Team Foundation Error: Type ‘Microsoft.TeamFoundation.ClientBasicAuthCredential’ is not marked as serializable

If you are getting this when trying to run a build in TFS or when trying to edit a build definition, you only need to reset your credentials. Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > Manage Windows Credentials > In tab Generic Credentials, find the one for your TFS server and edit the credentials. If that doesn’t work, try removing the credential.
Thanks! You’ve got the only result in Google that was relevant and it fixed my issue (editing the credential – not sure if my password had changed or not but after re-pasting in my password again and saving the credential I was able to edit the build definition again – cheers!).
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this blog entry.
I searched for over an hour and was about to post to stackoverflow before I stumble upon your post.
I tried changing the password but it still did not fix it. I simply deleted/removed the credential and it fixed the issue.
Thankyou thankyou thankyou!
Removing the credential and then restarting Visual Studio once more fixed the issue for me. Thanks!
