Check out files modified outside VS from TFS

问题:

If a file is modified in Visual Studio, the files are automatically checked out from Team Foundation Server. However, sometimes there are files not modified in VS, is there command to check out those modified files only?

回答1:

If you download the Team Foundation Server power tools, you can use the "tfpt online" command line.

That said, I would try and avoid this way of working. TFS much prefers to know about files that you are checking out before you start editing them and your interaction with TFS will be much happier if you can do this.

The same power tools can optionally install Windows Explorer integration for TFS which will allow you to check the files out easily outside of Visual Studio.
