How to connect to TFS2012 from VS2005

Hi All,

I am using VS2005 for my development purpose. Till now we were using TFS2010 for source control which we could connect using a compatibility patch. However, now we are planning to move to TFS2012.

Looks like TFS2012 and VS2005 are not compatible.

I did try to use MSSCCI provider at below location -

But it didn't work. It started giving error

'Text' is an invalid xmlNodeType. Line 1, position 825.

I did try to follow an article at web for above error -

But this didn't solve the prob either.

I could see the project hierarchi but the workspace info was not available and I couldn't do any functionality (checkin/checkout).

Moreover the project loaded doesn't come under source control binding.

How can we solve these? Any step - by- step directions will help.
