On my TFS server, how can I see where the source code (which folder) of my team project collection is stored?

I can't find anything specifying a location in the Administration Console.

Is the source stored on the file system?

Edit: Stupid question - got confused between TFS and VSS. TFS stores the source and changesets in a SQL database while VSS stores the source on the file system.

I had a similar question and that is how I ran into this thread but I knew that TFS stored data in a sql database but I wanted to know what table(s) because I wanted to make sure my setup was working correctly with friendly names that I had set up. I did a little digging and the root changeset table is tbl_ChangeSet in your TFS database. From there you can extrapolate what you need. Hope that helps.

No, you will need to check out the code to be able to see it. TFS stores Changesets, not individual files.

  • ok but out of interest, it must store the source and changesets somewhere on the server? I was wondering where that location is - are the changesets just stored in the TFS installation folder? – woggles Jun 30 '11 at 11:12
