TFS Power Tools 2010 Showing File Checked Out


Somehow TFS Power Tools thinks my file is checked out, it won't let me check-out because that option is greyed out.

When I look in windows explorer I see my file with the little pen icon overlay. When I right-click and go to "Team Foundation Server", I choose undo but then get the message "There are no changes to undo in the selection or any children of the selection". If I right-click and go to Check-In then I get the message "no pending changes".

When I open source control explorer in Visual Studio it shows no pending changes for the file.

Can anyone please advise any steps I can take to resolve?


Solution

  • Can it be that the file is checked out by you on another workspace?
    Go to VStudio & check "Team Members" under Team Explorer. Right-click on yourself & select "Show pending changes". This should show all your checked out items, across all workspaces/worstations. You can also undo it there.

    Eventually, in order to find out what is happening with your file go in VS to
    "File">"Source Control">"Find in Source Control">"Status"
    Select the path to your module & hit 'find'. This should reveal if any other person has this file checked out
