Team Foundation Server on SQL Server 2005

    I cannot find instruction on how to recover a deleted folder in Team Foundation Server (TFS). Have a table 'dbo.RecycleBin' in the WSS_Content database. In that table is the folder I want to recover. I cannot find instruction how how to get it from the table location into TFS.

    I have found instruction on recovering the entire TFS database. Is the the only method to recover a deleted TFS folder?

    Does anyone have experience with this situation?

    restoration of items is something done from within TFS inteface in Visual Studio, and never at the SQL Server;

    i'm pretty sure this is the steps:

    in Visual Studio go to "Tools>>Options" ,Find "Source Control" and the branch for "Visual Studio Team Foundation Server" and check the "Show deleted items in the Source Control Explorer" on that panel.

    Once you do that, if you go to source control in TFS, you can then right click a folder and say "Undelete"

    Lowell,

    Thank you for your reply. I found that solution at:

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/49456/how-to-recover-a-deleted-branch-in-tfs

    This did not work for me.

    I am still looking for a solution.

    Lowell,

    I found another site that has additional steps.

    This worked.

    Thanks again.
