“No appropriate mapping exists” error while unshelving shelveset in TFS

Question

I am using TFS 2012. In TFS there are more than 15 users. When I try to unshelve a shelveset files it shows error as shown below

Answer 1

Check the workspace you have selected in Team Explorer > Pending Changes. You must have a workspace selected that has a mapping which includes the server path of the file you are trying to unshelve.

(Note: make sure you are using the workspace mapping in Team Explorer, NOT the workspace shown in Source Control Explorer.)

So if the file on shelveset is: $/TFS/Main/File1.cs, you need to have a workspace selected with a mapping that includes that file or one of its parent folders (e.g. $/TFS/Main)

I have multiple workspace for different branches and usually see this error when I try to unshelve into "Main" workspace when my "Feature Branch" workspace is selected.
