Greg, In VS goto tools - options - source control. Set this to tfs. Close dialog.
In menu -> View - Team Explorer.. this is what you will need to connect to your TFS instance in cloud. In menu -> View - other windows (I think) - Source Code Explorer.. this will give you a view of your repository of the connected tfs. HTH..
