How to work offline with TFS

Question

Our TFS server has some temporary connectivity issues right now, and as such VS has gone unresponsive, leaving 50+ developers unable to work!

Is it possible to switc

Answer 1

There are couple of little visual studio extensions for this purpose:

1. For VS2010 & TFS 2010, try this
2. For VS2012 & TFS 2010, use this

In case of TFS 2012, looks like there is no need for 'Go offline' extensions. I read something about a new feature called local workspace for the similar purpose.

Alternatively I had good success with Git-TF. All the goodness of git and when you are ready, you can push it to TFS.
