So I came back to a project that I was working on a few months ago, and when I load it one of the projects seems to have lost the link to it's entry in TFS. The solution explorer doesn't show the lock icons for it, but I still see it in TFS.
I tried performing a add to source control but it says that the items already exist.
Anybody have ideas on how to fix this?
I'm trying to avoid remapping because there are a few branches, and I'm not even sure that will fix it.
Your solution has lost the TFS binding, you can do the following to fix it. First open the solution/project you wish to bind in Visual studio then:
Highlight the project or solution you wish to bind to Team Foundation version control in Solution Explorer.
On the File menu, click Source Control, and then click Change Source Control.
3.In Change Source Control dialog box, click Bind.

Update for VS 2013 (thank you Caad9) - In VS 2013 [Ultimate at least] there's an additional level in the menu; File - Source Control - Advanced - Change Source Control... which brings up the dialog
I am working in Visual Studio 2010 with Team Foundation Server 2010. Everything was fine with the check in and check out. Now I am stuck with a problem. The problem is .csproj file is missing while showing the pending changes. Because of this when I check in any .cs file it is not updated in server. Can anyone say me in what way I am going wrong?
The first thing you should do is install TFS power tools. My suspicion from what you've said is that the csproj file is not under source control, and the easiest way to get it in is via power tools.
In order to validate that this is the case, open the source control explorer and look in your repository for the csproj file. My guess is that you won't find it. If you don't then navigate to it in explorer, right click and select add to source control.
(You can do this without power tools, just select add files and navigate to it)
I had the same problem and then found the .csproj under "Excluded changes" via the "Detected xx add(s)" link. I could "promote" it so it got visible in the "Included changes".
I've seen some SVN tools that use a "diff" command that will highlight the differences between two files. However, I don't understand how to do this within Visual Web developer 2010 (Express). Any help discovering this method will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
PS: I include visual-studio-2010 in the tags as I think it is the closest thing to web developer 2010.
I am not sure if VWD has its own file compare function, but you could use WinDiff from the Windows SDK. Here is the link for version 7.1 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279
Taken from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb385990.aspx
To compare two files
On the View menu, click Other Windows, and then click Source Control Explorer.
In Source Control Explorer, right-click the version of the file that you want to
compare, and then click Compare.
NoteNote
As an option, you can right-click a file in Solution Explorer and then click Compare.
The Compare dialog box appears and the local path of the file that you selected is
in the Source Path box.
Enter the Target Path or click Browse and locate the target folder.
Under Target Version, select the Type you want to use for comparison: Changeset,
Date, Label, Latest Version, or Workspace Version.
Click OK.
If the files have no differences, the Microsoft Visual Studio dialog box appears,
informing you that the files are identical. Click OK.
Otherwise, a difference window displays the files side by side.
I use devart's code compare tool and it worked really good for me. You can download it from here.

The first time I pressed F1 in Visual Studio 2010, I mistakenly chose to use local help files (which I don't have) rather than online.
Now, whenever I press F1 in VS2010, The Microsoft Help Viewer 1.1 launches with nothing in it.
How do I change the F1 behaviour to online help?
Note: There appear to be Help settings in Tools > Options for VS2008 and VS2005, but none for VS2010?
The help settings are set in Visual Studio 2010's Help Manager:
Help -> Manage Help Settings
Choose Online or Local Help.
In Visual Studio 2012, you can find it in:
Help -> Add and Remove Help Content
Add or Remove content as you like. Update button on the bottom right.
I had this problem, if I click "OK" on the location it gave me it then sat and thought for a bit, then gave me the option to pick.
Options were:
choose online or local help
check for updates online
install content from online
install content from disk
remove content.
With VS2012 choose Help->Set Help Preference->Launch in Browser (or Launch in Help Viewer)
Delete the trailing slash C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\HelpLibrary\ <-- And press OK. Then VS2012 will open new settings window, where you can choose online help/
In visual studio 2010, under solution explorer the source control icons by the files denote that the file is currently checked out. However if I look at the file in the source control explorer it appears not to be checked out. I have tried the "refresh" button in solution explorer as well as "get latest version...". Neither update the status icon by the file. Thanks in advance.
Try the 'Refresh Status' command available on the File > Source Control menu. This command is also available on the 'Source Control - Team Foundation' toolbar if you have it showing.
Is it possible that the file is checked out under another workspace? If the Source Control Explorer (SCE), look in the "User" column for one of the files that appear checked out. Does a user name (with a workspace name in parenthese) appear? If so, then that user has the file checked out within the workspace listed.
In Visual Studio 2008 there was an issue with shelvesets: http://blogs.infosupport.com/blogs/marcelv/archive/2007/12/03/Team-Foundation-Server-2008-shows-incorrect-version-control-status-in-team-explorer-.aspx
Could this be the case for you too?
