View entire check in history TFS

Question

Have been searching all over the internet but struggling to find my answer to this simple question.

I'm using TFS with VS 2010 and all I want to do is view the check in history NOT just for a single file.

That's helpful when I need to use it, but I want a bigger history so I can just see EACH check in and what comments I put next to it.

If I select the solution or the main project, for whatever reason, I only get a subset of the checkins done (I assume because changes did not directly affect those higher levels, but not sure)

Answer 1

You can right click on any folder in the Source Control Explorer (not the solution opened in Visual Studio) and do view history. That should show all changes sets that has happened in that folder tree. Is this what you want ?

Answer 2

To do this from the Solution Explorer:

1. Right click the solution -> Source Control -> View History
2. In the Source Location path textbox, delete '*.sln' from the path and press enter

Just a simple way which doesn't require accessing the Source Control Explorer since I rarely have it open.

Answer 3

Go to Home folder of the Source Control Explorer, right click on it and select "View History".

Answer 4

Here is the solution for VS2017

• Team Menu Item -> Manage Connections
• Double Click your project
• Hit Changes
• Actions Link -> View History
