Standard this could not be done with TFS 2008. But if you install the power
tools you will have a tool called “Find in Source Control”
which allows you. This gives you an addition to the Team Explorer menu that
provides the ability to locate files and folders in source control by the item’s status
or with a wildcard expression.
How to use this power tool?
-
Open the source control explorer
-
Right Click on a folder you want to explore
-
Choose from the menu “Find in Source Control”. This will show you a sub menu
with following items: Status search, Wildcard search and changeset.
-
In our example choose Status search
-
You got a popup
-
Choose the default as we want to search for all checked out files and press “Find”
-
This will give you a result like following image
-
Here you can right click on an item. You get a popup menu where you can checkout
files, undo changes (including someone else’s changes if you have enough rights),
view history, open the file and open the folder in Source Control Explorer
