Hi everyone,

I hope it's the place to ask my question.

I have a file in my solution that is locked by another user the no longer work for us, now how can I force this file to be checked out for edit, or maybe to delete it?

Thank you.

Assuming you are using TFS, ask your TFS administrator to undo the checkout.

I'm the administrator :)
I tried to undo with the vs2008 connamd tool but it didn't work....

Any ideas?

Thank you again

Ok I found the correct command

Hi

You may try this:

'use system.io in the header then

File.SetAttributes("path to file", FileAttributes.Normal)

'if you want to delete the file then

File.Delete("Path to file")
