First, let me explain the situation: I'm a software developer currently in home office. Normally we're using a TFS to sync our sources, but from home I don't have a connection to the TFS. So I'm getting source updates from my coworkers directly, which I then copy into my workspace.

Visual Studio still lists the pending changes I have in my workspace to the last version it saw online on the TFS. That was resonably useful for some time. But now I made a lot of changes and also got a lot of changes from my coworkers, so the list is getting way too big.

What other ways are there to let me see what i have actually worked on since the last source exchange with my coworkers?

What I could do, is make a workspace folder where I put the latest sources with all updates from my coworkers and then compare that whole folder to my current workspace. But how can I do that?

  • The simplest solution would be to disconnect the project from the TFS repository. Have you asked your IT staff for assistance in this matter? – Ramhound Mar 23 '20 at 14:03
  • We don't have IT staff, we're a very small company. – Daniel Bauer Mar 23 '20 at 14:13
  • The problem is not the long list in general, I could just not view it, but i want the functionality of it in some form – Daniel Bauer Mar 23 '20 at 14:13
  • So if I disconnect, it won't improve the situation, or will it? – Daniel Bauer Mar 23 '20 at 14:14
  • If you disconnect the TFS repository from the project you would eliminate VS ability to track changes, but since you are tracking those manually, I suspect that isn't a deal breaker. Without access to the current repository there really isn't a way to track the changes. – Ramhound Mar 23 '20 at 14:31
