Someone emailed me a TFS changeset ID and now I am trying to open this single changeset. Is there an easy was to do this from within Visual Studio (VS 2008 if it matters)?
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.
you can go to the Source Control Explorer in Visual Studio and right-click on your project and select View History . This will show you the list of all changesets made to that project, who made them, the date they were made and any comment added to those changesets.
In Visual Studio a keyboard shortcut can be used for pulling up a specific Changeset or Work Item.
Go to Changeset
In Visual Studio open the Source Control Explorer window and while it has context press
Ctrl + G. Enter the number in the Go To Changeset dialog and press OK.
I know this works in VS 2010, 2012 and 2013, but recall this working as far back as at least Visual Studio 2008.
Go to Work Item
Pressing Ctrl + G when the Team Explorer Work Items window has context brings up the Go To Work Item dialog:
In Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 the TEAM menu contains an option Go to Work Item which also brings up this dialog.
Last Word
Visual Studio is a very contextual program and what happens when a specific keyboard command is used is oftentimes influenced by what window has context. To be clear pressing Ctrl + G when an editor window is open will present the Go To Line dialog.
As with many keyboard commands in Visual Studio your mileage will vary.
In the Source Control Explorer (View -> Other Windows -> Source Control Explorer):
Just select the result and hit ok.
Alternatively, if you want to see what changes were in that changeset...
This will list the files changed in that changeset as well as notes the developer put.
