How do I remove TFS connections from a Visual Studio 2010 C# project/solution?

Question

I have been given the full source code to work on locally (C#.NET/XAML/Visual Studio 2010), but I do not have access to TFS.

Every time I open the solution, it always asks for TFS which I have to cancel every time, but the code is now developed locally from here on out and I will not have access.

How do I effectively "disconnect" TFS from this build?

Answer 1

You can either choose to work offline, or unbind the projects:

File->Source Control->Change Source Control

Answer 2

File>Source Control>Change Source Control...>Unbind

Beaten to it...

Answer 3

If solution is already unbound (which happens sometimes), you can simply open the solution file, or the project file in notepad, and delete information regarding connecting to TFS.

In solution files ( .sln files) for example, you might see information like this:

GlobalSection(TeamFoundationVersionControl) = preSolution
    SccNumberOfProjects = 4
    SccEnterpriseProvider = {4CA58AB2-18FA-4F8D-95D4-32DDF27D184C}
    SccTeamFoundationServer = https://nemati.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection
    SccLocalPath0 = .
    SccProjectUniqueName1 = ..\\Framework\\Framework\\Framework.csproj
    SccProjectName1 = ../Framework/Framework
    SccLocalPath1 = ..\\Framework\\Framework
    SccProjectUniqueName2 = Website\\Phis.csproj
    SccProjectName2 = Website
    SccLocalPath2 = Website
    SccProjectUniqueName3 = Tests\\Tests.csproj
    SccProjectName3 = Tests
    SccLocalPath3 = Tests
EndGlobalSection

Just read it, and you'll understand what it says. Very simple, self-descriptive and self-explanatory. Just delete this section and reopen your solution.

Answer 4

The best way I found was to go Tools > Options Then, under the left hand menu select " Source Control ".

You should see a " Current source control plug-in:" dropdown menu on the right hand side. Select " None " and please do this while no projects are open.

Doing it this way makes it easy if you ever wanted to learn TFS.
