Unable to get latest from TFS

I have my source code in TFS.

The issue is that when i try to get the latest files from the TFS, I am made to wait for 5 minutes for connecting to server to get. and then it says timed out! Then i will have to connect to the TFS again.

Still not able to get the code! I had tried mapping it to a different folder but even that failed.

I am using Visual Studio 2012 Express for web.

I have already tried clearing all the local data, cache and all that kind o stuff. I even tried resetting the user data.

Also tried logging in with another account to check weather if it was an issue with my Hotmail account(it's not. because i am not able to get it even with another Id).

Nothing helped!

Issue Fixed!

Here are the steps i did to fix it. Since clearing all files may reset all your settings on visual studio, this should be the last possible option to do.

  1. Just did a repair on the VS 2012,
  2. cleared everything from
    C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\4.0\Cache
  3. Clear everything from
    C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
  4. Clear everything from
    C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon

But here is another issue.

I had added a file by mistake to a different repo. I have deleted that from the server(Online). but the deleted project file is still shown in my source explorer in VS with a plus sign! How do i remove those?

if anyone have any idea, please help! Thanks a lot..!

Solution for the second question!

It was a misunderstanding of the pending Change.

I had deleted the folder from the server but the file names still appeared on the TFS source explorer on VS.

It was just because VS did recognize it as a pending change to be checked in even-though it wasn't one!

So just an undo pending changesdid the trick for me!

Seems your project file still have some source control bindings. So that file can be detect as new add file in source control explorer. You need to remove source control bindings.

There is a tool to remove Source Control Bindings from Visual Studio Solutions and Projects from msdn: Remove Source Control Bindings from Visual Studio Solutions and Projects Detail steps as below:

Delete the .suo next to the .sln file, and then opened the .sln file in Notepad and deleted this entire section:

GlobalSection(TeamFoundationVersionControl) = preSolution
    SccNumberOfProjects = 2
    SccEnterpriseProvider = {xxxxx}
    SccTeamFoundationServer = http://some-other-guys-tfs-server/
    SccLocalPath0 = .
    SccProjectUniqueName1 = xxDemo\\xxDemo.csproj
    SccProjectName1 = xxDemo
    SccLocalPath1 = xxDemo
EndGlobalSection

Save the .sln in Notepad and then open in Visual Studio.

In TFS server have you set all privileges (access) for your account. If not then add Administrative access for your account on TFS.
