Working offline with TFS version control

[hkimmena]

What is the best way to work offline with a project that is version cotrolled using TFS, but without Visual Studio on the PC you are working off line with?

Using the help only says that before opening my project (EAP-file) I should select 'Work Offline'.
But then my checked out maps show up checked in and I can't check out.

Hello,

you may want to have a look at the Team Explorer, the client for TFS w/o using a real VisualStudio. There are Command Line utilities (tf.exe" checkout ..\theFileYouWantToCheckOut.eap /login:domain\%1,%2) that are maybe working w/o Team Explorer,

or wait for the upcomming PowerTools for TFS with Explorer integration (like TortoiseSVN)
