According to this page, Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate contain Team Foundation Server 2010. This mean we don't need to download and install TFS 2010 separately? If, yes can anyone tell me how to set up tfs 2010 with Visual Studio 2010 ULTIMATE.
Is Team Foundation Server 2010 available with Visual Studio 2010 ULTIMATE

Check out this article 'Connecting VS2008 to any TFS2010 Project Collection'.
The only catch here is that the author didn't mention that you need to install/reinstall Service Pack 1 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 (Installer)' for Visual Studio 2008 after installing Team Explorer 2008. This will take care of the invalid characters error message when trying to connect.
TFS has a "Reconcile" command for this:
- Open the Source Control Explorer
- Right-click on the folder with the changes and choose Compare
- Select the files you want to reconcile (press CTRL+A to select all files)
- Click on the Reconcile button
- Set the options in the Reconcile Folder Differences dialog. Make sure Files that do not have pending changes is set to Check Out
- Click OK
- If you have local changes the Check Out dialog will be shown. Set the preferred Lock type
- Click Check Out

You still need to download and install Team Foundation Server, if you plan to use the Team Foundation integration that exists in Visual Studio. Installing Team Foundation Server is rather straight forward (Microsoft Wizard like), but you need to point it at an existing SQL Server instance and thus need to make sure you have a server available for use.
It's recommended that you install Team Foundation on a separate server, that's not running the database but this is in no way mandatory.
