How to sync a Visual Studio project across computers

I need to sync a local Visual Studio solution across to my laptop so I can continue to work on it while travelling. At the moment I get a working copy of the solution from TFS (online version), work on it at my PC and when needed I manually copy it to my laptop.

On my PC I have the SkyDrive client installed which syncs with my SkyDrive account. I have created a temporary VS solution and stored it inside of the local SkyDrive folder. As I work on it the changes are synced to SkyDrive and then my laptop. There is obviously a fair bit of synching if I build the solution a lot, but overall it does what I was hoping.

This seems like a workable idea, but I was wondering if anyone else has tried this approach and if there are potential problems with it? Is it a practical idea?

One other possible idea is Shelve Sets?

I am using Windows 8 Pro and Visual Studio 2012.

So it looks like Shelvesets are the answer. From my PC and I shelve my changes, go to my laptop, get the shelveset, work on it and then put it back or check it in. This seems like a much cleaner and easier way then going down the SkyDrive route.
