How to disconnect solutin from source control on TFS

Question

I have a solution with solution folder and projects. Get the whole soure code from TFS in a local folder say c:\mycodes Then copy the folder c:\mycode to another folder c:\lab

In c:\lab, remove all source control file *.vssscc, *.vspscc, then open the solution in c:\lab again.

Part of the project disconnect from TFS, but part of the projects in this solution still connect to TFS and some *.vssscc, *.vspscc files recreated when open the solution. Then unbind all project from server, those projects still have *.vspscc files auto generated.

I want to a clean copy of the source code with no source control. How to resolve this problem?

Answer 1

You must also edit the .sln file, because Visual Studio stores TFS Bindings mostly in this file, one line per project.

Err, wait. You'll still use some source control, right ? Even if I'm no fan of TFS, dropping it for no source control would be a poor move.

Answer 2

In Visual Studio, select the solution in the solution explorer, then go to the File menu. Under the file menu, you'll see a Source Control menu. Under that you'll see Change Source Control.

Select this, and in the dialog box that comes up, choose "unbind."

Your solution is no longer bound.
