How to have TFS 2010 detect changes done to files outside of Visual Studio?
I'm using Team Foundation Server 2010 with Visual Studio 2010. Whenever I modify a file outside of Visual Studio, TFS doesn't seem to detect the change done to the file, and thus doesn't offer me the option to check-in the file after it has been modified. How can this be solved? Edward Thomson If you have a network connection to your server while you're working outside of Visual Studio, it's probably best to go ahead and check the file out before editing it, either using the tf command line client, or using the Windows Explorer shell integration that's available in the TFS Power Tools release.
