Thank you so much. This add-in helped us a lot for our offshore developers. Our developers in India were complaining that TFS check-in and checkout took more time because of VPN connection. Now they are able to work productively in offline mode and do check-in twice a day.
Prefect, exactly what I needed, this has already saved me bags of time! Thanks for writing and sharing it, it's on my list of 'must have' extensions now!
Hi,
This seems like an awesome extension, but it has one side effect on our product (on VS 2010 Pro). Our service reference cannot update because it seems to change the authentication scheme from 'Negotiate,NTLM' to 'Anonymous'. It works again when I disable the extension.
Any ideas?
Full message:
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
There was an error downloading '<my-service>.svc'.
The operation has timed out
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: '<my-service>.svc'.
The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Negotiate,NTLM'.
The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
---------------------------
OK

With permission of author, I made version for VS2012.

The button should show up under File|SourceControl|Go Offline.
It is shown if the following three conditions are true:
1. VS supports TFS.
2. The solution has valid bindings to TFS.
3. The solution is not already offline.
However, due to the architecture of VS, these conditions are only evaluated once the extension has been loaded. The button is always visible before the extension has been loaded - ie: right after VS has started before you open any solutions.
Great extension! I was wondering if it was possible to add it to the right click menu in the solution explorer as well? It would be nice to be able to right click on the solution or project etc and click Go Offline instead of having to navigate to the File menu.
Once offline there is a 'Go Online' option in the right click menu.
