I am using the VSTS extension in VSCode. There is supposed to be an option to "Rename (VSTS)" where the extension renames the file in version control instead of locally, but the option is not visible.
Is anyone else using this and has encountered this issue?
Original name
Context menu options:
Renamed
Result in visual studio:
Maybe the file is being used by another program. In my case I was running the server using the root directory.

Visual Studio for Mac Community 7.7.4 (build 1)
I went info one of my .NETStandard 2.0 projects and added a string MyLabelTitle to its AppResources.resx file.
I reference this string in my code like so:
AppResource.MyLabelTitle
This will build successfully and that is great.
However, lots of online forums, documentations, Xamarin forums, StackOverflow questions that I have seen state that AppResource.Designer.cs file will regenerate itself when you rebuild your project. Some suggest ignoring it in git as well.
To test that, I reverted back my changes (I am using git) from AppResource.Designer.cs so the end result is that:
AppResource.Designer.cs does not have my changes while
AppResource.resx file has my change in it.
Based on my understanding, rebuilding the project will pick up my change from AppResource.resx file and add it to AppResource.Designer.cs file.
However, building my iOS or Android project will now fail to build because it is referencing one of strings I added in AppResource.resx file.
This string is still present in AppResource.resx file but it wasn't regenerated inside AppResource.Designer.cs and as a result my project is unable to reference that string.
UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO SOLVE
I thought that if I comment out the line of code referencing AppResource.MyLabelTitle, I should be able to build successfully and it did build successfully, but the string MyLabelTitle still was not picked from AppResource.resx file and re-generated inside AppResource.Designer.cs file. As a result, I cannot reference that string anymore in my code.
How to resolve this issue?
I suspect you also posted this problem on the Visual Studio for Mac community forum but will answer it here in case anybody looks here instead.
Visual Studio for Mac does not re-generate the associated .cs files for .resx files when building. It will re-generate the .cs file when the .resx file is saved in the text editor.
One problem here is that the .resx file needs to have unsaved changes otherwise the .cs file will not be re-generated.
Android projects will re-generate their Resources.designer.cs file on building. This .cs file is generated based on the contents of the various .axml files in the project not any .resx files.
There is an addin you can install which might help here. It provides a way to run all custom tools for the solution or project manually or when a build is run.

I moved my Asp.net-mvc project from desktop to F drive and all the files are showing as miscellaneous files.
I've tried running the visual studio installer and modify to make sure that "Nuget targets and build tasks" are ticked.
I've also tried :
excluding the file
add existing member(adding the file again)
but nothing's working.
Same thing happened with my asp.net core web api when I moved it, it's working fine tho, getting data from server.
Hope you will solve your problem
Solution 1:
Create new project then paste all project contents in new created project.Restore Nuget packages then Build it.
Solution 2 :
Go to the file which are Miscellaneous inside Solution Explorer.
Right click those file'(s) and select Exclude from project.
Add Existing Item to project, you just excluded.
Probably your file property configuration is wrong.
Try this:
Right click over the File that has this problem
Click on Properties
Under Advanced -> Build Action, check if other than "Compile" is selected.
If so, change it to "Compile".

Hello, I am struggling to find a folder in TFS by search.
Is there any way to find not only code but folders and file names?
Thanks!
UPD: I don't see this folder in the search result.
I am using (TFS2017)TFVC as version control and the Web/VS2015 as a client.
For TFS 2017, you can use Code Search if it's been configured by your TFS admin.
For earlier versions, the easiest way is going to be to grab a copy of the source code to a local workspace and then search via the Windows file explorer or via a quickie PowerShell script.
Install TFS Power Tools.
Menu Source Control > Find > Find by Wildcard ...
Enter file or directory name.
Based on How to search for a specific file in the source control of TFS inside a particular selected project?
I'm having problems with merge tool in Visual Studio 2015. I didn't need the merge tool for the longest time, I haven't used it for couple of months. Now when I need it I can't find it. I was trying to google and find an answer, checking VS settings but with no success. I can only see buttons 'Overwrite Local File or Folder' and 'Keep Local File Contents'. When I press Compare button, I see diff tool but I'm not able to accept changes (check buttons are missing).
What am I doing wrong? How can I merge two files?
Please navigate to files in source control
Right click on file/folder you want to branch>>Merge
Full list of other solutions.
This is because these files in your local folder are not been tracked by TFS Version Control. For example, you added a file "readme.txt" in you local folder and hadn't check-in them into version control. Another people in your team also added this file in the same relative path and checked it into version control. Now, when you get the latest version or check in your changes, you will get the behavior as your screenshot. A similar question can be found here: TFS Conflict Type: Writable File - A writable file by same name exists locally
It's doing exactly the same things in Visual Studio 2017.
If you had a problem in workspace and you rollback it from a save, you can have the same issue.
You need to rebind some of the project by yourself first like the asked question here : Re etablish TFS source control bindings, then if all is going well you will see the button.
If it's not working, try to use external merge tool which will allow you to edit thoses files.
Let's consider this scenarion: In case that I sinchronize my local folder with latest version at Team Foundation Server 2010 and after that manually delete some local file. My question is how I can force TFS to show me Missing files? (Source Safe would show Missing files in this case) For now, TFS check only file versions (not data) and if there is no change it doesn't make any other actions. In this case there is no version change and it doesn't recognize need for action.
You can perform a get specific version and check the option to download all files even if they match (second option).
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms181387.aspx for more information.
Good advice from Robaticus, you can also use the TFS power tools. You'll need to select a cutom install and make sure that explorer integration is checked.
This will add a new item to your context menu in windows explorer called "Team Foundation Server" you can use this to get latest, move and delete files. This will save the hastle of opening up Visual Studio when you just want to make a simple edit or delete.
Get out of the habit of using the file system and Windows Explorer to manipulate files. Use the Source Code Explorer to delete them. Otherwise you'll run into problems in the long run.
