[UPDATE 11\/5\/12] <\/strong>I wanted to add that when using either the hierarchy view or the track changeset view, you can use Ctrl-C when the window has focus to get an image of it copied to the clipboard rather than having to use a screenshot tool.<\/p>\n

One of the great features in TFS 2010 is the ability to track changesets across branches. A prime user scenario for this feature is determining whether a fix has made it to a particular branch. Here’s an example of how to do that.<\/p>\n

How to track a changeset number:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bring up Source Control Explorer in VS by double clicking the Source Control node in Team Explorer (or make sure SCE has focus)<\/li>\n
  2. Press Ctrl-G to bring up the Go to Changeset dialog (or Edit -> Go To… from the main menu)<\/li>\n
  3. Enter the changeset and click Track Changeset. For this example, I’ll use 1984519 on our internal server.<\/li>\n
  4. Specify the branches you want displayed and click Visualize. In this case I’m interested in Main. Because the change originates in MQTools, it is required and automatically selected. I also specified MQALM to show a branch where the fix has not been merged. The screenshot on the left shows the hierarchy view, and clicking the Timeline Tracking toolbar button shows the timeline view.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"clip_image002\"<\/a><\/td>\n\"clip_image002[4]\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

     <\/p>\n

    How to track a work item:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n

    If you have a work item that has a changeset link, it’s even simpler. Bring up the work item form, right click on the form, and choose Track Work Item.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Enjoy!<\/p>\n
