How to open a project for editing using Team Foundation Server

Question

I just started using the new free Team Foundation Server (http://tfs.visualstudio.com/) I have a project that has been verified and I can see the entire source in the source viewer on the website.

I am connected to my project in Visual Studio. But absolutely nothing appears in my solution explorer, and I seem to be unable to figure out how to download the entire source so that I can work on my project.

Any suggestions? I have no idea how to use this, and I read all the tutorials on the website, but they do not show me how to actually open my project.

Again, I am connected to the project, but nothing is displayed in the Solution Explorer.

Answer 1

In Team Explorer, go to the project and double-click on it.

Or, go to File ... Source Control ... Advanced ... Open from Source Control.

You need your workspace to be displayed for any work option.

To map a workspace, select the Workspaces option in the Workspace section of the Version Control Explorer. From there, select your workspace that you want to display and edit. All you just need to do is select a local folder.
