• Visual Studio Team System TFS Source Control Remote Working

  Hi, I hope I am missing the obvious, but I can't find any info on how TFS will work for remote workers.

I imagine there has to be some serious setup if this kind of external access throu ...Show All

  Is there any way to check-in a changeset, but still keep it checked out That's something I often do with VSS6, but I can't see any way with Source Code Explorer. (There's a few things like this from VSS6 that I'm missing - for example, the ability to find all files with a specific suffix, and then be able to easily check them out without having to painstakingly visit each of them in their source code folder.)
