How can I programmatically check-out an item for edit in TFS?

Question

I\'m working on a utility processing files being under source control using TFS 2010.

If an item is not yet checked-out for edit, I\'m getting an exception, what is

Answer 1

private const string tfsServer = @"http://tfsserver.org:8080/tfs";

public void CheckOutFromTFS(string fileName)
{
    using (TfsTeamProjectCollection pc = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(new Uri(tfsServer)))        
    {
        if (pc != null)
        {
            WorkspaceInfo workspaceInfo = Workstation.Current.GetLocalWorkspaceInfo(fileName);
            if (null != workspaceInfo)
            {                   
                Workspace workspace = workspaceInfo.GetWorkspace(pc);
                workspace.PendEdit(fileName);
            }
        }
    }
    FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(fileName);
}

Note that Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.TeamFoundationServerFactory is obsolete: The TeamFoundationServer class is obsolete. Use the TeamFoundationProjectCollection or TfsConfigurationServer classes to talk to a 2010 Team Foundation Server. In order to talk to a 2005 or 2008 Team Foundation Server use the TeamFoundationProjectCollection class. The corresponding factory class for that is the TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.
