want to top connection to TFS when I am not on our internal networ
c676228
My vs development evironment on the laptop is set when I am in the company.
when I am off our internal network and want to work from home, I always get
the following error message when I open the vs.
The solution appears to be under source control, but its binding information
cannot be
found, Because it is not possible to recover this missing information
automatically, the projects
whose binding will be treated as not under source control.
Later on I need to choose to work temporarily without source control.
what I am trying to ask whether I can set an option to not connecting to our
TFS is i am not on our internal network, so this error message won't show up?
thanks,

Glad to work with you again.
Visual Studio will automatically connect to source control server if the
solution and project file has source control information. There is no
option settings to prevent it. The only way to prevent it is to remove the
source control bindings on your home machine.
In Visual Studio, File -> Source Control -> Change Source Control,
disconnect source control from original server.
After removing source control bindings, you have to bind it back in your
company's machine.

If bind and unbind to the source control for the same project because I have
to work in different env, will there be any issues down the road?

Unfortunately, there will be some issues when you bind and unbind the
source control. Because TFS will detect any changes when bind your source
code to source control. So all your changed files will not be checked out
automatically. Instead, you have to find out them and check out them
manually.
So from this point, I suggest you to continue your orginal way to work in
offline mode when your machine is not in the internal network. The error
message will show only once when it can't connect to TFS server and then it
will change connection status to offline mode. After you back to internal
network, you can right click on the solution file and click Go Online.
In this way, any changes will be automatically checked out and merged.
This is a by design behavior. I couldn't find any better way to workaround
it.
