TFS Get Latest Version on Check-Out Add-In

Hi everybody,

And again about the famous issue of the TFS version control – Get latest version on check-out. I hear this question from many customers which migrate from VSS to TFS – "How can we configure TFS to get latest version on check-out, like in VSS?". And the answer is: "In v1 you can not do it". We already posted about it some time ago, you can also read about some reasons for this desision in this article and this discussion.

I wrote a little Add-In for VS2005 that performs silent GetLatest action when the user requests CheckOut. The Utility is configurable through the configuration menu which is located under the "Tools" menu of VS.

You can enable or disable the add-in action and configure the TFS server properties.

This is the Beta version and not yet fully tested, so use it carefully.

You can download it from here.

For 64bit systems download it from here. 

And please report me for bugs…

Enjoy!
