I want to browse TFS changesets.
I do NOT want to search changesets by specifying a file contained within the changeset. I do not want to specify which user I think created the changeset.
I simply want to key in a changeset number and look at that changeset. Or maybe view a range, and then browse those.
No specified file, no specified user. TFS 2008 seems to not want to allow me to do this.
I must be missing something.
How do you do this?
In Source Control Explorer, hit CTRL+G. This will bring up the Find Changesets dialog. Unfortunately it’s kind of one-size-fits-all in VS 2008: you have to work inside a big bulky search dialog, even if you already know the number(s). In your case, flip the radio button to search by range and then key in the desired changeset number as both the start & end of the range.
The VS 2010 version of this dialog simplifies the “lookup single changeset by #” use case, FWIW.
My personal preference: if you have a console window open, there’s a quicker route. Simply type tf changeset 12345. If using the Power Tools, you can substitute “Get-TfsChangeset” or “tfchangeset” for improved performance and programmability.
