RE: Connecting automatically to TFS

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello Dave,

Thanks for your post.

It seems that Visual Studio cannot automatically switch your solution from
offline to online. The solution is to set it manually. There are two ways:

1. Using TFS Explorer
a. Open the solution offline and right click the solution.
b. On the context menu, find and select "Go Online" option.
There is some possibilities that you are unable to see this option, then
try solution #2.

2. Set registry keys
a. Open
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\TeamFoundation\Servers
\<tfs server name>
b. Change "Offline" to 0
c. Change "AutoReconnect" to 1

Please try the solutions above and let me know if they works for you.
Thanks.

Note: Please let me know what your visual studio version, in this reply, I
am supposing that you use VS 2008.
