Q:

Is there a overview of my existing shelves available in Visual Studio 2008 when shelving?

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and discovered the shelve/unshelve function for me and became a great fan of it.

But there is one thing that annoys me. The shelve dialog lags a overview of my existing shelves. So each time I want to shelve I first open the unshelve dialog which lists all my existing shelves. After closing the dialog I open the shelve dialog to create a new one or to overwrite an existing one.

So I'm wondering if there is way to get a list of my own shelves stored on the TFS without having to open the unshelve dialog before.

The problem is that I'm logged on as a local user that is unknown to the TFS. As far as I see there is no way to pass a login and credentials to the tf command so the command line seems to be no option for me.

But how are you going to create/overwrite shelvesets if you are not the TFS user?

Shelvesets are stored on the Team Foundation Server and can be retrieved into a workspace by any user who has sufficient permissions using the Unshelve Command. ExamplesThe following example lists the shelvesets owned by "BuddyTest."c:\projects>tf shelvesets /owner:BuddyTestThe following example displays information about the shelvesets on the Team Foundation Server to which the current directory maps.c:\projects>tf shelvesets /owner:*

All tf commands support the /login parameter for specifying credentials at the command line.

You can install Team Foundation Sidekicks from Attrice Corporation. It is free and has many very useful tools. Here is what the shelvesets view looks like: alt text
