How to get the list of currently checked out files in TFS?

manish_mgsi — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 09:08:00 GMT

One of the most common question asked by clients is how to fetch the list of currently checked-out files under any TFS project? In VSS, there use to be UI context menu option which retrieves the list of checked out files, but there is not like that in VS 2005 or VS 2008 with TFS.

Alternative is to use following command line statement to fetch all checked-out files for any specific project on the TFS server.

tf.exe status $/[PROJECTNAME] /user:* /s:http://[TFS SERVER NAME]:[PORT] /recursive > [PATH TO SAVE THE OUTPUT]

Example,
tf.exe status $/PROJECTNAME /user:* /s:http://paapp1216:8080 /recursive > c:\checkedout.txt

Personally I have added this command into the "External Tools..." list of VS.

One of the most common public controls provided by TFS API’s is the DomainProjectPicker within the namespace Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Proxy. This dialog class allows the user to select the team project to connect to. Code snippet for using this control is as follows,

DomainProjectPicker dpp = new DomainProjectPicker(DomainProjectPickerMode.None);

if (dpp.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

{

try

{

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;

tfsServer = new TeamFoundationServer(dpp.SelectedServer.Name, new UICredentialsProvider());

tfsServer.Authenticate();

//Connect to VersionControlServer, BuildStore or WorkItemStore.

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

//Exception handling

}

finally

{

Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;

}
