Has this happened to anyone? Nothing has changed on my system, yet TFS no longer will auto-checkout files for me when I edit them. If it has, what did you do to fix it?

Under Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Environment, both Saving and Editing are set to "Check out automatically", so I'm pretty confused at this point.

    It hasn't gone offline has it? right click on the solution and in the source control section choose "go online" – grenade Aug 26 '09 at 19:34
  • I have a sinking feeling in my stomach that might be the problem. I have lost my VPN connection a few times today. I'll give it a try. Thanks! – Rob Aug 26 '09 at 19:36
  • @grenade, that turned out to be the problem, if you post it as an answer I'll mark it as an answer for you. I'd hate to see you not get the rep for helping me solve this. – Rob Aug 27 '09 at 17:02

I did end up having to "go online" for my solution. What a pain.

  • Had this happen on VS2012 and the UI does not make this exceptionally clear. Gosh how many times have I restart VS and the OS... – icelava Mar 20 '14 at 02:07

if you restart VS does it fix it? I get it sometimes too, but it's just fouled up VS

  • Yeah, I've restarted both VS and my system. So weird. I'll give it another try, though, couldn't hurt! – Rob Aug 26 '09 at 19:33

Not sure about your specific TFS or Visual Studio version, however in VS2010 you have:

File > Source Control > Change Source Control

enter image description here

If your Solution/Project is listed like above with no Server Name, Binding etc., select it and click Bind. That may get things going again
