• Close your solution.

• Unplug your network cable.

• Open your solution.

• Visual Studio will tell you that TFS is not available and will open the solution "Offline".

• If you decide you want to check them in, take the solution Online by right-clicking it in the Solution Explorer.

• Otherwise, just delete the local copy of the source when you're through with it.
