How do I figure out what changeset I currently have in my local workspace?
Sure, I can pick one file and view its history. However, if that file was not recently updated, its changeset is probably older than the more recently updated files in the same solution.
One possible mistake that we may make is that we view the history on the solution file, however the solution file rarely changes unless you're adding a new project / making solution-level changes.
In the end to figure out the changeset I need to remember what were the latest files changed and view their history.
Is there a better way to do this?

Take searching for a changeset in Visual Studio's TFS Source Explorer. Luckily if super easy to do! When you're in the Source Explorer, simply press Ctrl + G and the Find ChangeSet dialog will appear. From here you can type the changeset number and press OK.
Type the number of the changeset and choose OK. If you don't know the number, to find a changeset, In Source Control Explorer, on the menu bar, File => Source Control => Find => Find Changesets. The Find Changesets dialog box will appear.
Just copy and paste url inside your browser and you are done. If you have not previously authenticated with your TFS or VSO you will be prompted for credentials, then the file is downloaded.
Your answer is on a MSDN blog by Buck Hodges: How to determine the latest changeset in your workspace
from the root (top) of your workspace, in cmd perform:
tf history . /r /noprompt /stopafter:1 /version:W Run a Visual Studio CMD (in my case, for VS2015 is called: "Developer Command Promp for VS2015") and then get into your project folder and execute the following command:
tf history . /r /noprompt /stopafter:1 /version:W If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
