• Open an existing team project. For more information, see Walkthrough: Joining a Team Project.

• Add the project to source control and thereby create a local workspace in which to store, edit, and test your source-controlled files.

• Create a Visual Studio solution and then perform a source control check-in on it. For more information, see Adding Projects and Solutions to Source Control from Solution Explorer.

If you are not familiar with these prerequisite steps, we recommend that you review Walkthrough: Exploring Team Foundation Source Control first.

The following procedure, describes a shelve action which lets you set aside the pending changes in your workspace temporarily. A shelve action can also be used to share your code with another user for code review.

Perform a Get Latest operation to synchronize your workspace with the latest server version, and then build your application to make sure that it compiles before shelving or checking in. Doing this lets you incorporate changes to source files that have been made outside your workspace. For more information, see How to: Update the Source in your Workspace.

The following procedure assumes that you have a solution with pending changes.
