We are currently use TFS 2010 source control. I have a change-set that I want to rollback but I want to checkout all the included files and shelf them before checking in the old code. Does anyone know if this is possible? There are many many files and I do not want to go through and check them out by hand.
Since the rollback will not actually remove the old files, but will create a new version with the changes removed, you can always see the old version of the files by getting that original changeset number.
No need for shelvesets. Just use get specific version and retrieve the old versions of the file.

I am not sure whether i can the problem good explaning. Well we use TFS for our building. And in our VS solution, there is also an installshield setup project.
Well, sometimes our team members forget the increase products' versions that why we want to give the version number automatically generated like 3.7.1.*
so when we build the project, the version of our product dll/exe will be 3.7.1.5655
and let say we've created the following versions
3.7.1.1234
3.7.1.5678
3.7.1.9134
and we gave the product Version 3.7.1.5678 to our customer. And after a while, the customer said that there is a bug in this version and the version number is 3.7.1.5678.
So, as I said earlier, we made the version number format like 3.7.1.* and we commit always like that so the assemblyinfo.cs file will not be changed. and when the customer said that the version 3.7.1.5678 has problem. how can we find the related version what the customer has, in tfs commit. Let say we committed several time in the same day and we cannot see (or i dont know it) where the version number 3.7.1.5678 has been stored.
Well, I need to find the realted commit and work on this time project but i dont cannot know which commit it was.
My question is that how you solve this problem?
I hope i could explain it.
We have TFS Version 16.122.26918.3 and we use mostly Visual Studio 2017
You could find the corresponding build of version number which is 3.7.1.5678.
For a particular build, it's easy to get related changeset/commit.
Then you could pull down that changeset/commit from TFS to your local workspace, and work on the bugs.
Not sure what your build number looks like, it's better to make a part of build number the same as the last version number(5678), like the usage of $(BuildID).
$(BuildID) is an internal immutable ID.
This is a very simple question - How can I remove Source Control from my solution and projects in order to change the SVN repository ?
I have an old project linked to an old repository, trying to move to a new one, and unable to figure out how.
The Actual place in Visual Studio that suppose to enable this is Grayed out.
Removing the .svn files form the folder doesn't apply as they are not there....
using the latest version of ankhSVN.
In your Visual2013. Go--> Tool----> Optioins--->sourcesControl
And Cuurent Sources Plug in None.
just set This. if not retuen feedback...
You seem to want to change the SVN respository that you're pointing to. There is another Question And Answer, but it seems pretty ugly.
Having installed the latest version of ankhSVN on Visual Studio 2013, it seems pretty trivial to relocate to a different SVN respository.
Right click on the Solution -> Subversion -> Switch Solution
On the menu, you should have an entry pointing to the current location of the solution. If the repository is the same, but under a different URL e.g. changing hostname, directory, etc, then simply change the relevant pieces in the URL and hit enter.
It will prompt you that the root you've specified is different from the one that you're currently using and you can simply relocate it from one to the other - i.e. choose to relocate. It will then prompt you a second time to switch, but this should be a free change.
If the new repository is different to the old one i.e. it's somewhere completely different in a different repository with a different repository ID then you're going to have to do some form of manual changing by following the instructions on the other answer.
If you want to remove the svn metadata for the project, it's in a single directory called .svn at the root of the solution that was checked out from subversion, as well as removing the information in the .sln file that mentions AnkhSVN (it's probably the only entries mentioned in a specific GlobalSection in the file mentioning source control). That purges all the svn data from the solution.
I am in the following situation:
A Team Member worked on a task which was partially done in few changesets, few months back. These changesets were reverted and many more changes are done on same files in subsequent changesets.
I want to get the latest version of code (which I have taken) and have some option to get the older changesets (even I can merge changesets one by one) and merge it.
Though I find option to changeset GetThisVersion which gives me whole old codebase. I don't find relevant option in Visual Studio 2010. It would be great to have GUI option and not command line one.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
You can get specific version of a file from file history (view or get specific version) or with command line Need command to get a file from TFS without a workspace. But to get a folder (project, solution) state seems to be necessary to have a workspace How to get specific version of folder from tfs without creating a workspace?. I don't think that there is a possibility to merge an old and newer version. When I want to resuscitate some old code I use view in history and copy/paste.
I'm having problems with TFS when adding new files or folders to my solution.
When any other people in the team try to "get latest" it updates every changed file but it doesn't download the new added files!!
If we go to the Source Control explorer, the new files appear as "not downloaded"... and if we force it to download, then we have to include the file in the project in his machine too.
I can't believe this is the normal behavior for TFS (I think this is basic) so I assume we are doing something wrong... Any idea of what's happening??
Thanks in advance ;-)
Have you also checked in the project file to which the added files are related? In Solution Explorer these files will only be available if they are also in the local project file. Also check if the user attempting to download has the project file checked out already.
Update:
From within Solution Explorer you'll only get what's required for the referenced files in the .proj file. For Source Control Explorer yes it should get those files if you've never downloaded them before. Best way to be sure is rather than just do Get Latest (which tries to sync what it understands server side about your local workspace with the server) do a Get Specific Version -> Latest Version. This way you can "force" download of all project files irrespective of existing workspace status.
The hint above did not help in my scenario.
What did do the trick was to check out an old version (with the two overwrite-checkboxes) and get the latest version afterwards (also with the two overwrite-checkboxes).
This is a huge bug in TFS IMO.
I just had the same problem. My co-worker created a new file (with content, not just an empty file). He did a check-in, and everything went well on his end. But the file never got downloaded to my project. I could go into Source control explorer and navigate to the file in question, then do a "get latest version" or "get specific version" on it, but it still didn't appear in my project.
Then my co-worker did some cosmetic changes to the file and did another commit. This time, when I did a simple "get latest version" on the whole project, the file downloaded without a problem.

Find unadded files in Team Foundation Server
I am working on a project with another developer. We are in the process of a major upgrade with lots of breaking changes. The software we are working on is an AddOn to a product, and we are upgrading to work with a new version of the product. He has checked in some breaking changes that will not run in my environment yet because I am still running on the old version of the product. I have checked in some changes on top of those. Is there any way I can retrieve the code such that it includes only the changes up to the point before the breaking changes and also include only my changes after that in my workspace?
If I had not done a "get latest" I would be OK now because I made the changes on my machine so I would have them. But now I need to "get specific version" to take me back before all the breaking changes and somehow merge only my changesets into my workspace. But there seems to be no way to merge changesets into a workspace, only into another tree. I could select only the files that I touched and get the latest versions of those files, but some of the files contain changes from both my changesets and his changesets (and mine are after his).
So what I really want is a way to merge specific changesets into my workspace (without pciking up all the previous changes) to get back to the state I was in before I did "Get Latest". Is there any way to do that?
Looks like there's no good way to do this. Fortunately, I had another branch that represented the changes I wanted (I had only merged my changes I wanted into it). It didn't feel right to just copy the whole tree over my working tree, so I used WinMerge to identify the files that were different and copied just those files over (after a cursory look to confirm that it was a file that included my changes -- there were a few files generated by Visual Studio that were different just because they were in a different path).
So I guess the general solution would be to create a branch in TFS, merge everything you want into it, get a local copy, then copy the results into your workspace. That does leave a mess in TFS, though (how do you completely remove the dummy branch?) Fortunately the branch I had was one we really wanted to keep (we have a build branch separate from teh development branch).
I'm not really sure if this answers your question, but if you select "Get Specific Version..." then you can select a specific changeset.
