Question

how to search for files checked out by other users in vs 2008 Team Explorer. I can search for all the files checked out in a project in Visual Source Safe by doing a search, Is there a similar functionality implemented in team explorer? Right now I have to click on every folder and see if files from that folder are checked out by any one else or not.

Thanks

Add this command into the “External Tools…” list of VS.

Tools >> External Tools…
Select “Add” and enter the following:
Title: “View all checked-out files”
Command: “tf.exe”
Arguments: “status $(ProjectDir) /user:* /recursive “
Check “Use Output window”
Un-check “Prompt for arguments”
Select “OK”.
