Move Visual Studio 2010 Project from one TFS to another?

I have a project in visual studio 2010 bind to the TFS. Now we have a new TFS server, i'd like to move my entire project to new TFS server. But here is the problem. I have lots of pending changes that i made while i was offline. So as you can imagine i do not want to lose any pending changes but i have to bind my current project to the new TFS server?

And also i cannot check-in my old data because the old TFS server that my project is bind is currently unavailable.

I cannot shelve my changes because i cannot go online with the old TFS.

How could i manage to achieve this?

If you want to keep any TFS history then you'll need to migrate the project across.

Otherwise, just forget the old server and add the files to your new server:

  • Back up your data
  • In File > Source Control, Unbind the project (or just Clean it and get rid of all .scc/.vssscc files etc)
  • Move the source code into an approriate place in your (new) workspace folder, or map the current location into your new workspace, so that the project is in a source-controlled location for your new server.
  • Go to Source Control and Add all the solution files to the new source control
  • Check in
