Is there a way to check-out multiple files from various folders in TFS in a single operation

Question

Is there a way to check-out multiple files from various folders in TFS in a single operation.

i have modified multiple files under muliple direcotries but i want them to check-out in a single click and check-in also in single click.

Thanks.

I wonder why. Is that because you don't use multiple check outs? And isn't that a bad thing to do? Check out files *after* you changed them? — Lars Truijens, Sep 23 '11 at 17:46

Yes, using the TFS command line client (tf.exe).

If you have tf.exe available, you could do this using the checkout command. (If you don't, take a look at this question: How to get tf.exe (TFS command line client)?)

Example: Separate multiple files by spaces

tf checkout file2.cs file2.cs

Example: Use a wildcard to search

tf checkout *.csproj /recursive

Yes, in the solution explorer hold down the control key as you select files and them check them out all at once.
