• Visual Studio Team System REFRESH files and TFS

  I think I must be missing something as regards how web service projects work in a team environment. Perhaps someone can explain the missing link for me. Upon installation, the default location for Visual Studio projects is within My Documents. Keep this in mind for a moment.
