation Service: https://{yourprofile}.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection

    Otherwise you will get the following error message:
    TF30335: The server name cannot contain the characters '/' or ':', or start with 'http://' or 'https://'
