Moving a task from a backlog item to another

Hi I am new to TFS and I am in need to move a task , that is set to the next sprint , to the current sprint.

The folder structure in TFS is:

Current: Sprint/Application/Application Active Sprint backlog

Next: Sprint/Application/Application Next Sprint backlog

How can I achieve this?

Edit Sprints should contain PBIs not Tasks. Assuming you meant PBIs (which contain Tasks) then here's a method for doing it in TFS 2013. Using the web interface, you drag it. This assumes you have:

  1. The left sidebar list of sprints is visible.
  2. You are looking at the future sprint that contains the PBI to be moved.
  3. You have expanded the twisty for the current sprint.

To do the drag you click anywhere on the PBI, say the Title, and hold a moment. Move the mouse a bit and you'll see a ghostly rectangle representing that item. You can continue the drag over to the future sprint and release the right mouse button. The PBI and all of its tasks are moved to the iteration path of the future sprint.

You can also edit the PBI and each Task in it, but that's tedious and slows down the commitment meeting.

----edit---- This is described on Microsoft's site: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee191595.aspx
