Check out source code from Solution Explorer and not from Source ...


I have migrated a project from VSS to TFVC. As stated above, my requirements are to let developers work in their all too familier solution explorer and not in the source control explorer.

I have a wirkspace and I think the mapping between TFVC and the mapping folder is fine. Despite that, when I open the solution from the locally mapped folder, I can not see any option of checking out the file. The check out works perfectly from the source control explorer.

Where am I going wrong?

It sounds like the solution isn't bound. Check the bindings in File -> Source Control -> Change Source Control. If it's empty and the solution is (a) already in source control (b) opened from a mapped folder, you can simply click Bind.

Hello,

probably solution file (*.sln) does not have source control bindings.

If it has SourceSafe bindings (should notify about error when you open the solution) then you can use tfpt bind (http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2006/09/07/744993.aspx).

If it does not have any bindings at all, you should checkout the solution file (from the Source Code Explorer), open it and go to File->Source Control->Change Source Control and bind it to the apropriate server path. Than check in the change.

I had to reget everything from TFVC and open the projects of the solution one by one in the solution explorer. After all the projects were done, I opened the main solution and this time the bindings were right. Thanks to you both.
