Get Latest Version Dialog Box

Tasks Related Topics

Use this dialog box to retrieve a read-only copy of solutions, projects, or individual items from source control. Items marked with a check mark in the Items box are copied from the source control server.

Get Latest Version places a copy of the requested item or items in the local copy of the solution.

Options

Items

Displays a list of the items based on your current selection in the Project Explorer (in the development environment). Select the box next to the items you wish to get from source control and check mark appears next to the item. You can click Check All to select all the items at once.

This box displays the first level of folders and contents; to see additional items contained within sub-folders, click Recurse. Items contained within a sub-folder are not retrieved from source control unless they are displayed individually in the Items box and selected with a check mark.

Recurse

Forces items to be displayed in sub-folders or sub-directories in the Items box. You can then select these items for source control actions.

By default, the Items box displays only the first level of items contained in the Project Explorer for the development environment. Clicking Recurse displays all the subfolders and all their items for any remaining levels of depth in the directory tree, as shown in the Project Explorer. You can then select additional items for actions in source control.

Directories

Shows all the directories of all the items in your current selection. You can use the Recurse box to show additional items in the directories.

DonÆt show any more Get dialogs

Suppresses any more instances of the Get Latest Version dialog boxes. Get Latest Version becomes a direct command on the environment menus. You will not be able to add Comments or use Advanced options until you enable these dialog boxes again.

Get items from subdirectories

Shows all the items in the directories that you selected (checked) in the Items box. You can use this with Recurse and Directories to find items that are not directly nested in your project or not visible in the Project Explorer.

Check All

Selects with a check mark all the items visible in the Items box. To see additional subfolders and levels of items, click Recurse. Only items that are visible in the Items box and are shown with a check mark are retrieved from source control.

Advanced

Displays more options on adding items to source control. Your source control program supplies these options.
