"Change Source Control" not in menu - Team Foundation Server 2010

Question

I'm seeking to repair bindings between Visual Studio and TFS (both 2010) and have done my searching. The pages I sought help from are: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tfs/ms181375(v=vs.100).aspx Can't unbind solution from Team Foundation Server 2010

They all say the following: "On the File menu, click Source Control, and then click Change Source Control", however no such sub-menu exists in my Visual Studio (2010) installation in the "Source Control" sub-menu. I've ensured that the correct project is selected in the Source Control Explorer.

Please help me overcome this nightmare!

I had the same issue. Even with the solution open, I still couldn't see Change Source Control.

What it seems to be, a bit bizarrely, was that I had the solution selected in Solution Explorer. If I selected any other item in the Solution Explorer (e.g. any file) I could then go to File -> Source Control -> Advanced -> Change Source Control... and rebind everything from there.

Maybe it was that I had an item selected that, as far as Visual Studio was concerned, didn't have any source control bindings, so it didn't show the option to change them.
