I have mapped a tfs project to my local (c:\tfs\SolutionFolder) I have done some changes in my local in 2 files (c:\tfs\SolutionFolder\xyz.aspx.cs and web.config) I need to revert all my changes in these 2 files only without hampering the changes in other files by giving the path and to take the server versions of these 2 files.Is there any way?

Yes, this is possible. In order for me to walk you through it, I need to know which edition of Visual Studio are you using.

Open Visual Studio 2012 and click View -> Team Explorer. From there, click "Pending Changes". In the list, locate the file(s) you need to undo the changes to and right click on them and select "Undo". Click the button "Undo Changes".

i need to do it progammatically using c# from an extenal application

Why do you need to do this programmatically? What exactly are trying to do?

i have mapped my solution to my local.and done some changes some files.Now i want to create one web application which will give me back the server version of some files (i will give the paths of those files) without hampering the rest

I'm not sure I follow why you need to create a web application. If you have pending local changes and you need to undo them, you simply undo them. If you need to undo the changes because you need to revert back to the server version without loosing what you did, simply shelve the changes.

I think might be over complicating this.

bro,its the requirement.i already knew what u r saying.

Here is the problem, working with the TFS API is not a simple thing and it isn't well documented. While your requirements zero sense, I can put together sample code, but I won't be able to get to it till later tonight. You have another option of building a wrapper around the command line tools.

no u can just do one thing pls let me know how can i get the server version of a file mapped from tfs,so that we can replace it with the modified file.

virusstorm 14-May-15 15:10pm

Again, not a simple task. You need to connect to TFS, get the version control service and the workspace service. Locate the file in the work space and get the server path. Then get the file from source control if you want to over write it. If you want to undo the change, the workspace service will let you do that.
