Our TFS server has some temporary connectivity issues right now, and as such VS has gone unresponsive, leaving 50+ developers unable to work!
Is it possible to switch TFS into an offline mode in the event of such an issue?
You can get the TFS project from Visual Studio. First, you have to connect the project via Team Explorer in Visual Studio then add a server and click 'select team project' and you're done. It is downloaded to your PC.
See this reference for information on how to bind/unbind your solution or project from source control. NOTE: this doesn't apply if you are using GIT and may not apply to versions later than VS2008.
Quoting from the reference:
To disconnect a solution or project from source control
In Visual Studio, open Solution Explorer and select the item(s) to disconnect.
On the File menu, click Source Control, then Change Source Control.
In the Change Source Control dialog box, click Disconnect.
Click OK.
