But here's a simple scenario for AdventureWorksDW which works - is this along the lines of what you're looking to do with XML data in SQL Server - Create a new Analysis ...Show All

  Is there a way to force a check-out lock on binary files when they are checked out Since you cannot merge these files, wouldn't it make sense to automatically lock them on checkout Seems like disastrous consequences are looming without this capability since someone will check their changes in over a previous checkin changes. Thanks. Lots of common binary files are set to non-mergeable (exclusive lock) by default. You can customize which file extensions are mergeable via Team -> TFS Settings -> Source Control File Types. ...Show All
