There are those times, however rare when you want to remove the source control bindings for TFS from a project/solution. I ran into this myself not long ago and found the answer ( likely on StackOverFlow .. where we all live-and-breath some days, right?) so I wanted to share it here. In Visual Studio you … Read more
