I use the Pending Changes window in Visual Studio 2010 to manage my files

  • 0

I use the Pending Changes window in Visual Studio 2010 to manage my files and to checkin with TFS.

My problem is that I will often be working on something and have files checked out then go onto something else, and then something else etc…. I have a lot of files checked out at once.

When I do a checkin, even if its just 1 file visual studio automatically checks the checkbox next to all other files so I have to go through and uncheck the files I dont want for my next checkin.

Is there any way to turn this feature off?

Thanks

    I don’t think you can turn of this feature. To better control this behaviour you have a few options:

    1. Select the folder in which you have the files that you want to check-in and right-click for the menu and choose from there for Check-in pending changes. That will select only the files within the folder/subfolders or project that you selected from the solution explorer.

    2. You can use a trick to deselect all files marked for check-in in the pending changes window, by selecting one file, press CTRL-A and deselect a file.

    Hope that these tips will give you a smoother check-in experience. Also take a note at the comment by Lars Truijens about not mixing changes. It will be very hard to separate these checkins at not break the build at some time.
