I have this really weird problem with TFS that I can't seem to solve.
About a year ago, I created a file called 'extensions.cs' and placed it in source control, let's say around changeset 1000. At changeset 5000 the file was deleted (as it was no longer needed) and life continued, no problems of course.
Now I need to build an older program from around changeset 3000. It just so happened to use 'extensions.cs' but I can't check that file out at changeset 3000 (or any changeset for that matter) even though it would have existed at that time. I can see the file in the source control explorer, but it is grayed out, and its 'latest' status is listed as 'deleted'
It would seem silly that I would not be able to get it back out, so what I am doing wrong, and how do I solve this problem?

You can do this by right clicking the solution folder in the Source Control Explorer and selecting Get Specific Version. Here you can select a specific version either by specifying a changeset, label or date.
Example: getting a specific changeset with TFSUnder Version, in Type select Changeset. Type the changeset number, or click the browse button to display the Find Changesets dialog box, and select the changeset you want. Click Get. The local scripts folder has been updated to the changeset you selected.
Use tf undelete
Or via the UI:
Tools > Options > Source Control > Visual Studio Team Founation Server: Check Show deleted items in the Source Control Explorer. Then select one or more files and Undelete.
