Question

In TFS, I add a VS project (which adds the project into source control whether I want it to or not). I realise I’ve made a mistake with its location, so I want to move the source control folder to the correct location.

However, the TFS option to ‘move’ is greyed-out until the project is checked-in. Is TFS forcing me to check it in, and if so, why?

Answer 1

Because Move command is used for existing files/folders already checked into the TFS.

you have 2 options:

1. Backup your project, undo add, move your project into the correct
   location and add it again
2. Check in your project into the wrong location and move it to the correct location after check-in
