Umbraco Development Setup Visual Studio

I am a new developer for Umbraco. I am having problem setting up my Visual Studio 2010 as a developer platform for umbraco 4.5.x with TFS and between remote teams.

My current setup is to open the whole umbraco site in Visual studio and tideup with TFS. Obeviusly this means that som开发者_如何转开发e of the files and folders gets locked up when commiting to Source control. Problem is this causes the problem when running umbraco as umbraco tried to write to certain files.

Any idea what type of typical setup would be like for VS 2010 and umbraco?

thanks, Preyash

I made a VS2010 umbraco project template, that configures the commands used to copy files to the umbraco folder on build, like described in the above link.

Is it mandatory to use TFS as your version control?

We have used Mercurial and Visual svn server as version controls in our projects.

In this i feel Mercurial as more comfortable for Umbraco projects.
