Why Why WHY doesn\'t TFS\'s get latest work consistently?

You would have thought that feature would have been tested thoroughly.

What I have to do is, get sp

Answer 1

Every time this happens to me (so far) is because I have local edits pending on the .csproj project file. That file seems to keep a list of all the files included in the project. Any new files added by somebody else are "not downloaded" because they are not in my locally edited (now stale) project file. To get all the files I first have to undo pending changes to the .csproj file first then "get all". I do not have to undo other changes I have made, but I may have to go back and include my new files again (and then the next guy gets the same problem when he tries to "get all"...)

It seems to me there is some fundamental kludginess when multiple people are adding new files at the same time.

(this is in .Net Framework projects, maybe the other frameworks like Core behave differently)
