-It has worked and suddenly it stopped working

-I can open source control

-I am directly connected over a local lan with the tfs server

Answer 1

I ran into this a while back and found my solution here. The solution is described by "Fern82" near the bottom of the thread.

What you need to do is delete the following directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\<Current User>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Team Foundation\1.0

Next run the following statement in a Visual Studio Command Prompt:

devenv /resetuserdata

I had the same problem, and an apparently separate issue with not being able to publish. I found the solution to the problem with publishing and it also fixed my TFS woes!

This might work for you. Open up a command prompt and run the following, depending on your version of Windows.

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll"

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll"

This re-registers an internet explorer dll that is used by Visual Studio.
