Quick Tip:
One important thing to remember when creating TFS projects from Visual Studio, is that including a period (".") in the project name will cause the project creation to fail. MSDN simply states that a period cannot be at the beginning or the end. I have experienced failures including a period at all.
More tips on TFS naming restrictions are available on MSDN.
