You need to setup a local Workspace (if there isn't one already) and then map your project to a local working directory. From Step 1 of this MSDN article:

You can create a workspace mapping in one of two ways:

* Set the workspace mapping explicitly
* Perform a Get operation on your team project.

To set a workspace mapping explicitly

  1. In Visual Studio, on the File menu, point to Source Control and then click Workspaces.
  2. In the Manage Workspaces dialog box, select your computer name and then click Edit.
  3. In the Edit Workspace dialog box, in the Working folders list, click Click here to enter a new working folder.
  4. Click the ellipsis (…) button, select your team project (for example MyTeamProject1), and then click OK.
  5. Click the local folder cell to display another ellipsis button.
  6. Click the ellipsis button beneath Local Folder and then browse to and select the local folder on your development computer where you want to locate your team project; for example, C:\DevProjects\MyTeamProject1.
  7. Click OK twice to close the Edit Workspace dialog box.
  8. Click OK in response to the Microsoft Visual Studio message box that informs you than one or more working folders have changed.
  9. Click Close to close the Manage Workspaces dialog box.

To perform a Get operation on your team project

  1. In Team Explorer, expand your team project node; for example, MyTeamProject1.
  2. Double-click Source Control beneath your team project.
  3. In Source Control Explorer, right-click the root folder MyTeamProject1 and then click Get Latest Version.
  4. In the Browse For Folder dialog box, select your local path (for example, C:\DevProjects\MyTeamProject1) and then click OK. This maps the team project root folder within TFS to a local path on your computer.
