How to disconnect solution from source control on TFS

Question

I have a solution with solution folder and projects. Get the whole soure code from TFS in a local folder say c:\mycodes Then copy the folder c:\mycode to another folder c:\lab

In c:\lab, remove all source control file *.vssscc, *.vspscc, then open the solution in c:\lab again.

Part of the project disconnect from TFS, but part of the projects in this solution still connect to TFS and some *.vssscc, *.vspscc files recreated when open the solution. Then unbind all project from server, those projects still have *.vspscc files auto generated.

I want to a clean copy of the source code with no source control. How to resolve this problem?

Answer 1

In Visual Studio, select the solution in the solution explorer, then go to the File menu. Under the file menu, you'll see a Source Control menu. Under that you'll see Change Source Control.

Select this, and in the dialog box that comes up, choose "unbind."

Your solution is no longer bound.

Answer 2

1. Delete *.vssscc, *.vspscc, files .
2. Open .sln file on notepad. Delete the code lines:

Code:

GlobalSection(TeamFoundationVersionControl) = preSolution         SccNumberOfProjects = 1         SccEnterpriseProvider = JKHJ78900-10FA-6457-4535-645676465463}         SccTeamFoundationServer = https://********.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection         SccLocalPath0 = .     EndGlobalSection
