VS 2008 and Team Explorer - extracted files

Question

How to search for files verified by other users compared to Team Explorer. I can find all the files verified in the project in Visual Source Safe by doing a search. Is there any similar functionality implemented in the command book? Now I have to click on each folder and see if the files from this folder are uploaded by someone or not.

thanks

Answer 1

Add this command to the "External Tools ..." list of VS.

Tools → External Tools ... Select "Add" and enter the following: Name: "View all extracted files" Command: "tf.exe" Arguments: "status $ (ProjectDir) / user: * / recursive" Select the "Use window "Cancel Validation" Request for Arguments "Select" OK.

Get Power Tools TFS - they integrate into Team Explorer view. You will get a list of people in the team. You can right-click team members and see their current changes.

You can check out TFS Power Tools on the Microsoft website here - the October 2008 release has the functionality of group members.

Attrice TFS Sidekicks can be used to get some information that is not displayed in VS. I believe that the status view will display what you need: http://www.attrice.info/cm/tfs

Installation (free) Microsoft's Team Foundation Server Power Tools adds a number of additional features to the Source Control Explorer, including the ability to right-click on a folder and select "Find In Source Control".

As far as I know, this is not possible from Team Explorer. You can do this from the command line using the TF STATUS command.
