Re-establish TFS source control bindings

visual-studio-2010 version-control tfs

I have about a dozen Visual Studio 2010 projects I've been working on that are versioned in a TFS repository. Recently I went on a vacation and upgraded my computer's OS to Windows 7 64 bit.

I've reinstalled Visual Studio, and I can connect to my Team Foundation Server and see my projects...only my bindings aren't working correctly. Most of the time none of my files seem to be under source control, but in a couple of projects my source control bindings are OK in the root folder, but not working in subfolders off the project root.

I've tried undoing the binding, opening from source control, and deleting the folder and doing a get latest version. None of these has fixed the problem.

Any thoughts on restoring my bindings?

UPDATE

After poking around I can see there seems to be an extra folder in the path of my "invalid" projects...I've got no idea how it got in there, but this seems to be throwing off my mappings.

You say you've tried undoing the binding, but have you tried rebinding back to source control?

In Visual Studio:

  • Open a solution with the problem
  • Choose the solution in Solution Explorer
  • Pick File->Source Control->Change Source Control
    Visual Studio 2013/2015: File->Source Control->Advanced->Change Source Control
  • Unbind any projects that are bound but not working correctly.
  • Bind all projects that are now unbound.
