Work offline in Team Foundation Server

Question

Is there a way to set \"work offline\" in TFS without having to try opening a solution, waiting for it to time out, and then having Visual Studio work out that it has failed

Answer 1

when I have to work offline I just unplug my ethernet cable and start TFS 2008. It starts me in offline mode. Then plug back in, right-click 'work online' in solution explorer, and TFS will ask you to check in your offline changes.
