I've been all over the Visual Studio IDE and haven't been able to find where to see the itemized code/files affected by a specific changeset.

We're using Team Foundation Server 2008 and we have a few users that do not have CALs but we'd like them to be able to enter their own work items and view them.

I am currently developing a Web Site (not a Web Application) in VS2008. I have a problem however with the way that TFS2008 handles the DLLs in the BIN directory. I do not want them being checked into TFS - this prevents other developers on the team from building the website as TFS will only allow checking them out exclusively. I have ...
